Functional structure of the natural enemy community of the fall armyworm, Spodo...
Wyckhuys, Kris A.G.; Akutse, Komivi S.; Amalin, Divina M.; Araj, Salah-Eddin; Barrera, Gloria; Joy B. Beltran, Marie; Ben Fekih, IbtissemEcosystem functions such as biological pest control are mediated by the richness and abundance of service providers i.e., biological control agents (BCAs), relative contributions of individual taxa and community structure. This is especially relevant in the native range of agricultural herbivores, where a speciose community of co-evolved BCAs can prevent them from attaining pest status. Here, we use a powerful ...
Phylogenetic classification of the world's tropical forests
Slik, J. W.Ferry; Franklin, Janet; Arroyo-Rodríguez, Víctor; Field, Richard; Aguilar, Salomón; Aguirre, Nikolay; Ahumada, Jorge A.; Aiba, ShinichiroKnowledge about the biogeographic affinities of the world's tropical forests helps to better understand regional differences in forest structure, diversity, composition, and dynamics. Such understanding will enable anticipation of region-specific responses to global environmental change. Modern phylogenies, in combination with broad coverage of species inventory data, now allow for global biogeographic analyses...
