Location The modern (early 21st century) range of the lion extends from southern Africa to the western Indian Subcontinent, yet through the... -

Rewiring of interactions in a changing environment: nettle-feeding butterflies and their parasitoids
Climate and land use change can alter the incidence and strength of biotic interactions, with important effects on the distribution, abundance and function of species. To assess the importance of these effects and their dynamics, studies quantifying how biotic interactions change in space and time are needed. We studied interactions...Audusseau, Hélène ; Ryrholm, Nils ; Stefanescu, Constanti ; Tharel, Suzanne ; Jansson, Camilla …

New linguliformean brachiopods from the lower Tremadocian (Ordovician) of the Brabant Massif, Belgium, with comments on contemporaneous faunas from the Stavelot-Venn Massif
Lower Ordovician brachiopod macrofaunas in Belgium (Avalonia) are seldom collected and studied due to the poor preservation of material. Here we describe a new fauna of linguliformean brachiopods from the Chevlipont Formation (lower Tremadocian) in the Brabant Massif. The fauna is of low diversity (at least three species belonging to...Candela, Yves ; Marion, Jean-Marc ; Servais, Thomas ; Wang, Wenhui ; Wolvers, Mark …

Two males, one female: triplet-style mating behaviour in the Darwin wasp Xorides ater (Gravenhorst, 1829) (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Xoridinae) in the Swiss Alps
The Darwin wasp Xorides ater is a solitary idiobiont ectoparasitoid of wood-boring beetle larvae. It occurs across the Palaearctic, and in Switzerland seems to be restricted to areas above 980 m altitude. Very little is known about its biology and behaviour. We here report three separate instances of a female...Shaw, Mark R ; Giannotta, Madalene ; Herrera-Flórez, Andrés F ; Klopfstein, Seraina

On the synonymy of Pseudagrion bidentatum Morton, 1907, with P. hypermelas Selys, 1876
No new information on Pseudagrion bidentatum has been published since its original description by Morton in 1907 based on a single male from western India. Although this species was already regarded as a synonym of either P. hypermelas Selys, 1876, or P. spencei Fraser, 1922, by Fraser in 1933 it...Kalkman, Vincent J ; Blagoderov, Vladimir
