Studies of reproductive biology and resources availability to floral visitors by plant species are important to understand the plant-pollinator interactions that drive species adaptation. We aim to understand the relationship between reprod...
The long proboscis of the aphid Stomaphis yanonis (Aphididae Lachninae) is advantageous for avoiding predation by tending ants [0.03%]
长吻蚜虫Stomaphis yanonis（蚜科）的长口器有助于躲避照料蚂蚁的捕食
