Dermaptera - Science topic

BACKGROUND Environmentally‐friendly crop protection practices are needed to enhance the sustainability of current agricultural systems. This is crucial in orchards which are extensively treated to impair various pests, at the expense of natural enemies. However, the effect of a shift towards softer pest management on the beneficial arthropod commun...

The diversity and abundance of soil macrofauna under different plant covers can indicate the health and fertility of the soil because they are considered a rich source for improving the nutritive status of the soil through decomposition and scavenging of the organic material in the soil. The study was conducted to deal with the exploration of soil...

Since the description of Eulithinus analis (Rambur, 1838) the taxonomic position of this Sierra Nevada endemic earwig has been controversial. It has been subdivided in different taxa, assigned to various genera or transferred to different subfamilies. With the aim of clarifying its systematics, we performed a mitochondrial phylogeographic analysis...

Między ważkami (Odonata) i innymi bezkręgowcami występują głównie oddziaływania antagonistyczne. Jest to przede wszystkim obustronne drapieżnictwo, ale także konkurencja o pokarm oraz pasożytnictwo innych bezkręgowców na ważkach. Jednakże obecne są także oddziaływania nieantagonistyczne, do których należy zaliczyć wykorzystywanie wylinek ważek prze...

Premise Leafless, heterotrophic plants are prime examples of organismal modification, the genomic consequences of which have received considerable interest. In particular, plastid genomes (plastomes) are being sequenced at a high rate, allowing continual refinement of conceptual models of reductive evolution in heterotrophs. Yet, numerous sampling...

Many animals take advantage of the shaded, humid, and protected environments in subcortical spaces, i.e., thin spaces under the loosened bark of dead trees. Permanent inhabitants of subcortical spaces often show specialized morphologies, such as a miniaturized or dorsoventrally flattened body. However, the evolutionary consequences of these special...
