Tsunami Impacts on Biodiversity of Seagrass Communities in the Andaman Sea, Thailand: (2) Abundance and Diversity of Benthic Animals (2007)

WHANPETCH, NAPAKHWAN, NAKAOKA, MASAHIRO, MUKAI, HIROSHI, SUZUKI, TAKAO, NOJIMA, SATOSHI, KAWAI, TAKASHI, ...

Seagrass beds support highly productive and diverse animal communities. Extreme physical disturbances such as tsunamis are expected to affect the abundance and diversity of both the seagrass and the...

Seed coat sculpturing in Halophila (2006)

Japar Sidik, Bujang, Muta Harah, Zakaria, Suzalina Akma, Awing, Nojima, Satoshi, Ogawa, Hisao

This study furnishes information on external morphology of the seed coats of selected Halophila. Fruiting plants of Halophila beccarii, H. ovalis, H. decipiens, Halophila sp. were collected from...

Method in sex discrimination in the mango pulp weevil Sternochetus frigidus (Fabr.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) (2002)

Satoshi Nojima, Jose R. Medina, Kanju Ohsawa

We describe a simple method for sexing Sternochetus frigidus (Fabr.) using a stereomicroscope to view the dorsum of the terminal abdominal segment. In the male, clipped wings exposed distinctly...

Fruit odor discrimination and sympatric host race formation in Rhagoletis

Linn, Charles, Feder, Jeffrey L., Nojima, Satoshi, Dambroski, Hattie R., Berlocher, Stewart H., Roelofs, Wendell

Rhagoletis pomonella is a model for incipient sympatric speciation (divergence without geographic isolation) by host-plant shifts. Here, we show that historically derived apple- and ancestral...

Postzygotic isolating factor in sympatric speciation in Rhagoletis flies: Reduced response of hybrids to parental host-fruit odors

Linn, Charles E., Dambroski, Hattie R., Feder, Jeffrey L., Berlocher, Stewart H., Nojima, Satoshi, Roelofs, Wendell L.

Rhagoletis pomonella is a model for sympatric speciation (divergence without geographic isolation) by means of host-plant shifts. Many Rhagoletis species are known to use fruit odor as a key...

Infection with the insect virus Hz-2v alters mating behavior and pheromone production in female Helicoverpa zea moths

Burand, John P., Tan, Weijia, Kim, Woojin, Nojima, Satoshi, Roelofs, Wendell

The effect of Hz-2V virus infection on the reproductive physiology and behavior of infected Helicoverpa zea female moths was examined. In the absence of males, infected females exhibited calling...

Seed odor mediates an obligate ant–plant mutualism in Amazonian rainforests

Youngsteadt, Elsa, Nojima, Satoshi, Häberlein, Christopher, Schulz, Stefan, Schal, Coby

Seed dispersal mutualisms are essential for the survival of diverse plant species and communities worldwide. Among invertebrates, only ants have a major role in seed dispersal, and thousands of plant...

Identification of bacteria and bacteria-associated chemical cues that mediate oviposition site preferences by Aedes aegypti

Ponnusamy, Loganathan, Xu, Ning, Nojima, Satoshi, Wesson, Dawn M., Schal, Coby, Apperson, Charles S.

The yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti, the global vector of dengue and yellow fever, is inexorably linked to water-filled human-made containers for egg laying and production of progeny....
