The ecology of hyperparasitoids
Hyperparasitoids are some of the most diverse members of insect food webs. True
hyperparasitoids parasitize the larvae of other parasitoids, reaching these larvae with their …

Frontiers in metapopulation biology: the legacy of Ilkka Hanski
This review of metapopulation biology has a special focus on Professor Ilkka Hanski's (1953–
2016) research. Hanski made seminal contributions to both empirical and theoretical …

The plant as a habitat for entomophagous insects
Populations of herbivorous insects are naturally consumed by other predacious or predatory
insect species. These entomophagous insects are thus plant-dwelling organisms that use …

The microbiome of the Melitaea cinxia butterfly shows marked variation but is only little explained by the traits of the butterfly or its host plant
Understanding of the ecological factors that shape intraspecific variation of insect microbiota
in natural populations is relatively poor. In Lepidopteran caterpillars, microbiota is assumed …

Host‐plant availability drives the spatiotemporal dynamics of interacting metapopulations across a fragmented landscape
The dynamics of ecological communities depend partly on species interactions within and
among trophic levels. Experimental work has demonstrated the impact of species …

Inferring dispersal across a fragmented landscape using reconstructed families in the Glanville fritillary butterfly
Dispersal is important for determining both species ecological processes, such as
population viability, and its evolutionary processes, like gene flow and local adaptation. Yet …

Complex plant quality—microbiota–population interactions modulate the response of a specialist herbivore to the defence of its host plant
Many specialist herbivores have evolved strategies to cope with plant defences, with gut
microbiota potentially participating to such adaptations. In this study, we assessed whether …

Geographical variation in parasitoid communities and the cause of enemy-free space in a range-expanding myrmecophilous lycaenid butterfly
Y Nakabayashi, I Ohshima - Biological Journal of the Linnean …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
Range expansions of host species are likely to modify host–parasitoid interactions.
Observational studies have indicated that host species in recently colonized areas are less …

The gut bacterial community affects immunity but not metabolism in a specialist herbivorous butterfly
Plant tissues often lack essential nutritive elements and may contain a range of secondary
toxic compounds. As nutritional imbalance in food intake may affect the performances of …

In nature, any particular terrestrial habitat contains animal, plant, fungi, and microbe species
that exist together in both time and space. Many of these species will interact with each …
