A process of adaptive divergence for tolerance to high temperatures was identified using a rare model system, consisting two sympatric populations Lepidoptera (Thaumetopoea pityocampa) with different life cycle timings, 'mutant' population summer larval development, Leiria SP, and the founder natural population, having winter WP. third, allopatric (Bordeaux WP) also studied. First second instar larvae were experimentally exposed daily-cycles heat treatment reaching maximum values 36, 38, 40...
Abstract Background Climate change may strongly influence soil erosion risk, namely through variations in the precipitation pattern. Forests contribute to mitigate impacts of climate on and forest managers are thus challenged by need define strategies that protect while addressing demand for other ecosystem services. Our emphasis is development an approach assess impact silvicultural practices management models risks under change. Specifically, we consider annual variation cover-management...

Abstract Specialization is an important attribute of a biological control agent. The maritime pine bast scale, Matsucoccus feytaudi Ducasse (Hemiptera Matsucoccidae), invasive species in Southeast France and the North Italy. Iberorhyzobius rondensis Eizaguirre (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), recently described ladybird species. Both adults larvae are predaceous, feeding on egg masses M. , strongly attracted to feytaudi’ s sex pheromone. To evaluate potential I. as biocontrol agent we studied...

In agroecosystems, the evaluation of biodiversity is extremely important given its relation with their sustainability, however it a difficult and expensive task. The use higher taxa surrogacy has been proposed as an effective less way to assess biodiversity, but still being used mainly in natural, more stable, ecosystems. this study, we tested approach for spiders pear orchards, under different production systems, Oeste region Portugal. Spiders were chosen case since they are predators,...
