Abstract Bactrocera correcta (Diptera: Tephritidae), as known as invasive pest guava fruit fly,
can attack numerous host plants including many horticultural crops and cause huge …

Disturbance is a key factor shaping ecological communities, but little is understood about
how the effects of disturbance processes accumulate over time. When disturbance regimes …

Competition between species arises when two or more species share at least some of the
same limited resources. It is likely to affect all species, as well as many higher-level aspects …

Evolution on a time scale similar to ecological dynamics has been increasingly recognized
for the last three decades. Selection mediated by ecological interactions can change …

The number of invaders and the timing of invasion are recognized as key determinants of
successful invasions. Despite the recognized importance of “propagule pressure,” invasion …

Parasite–host interactions can drive periodic population dynamics when parasites
overexploit host populations. The timing of host seasonal activity, or host phenology …

Propagule pressure is often considered the most consistent predictor of the success of
founding populations. This relationship could be mediated by the composition of the …

A recent study by Korolev et al.[Nat. Rev. Cancer, 14: 371–379, 2014] evidences that the
Allee effect—in its strong form, the requirement of a minimum density for cell growth—is …

We review and synthesize evidence from the fields of ecology, evolutionary biology and
population genetics to investigate how the presence of abiotic stress can affect the feedback …

Traditionally ecologists have tended to consider species as the smallest unit for
understanding community dynamics. However, recent studies demonstrated that there is …
