When a little is enough: cocoon web of Kapogea cyrtophoroides (Araneae: Araneidae) induced by Hymenoepimecis heidyae (Ichneumonidae: Pimplinae)
(2018)
The final instar larvae of the koinobiont ectoparasitoids in the Polysphincta group of genera induce their host spiders to construct webs that protect the wasp pupa during its development. It has been hypothesized that ...
Messua sp. (Salticidae), the host spider of the polysphinctine Inbioia pivai (Ichneumonidae: Pimplinae)
(2019)
The koinobiont ectoparasitoids of spiders in the Polysphincta genus group are divided into two well-supported clades. Species in one clade parasitize spiders in the higher araneoid group, and the behaviour of these ...
Elevational and seasonal patterns of plant pollinator networks in two highland tropical ecosystems in Costa Rica
(2024-01-11)
Many plant species in high montane ecosystems rely on animal pollination for sexual repro- duction, however, our understanding of plant-pollinator interactions in tropical montane hab- itats is still limited. We compared ...
The forgotten habitats in conservation: early successional vegetation
(2019)
Conservation efforts in terrestrial environments have focused on preserving patches of natural
habitats and restoring disturbed habitats, with the main goal of transforming them into forests or habitats that resemble the ...
Blooming plant species diversity patterns in two adjacent Costa Rican highland ecosystems
(2023-01-12)
The Costa Rican Paramo is a unique ecosystem with high levels of endemism that is geographically isolated from the Andean Paramos. Paramo ecosystems occur above Montane Forests, below the permanent snow level, and their ...
Incidence of parasitoids and predators on eggs of seven species of Therididae (Araneae)
(2012)
Although many characteristics of the egg sacs of spiders likely evolved to reduce the effect of parasites and predators that attack their eggs, many parasite and predator insects have become specialized on spider eggs. ...
Cocoon web induced by Eruga telljohanni (Ichneumonidae: Pimplinae) in Leucauge sp. (Tetragnathidae)
(2017)
The hosts and cocoon webs of koinobiont-ectoparasitic wasps in the genus Eruga Townes in Townes & Townes, 1960 are known for only two species. We describe here the host spider and cocoon web of a third Eruga species: E. ...
