The phenomenon is backed by abundant data from plant chemical ecology. Sufficient data are also available to conclude that plant defenses act as deterrent and repellent to attacking herbivores, particularly deleterious generalist insects. In the wild, generalist species are usually not endemic, meaning ...
We performed preliminary experiments to determine accurate sub-lethal concentration for each compound, meaning that we looked for the highest concentration in which mortality did not differ between 'sucrose only' and 'sucrose + phytotoxin' diets. For dissolution of flavone and quercetin, 1% ...
tumefaciens C58 recognized both nopaline and octopine, with a very close affinity, in the micromolar range, meaning that NocT-mediated transport system had no preference inoculum and the tumor (Figure 5c). The competitive between these opines (this work); (ii) the NoxAB index of the derived...
Identifying stabilizing factors in foodwebs is a long standing challenge with wide implications for community ecology and conservation. Here, we investigate the stability of spatially resolved meta-foodwebs with far-ranging super-predators for whom the whole meta-foodwebs appears to be a single habita...
