A new mygalomorph fuzhouensis Zhou, sp. nov., is described Fujian Province, Detailed...

Dominant species significantly affect interspecific relationships, community structure, and ecosystem function. In the field, dominant are often identified by their high importance values. Selective foraging on is a common phenomenon in ecology. Our hypothesis that plant groups with values more susceptible to leaf-mining insects at regional level. Here, we used Saihanwula National Nature Reserve as case study examine presence-absence patterns of different plants forest-grassland ecotone...

Abstract The present study is the first to consider human and nonhuman consumers together reveal several general patterns of plant utilization. We provide evidence that at a global scale, apparency phylogenetic isolation can be important predictors utilization consumer diversity. Using number species or genera distribution area each family as island “area” minimum distance common families “distance”, we fitted presence–area relationships presence–distance with binomial GLM (generalized...

We provide the first report of Tischeriidae on Ulmaceae, a novel host-plant family, and describe Tischeria ulmella Xu Dai, sp. nov., new species discovered in Yellow River Scenic Area Zhengzhou (Henan Province, China), feeding Ulmus pumila L. also redescription Quercus-feeding naraensis Sato China for time. Both are illustrated with photographs adults, male female genitalia, leaf mines.

The circular distributions of plant modulars (branches, leaves) and endophagous herbivory (mines, galls) were investigated within the crowns four dominant Fagaceae trees in a subtropical evergreen broadleaf forest at Jiulianshan National Nature Reserve, Jiangxi, China. hypothesis is that more should occur crown area perpendicular to roads. Circular statistical techniques used verify new patterns impact roads on plants insects. results confirmed roadside light environments had larger impacts...

The complete circular mitochondrial genome of Agonita chinensis was 16,395 bp in length, which contained two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNAs, 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) and one non-coding AT-rich region with the length 2001 bp. All tRNA displayed a typical clover-leaf structure, exception tRNASer (TCT). Twelve PCGs were initiated by ATN codons, except that nad1 started TTG. Only four used stop codon 'TAA' 'TGA', while nine terminated incomplete codons (TA or T). Phylogenetic...

The effects of a forest road on Castanopsis carlesii (Hemsley) Hayata (Fagales: Fagaceae) seedlings and their leaf herbivory were investigated in subtropical at Jiulianshan National Nature Reserve, Jiangxi, China. A total 1124 seedlings, 33949 leaves, 468 mines, 205 galls found. Generally, individual numbers, tree heights, numbers C. became lower with increasing distances from the road. These results might indicate that old fewer survival rate was interiors. Leaf miners preferred close to...

The complete circular mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Rhadinosa nigrocyanea was 17,965 bp in length, which contained 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNAs, 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) and 1 non-coding AT-rich region with the length 3002 bp. All tRNA displayed a typical clover-leaf structure, exception tRNASer (TCT). 12 PCGs were initiated by ATN codons, except for ND1 started TTG. Only six used stop codon 'TAA' 'TGA', while seven terminated incomplete codons (TA or T). Phylogenetic...

Prionispa champaka is a leaf-mining species which feeds on Pollia spp. and widely distributes in southern China. The complete mitogenomic sequence of P. (Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae) was obtained annotated, with length 20,494 bp. It longer than those other Chrysomelid (not including Bruchinae) because its much non-coding sequences. Gene arrangement content identical to the most common type insects, it also biased toward AT (accounting for 78.4%). Phylogenetic analysis based mitochondrial PCGs...
