Global change analyses usually consider biodiversity as a global asset that needs to be
preserved. Biodiversity is frequently analysed mainly as a response variable affected by …

The majority of terrestrial biomass is wood, but the elemental composition of its potential
consumers, xylophages, differs hugely from that of wood. This causes a severe nutritional …

Using samples from eastern China (c. 25–41° N and 99–123° E) and from a common
garden experiment, we investigate how Mg concentration varies with climate across multiple …

Across resource quality gradients, primary consumers must regulate homeostasis and
release of nutrients to optimize growth and fitness. Based primarily on internal body …

Simple Summary Curculio davidi (Curculionidae, Coleoptera) is distributed throughout all
chestnut-producing regions in China. Its hosts include almost all species of the genus …

To understand how different trophic organisms in a parasite food chain adapt to the
differences in soil nutrient conditions, we investigated stoichiometric variation and …

Curculio davidi is a destructive weevil that threatens chestnut cultivation. Its rapid
identification and genetic source determination, such as using mitochondrial sequences …

To date, the field of ecological stoichiometry has focused mainly on macro-elements in
aquatic systems. We investigated terrestrial systems and included micro-elements in the …

Body size can be an important factor controlling consumer stoichiometry. In holometabolous
insects, body size is typically associated with nutrient storage. Consumer stoichiometry is …

Curculio davidi (Fairmaire) is found in all chestnut producing regions of the world and is a
major fruit pest of chestnuts. In this work, the MaxEnt software was adopted to simulate the …
