A genomics-informed, SNP association study reveals FBLN1 and FABP4 as contributing to resistance to fleece rot in Australian Merino sheep

BMC Veterinary Research, 2010
Background Fleece rot (FR) and body-strike of Merino sheep by the sheep blowfly Lucilia cuprina are major problems for the Australian wool industry, causing significant losses as a result of increased management costs coupled with reduced wool ...

The structure of feeding behavior in a phytophagous insect (Hylobius abietis) [PDF]

, 2015
Analysis of the feeding behavior of animals using such a high temporal resolution that meals can be defined may improve our understanding of the mechanisms regulating feeding. Meals can be distinguished in an ethologically meaningful manner by using the ‘

Specific Gene Disruption in the Major Livestock Pests Cochliomyia hominivorax and Lucilia cuprina Using CRISPR/Cas9

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2019
Cochliomyia hominivorax and Lucilia cuprina are major pests of livestock. Their larvae infest warm-blooded vertebrates and feed on host’s tissues, resulting in severe industry losses.

Inbreeding in the coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei (Coleoptera : Scolytidae) estimated from endosulfan resistance phenotype frequencies [PDF]

, 1996
An estimate of the inbreeding coefficient, Fis, of the coffee berry borer, #Hypothenemus hampei$ Ferrari, was calculated from genotype frequencies of endosulfan resistance in beetles collected from berries in 41 fields on the East Coast of New Caledonia.

The effect of bacterially-dense environments on the development and immune defences of the blowfly Lucilia sericata [PDF]

, 2010
Competitive interactions between insects and microbes and the associated cost of development in bacterially-dense environments are investigated using the blowfly Lucilia sericata (Meigen) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) as a model.

Silver gull carcasses host unique carrion insect communities on a nearshore island

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2025.
Abstract Island ecosystems offer unique opportunities to study the dynamics of species that rely on ephemeral resources such as carrion. This study investigated the necrophagous insect communities associated with carrion of silver gulls (Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae) on a small nearshore island off the east coast of Australia, to assess how ...

Compensatory ingestion upon dietary restriction in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]

, 2005
Dietary restriction extends the lifespan of numerous, evolutionarily diverse species. In D. melanogaster, a prominent model for research on the interaction between nutrition and longevity, dietary restriction is typically based on medium dilution, with ...
