Xylem-Tapping Mistletoes: Water or Nutrient Parasites?
Most mistletoes parasitize higher plants by tapping the xylem (a conduction tissue) of their hosts. Field observations of diurnal gas exchange parameters and carbon isotope rati...
The Roles of Ecological and Evolutionary Influences in Providing Structure to Parasite Species Assemblages
Parasite species assemblages currently are thought to range from isolationist to interactive, their dynamic properties being related to the number of species and types of hosts ...
Effects of Temperature and Host Density on the Rate of Increase of an Insect Parasite
1. The searching of the chalcid parasite Dahlbominus fuscipennis (Zett.) for its host Neodiprion sertifer (Geoff.) was examined in the laboratory at temperatures of 16, 20, and ...
Evolution of Suites of Traits in Response to Environmental Stress
Traits that enable plants to exploit low-resource environments (e.g., slow tissue turnover, low transpiration rate, high root: shoot ratio, and high concentrations of plant defe...
The population dynamics of microparasites and their invertebrate hosts
We show how directly transmitted microparasites, broadly defined to include viruses, bacteria, protozoans and fungi, may regulate natural populations of invertebrate hosts. The ...
