Data from: Foraging strategy predicts foraging economy in a facultative secondary nectar robber

In mutualistic interactions, the decision whether to cooperate or cheat depends on the relative costs and benefits of each strategy. In pollination mutualisms, secondary nectar robbing is a facultative behavior employed by a diverse array of nectar-feeding organisms, and is thought to be a form of c

Mud puddling by butterflies is not a simple matter

Two sets of hypotheses based on sodium limitation have been proposed to explain the sexual dimorphism in puddling hchaviour, which suggested that males have a greater need for sodium in neuroniuscular activity because they spend a larger time in flight than females.

Colorado Potato Beetle Control, Johnston County, 1988

Abstract 'Atlantic' potatoes were planted 14 Apr, near Benson, NC. Single row plots, 10 ft long on 42 inch centers were replicated 4 times in a randomized complete block design. Alleys of 5 ft separated replicates. Treatments were applied using a CO2 pressurized sprayer with a single hollow cone noz

Genetic differentiation of populations of Weidemeyer’s admiral butterfly.

I assessed the genetic differentiation of populations of Weidemeyer's admiral butterfly (Limenitis weidemeyerii) in central and eastern Colorado by using starch-gel electrophoresis. Wright's F-statistics indicated that there was significant differentiation, both within and between years, among the s

Intra- and interspecific competition for mutalists: ants as a limited and limiting resource for aphids

It is shown that ants are a Limited and Limiting resource for a tended aphid species and that fireweed aphids compete with intra-and interspecific aphid neighbors for the services of ant mutualists.

Complex population differentiation in checkerspot butterflies (<i>Euphydryas</i> spp.)

Gel electrophoresis was used to obtain an estimate of the genetic similarity among populations of Euphydryas anicia, Euphydryas chalcedona, and Euphydryas colon in an effort to determine whether they should be considered separate species or arbitrary groupings of populations in a single polytypic sp

Distribution and species diversity of trichomycete gut fungi in aquatic insect larvae in two Rocky Mountain streams

At least 20 species of Trichomycetes (Zygomycotina) were dissected from the hindguts and peritrophic membranes of larval Diptera (Simuliidae, Chironomidae), Ephemeroptera, and Plecoptera in two high-altitude streams, and the trichomycete species diversity in the two streams was compared.

Rates of nectar feeding in butterflies: effects of sex, size, age, and sugar concentration

Rates of ingestion of sucrose varied with sucrose concentration and butterfly sex, age and size for Speyeria mormonia Edwards (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae). Peak rates of ingestion occurred between sucrose concentrations of 30% and 40%, as predicted by previous theory. Males fed at a faster rate than d
