In order to develop integrated management approaches for Pectinophora gossypiella, basic
studies are crucial. The two-sex life table is the most important tool for describing the fitness …

Background Salinity, exacerbated by rising sea levels, is a critical environmental cue
affecting freshwater ecosystems. Predicting ecosystem structure in response to such …

The “oviposition preference-offspring performance” hypothesis proposes that females lay
their eggs in habitats that maximize the fitness of their offspring. The aim of this study was to …

Microbes are ubiquitous and play important ecological roles. While research has largely
focused on arthropods and microbes separately, less attention has been given to their …

(1) Background: Condition-specific competition, when the outcome of competition varies with
abiotic conditions, can facilitate species coexistence in spatially or temporally variable …

Ephemeral pools provide habitat to a wide diversity of aquatic insects which colonize pools
to establish new populations in higher quality habitats. These pools rely on nutrient inputs …

Simple Summary Condition-specific competition is when the outcome of competition varies
with environmental conditions. Tradeoffs between species' competitive abilities and …

Freshwater rock pools can serve as habitat for aquatic insects. Flash-flooding can have
profound effects on insect communities in streams and rivers, but these effects have not …

In the Linking oviposition to life history and survival subsection of the Materials and methods,
the sixth sentence of the second paragraph should read: We hypothesized three sets of …
