Community structure of canopy arthropods associated to Quercus crassifolia x Quercus crassipes complex

Article Abstract:

Quercus crassifolia and Quercus crassipes are dominant species in temperate forests of central Mexico and hybridize between each other when they occur in sympatry. It is suggested that hybrid oaks act as a center of biodiversity by accumulating arthropods of both parental and different species including a considerable number of rare species.

Preferences, patterns and consequences of branch removal on the dioecious tropical tree Spondias purpurea (Anacardiaceae) by the insect borer Oncideres albomarginata chamela (Cerambycidae)

Article Abstract:

Preferences of branch removal by the insect borer Oncideres albomarginata chamela in the tropical dioecious tree Spondias purpurea are evaluated. Removed branches regenerated a year after the insect borer attacked them and branch removal affected the probability of producing fertile branches.
