The use of more than one species to manage a single insect pest is a common practice among biological control programs.However, the beneficial effects of natural enemies are not always additive, which in many cases may be attributed to interspecific interactions such as intraguild predation (IGP).Herein, we investigated the potential IGP between tw
Ultrasound pretreatment as an alternative to improve essential oils extraction
ABSTRACT: Essential oils are substances originated Western Clothing from plants in general.These compounds are well known to have a high biological activity, specially the antioxidant and antimicrobial.Several extraction techniques are employed to obtain these substances.However, the majority of these techniques require a long extraction time.In th
Large-scale patterns of genetic variation in a female-biased dispersing passerine: the importance of sex-based analyses.
Dispersal affects the distribution, dynamics and genetic structure of natural populations, and can be significantly different between sexes.However, literature records dealing with the dispersal of migratory birds are scarce, as migratory behaviour can notably complicate the study of dispersal.We used the barn swallow Hirundo rustica as model taxon
