While many studies have demonstrated the sensitivities of plants and of crop yield to a
changing climate, a major challenge for the agricultural research community is to relate …

Ecology letters (2011) 14: 914–921 Abstract The Arrhenius equation has emerged as the
favoured model for describing the temperature dependence of consumption in predator …

Aphidius colemani Viereck (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a solitary endoparasitoid used for
biological control of many economically important pest aphids. Given its widespread use, a …

The overuse of pesticides has shown their malpractices. Novel and sustainable formulations
have consequently attracted abundant attention but still appear to have drawbacks. Here …

Trophic interactions govern biomass fluxes in ecosystems, and stability in food webs.
Knowledge of how trophic interaction strengths are affected by differences among habitats is …

Temperature is one of the most important environmental parameters influencing all the
biological processes and functions of poikilothermic organisms. Although extensive …

The potential for climate change and temperature shifts to affect community stability remains
relatively unknown. One mechanism by which temperature may affect stability is by altering …

Understanding how temperature variation influences the negative (eg self‐limitation) and
positive (eg saturating functional responses) feedback processes that characterize …

Invasive alien species continue to arrive in new locations with no abatement in rate, and
thus greater predictive powers surrounding their ecological impacts are required. In …

An annotated list of Braconidae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonoidea) for all species recorded
from the territory of Iran during more than a hundred years (1901–2016) of research is given …
