While ecological interactions have been identified as determinant for biological control
efficiency, the role of evolution remains largely underestimated in biological control …

BACKGROUND Wolbachia are widespread intracellular bacteria in insects that often have
high rates of spread due to their impact on insect reproduction. These bacteria may also …

Endosymbiotic reproductive manipulators are widely studied as sources of postzygotic
isolation in arthropods, but their effect on prezygotic isolation between genetically …

Reproduction is generally more sensitive to high temperatures than survival and arguably a
better predictor of the response of populations to climate change than survival estimates …

Multiple cues are often used for mate choice in complex environments, potentially entailing
mismatches in the information conveyed by different sources. We address the …

Current pest management relies extensively on pesticide application worldwide, despite the
frequent rise of pesticide resistance in crop pests. This is particularly worrisome because …

Accumulation of heavy metals by plants can serve as a defence against herbivory.
Herbivores, in turn, may avoid feeding on contaminated tissues. Such avoidance, however …

A compreensão do processo contínuo da especiação tem uma relevância fundamental para
a biologia da conservação, já que o grau de isolamento entre espécies ou populações …
