Abstract: Natural enemies are known to modify competitive hierarchies among terrestrial plants. Here we examine whether the same applies to freshwater systems. Lagarosiphon major (Hydrocharitaceae) is a submerged aquatic macrophyte, indigenous to South Africa. Outside its… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Parasitism represents an important ecosystem service, reducing pest abundance. Since most hosts of parasitoids are herbivores, plant diversity likely shapes both herbivore and parasitoid assemblages. While restoration efforts are being adopted worldwide, mitigating habitat… read more here.
