Introduction: A changing environment can select on life-history traits and trade-offs in a myriad of ways. For example, global warming may shift phenology and thus the availability of host-plants. This may alter selection...
Herbivory by Atta vollenweideri: Reviewing the significance of grass-cutting ants as a pest of livestock [0.03%]
切叶蚁作为家畜害虫的割草行为的重要性再探讨
