Allegheny mound antsare named for their large, conspicuous nests which can be 2 meters or more across and a meter high. They are native to eastern North America from Nova Scotia to Georgia. The ants pictured here were resident in the Allegheny National Forest of northeastern Pennsylvania. AMA ...
The Tlingit indians of North America explain the origin of mosquitoes in a story of a blood-sucking, carnivorous giant who fed on hu-mans. This ... R Cherry - 《Acta Cytologica》 被引量: 8发表: 2002年 加载更多来源期刊 Nature
Here, we provide a genetic and modelling analysis for a gene drive in the common wasp,Vespula vulgarisL (Fig.1a). Common wasps have been included on the list of ‘100 of the World’s worst invasive alien species’17. Native to Eurasia, this insect has invaded Australia, South America, H...
noctilio has been previously introduced outside of its native range, its arrival in North America was the first time that it was introduced to communities hosting native Sirex species and Amylostereum strains. We conducted experiments aiming to investigate acceptance versus avoidance of native and non...
There are 4,000 native bee species in North America, with the southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico being home to the greatest variety in the world. Carol Hayden Bee Research Center says there are 1,000 to 1,200 species of bees “within a one-hundred-mile radius of Tucson,” where the...
freeze-killedM. uniraptorfemales were not courted and copulated with at all (CB: χ2 = 14.4,P < 0.001; CA: χ2 = 29.19,P < 0.001, Fig.2a). An additional assay focusing on anotherN. vitripennispopulation collected in North America in close sympatry with other Pteromal...
N.'' on a ``Carnivorous Wasp'' in last week's NATURE brings to my recollection a similar observation of my own about a fortnight ago. My attention was drawn to an immense number of wasps and flies feeding together, apparently in perfect amity, at the bottom of a recently emptied sugar...
noctilio has been previously introduced outside of its native range, its arrival in North America was the first time that it was introduced to communities hosting native Sirex species and Amylostereum strains.

Functional traits are useful for comparing the resource use of invasive and native species, with goals of identifying resource overlap to predict competitive interactions. The invasion of northeastern North America by the woodwasp Sirex noctilio has resulted in competition with the ...
The final data chapter investigates a possible immune mechanism for the noted success of the invasion into North America from Europe and Northern Africa. My co-author and I compared multiple measures of immune function between and its sympatric, native congener . Surprisingly, had lower immune ...
