no blokes Is Essential for Male Viability and X Chromosome Gene Expression in the Australian Sheep Blowfly [PDF]
Current Biology, 2018 It has been hypothesized that the Drosophila 4th chromosome is derived from an ancient X chromosome [1]. In the Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina, the heterochromatic X chromosome contains few active genes and orthologs of Drosophila X-linked genes are autosomal. Of 8 X-linked genes identified previously in L.

Role of a gamma-aminobutryic acid (GABA) receptor mutation in the evolution and spread of Diabrotica virgifera virgifera resistance to cyclodiene insecticides [PDF]
, 2013 The western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera, is a damaging pest of cultivated corn that was controlled by applications of cyclodiene insecticides from the late 1940s until resistance evolved ∼10 years later. Range expansion from the western

Genotype, environment and the asymmetry phenotype. Dieldrin-resistance in Lucilia cuprina (the Australian sheep blowfly) [PDF]
Heredity, 1995 Dieldrin-resistant (Rdl/Rdl and Rdl/+) and susceptible (+/+) phenotypes of Lucilia cuprina were scored for departures from bilateral symmetry for bristle characters after development at different temperatures, larval densities or concentrations of dieldrin.

Stochastic Nicholson's blowflies delay differential equation with regime switching
, 2019 In this paper, we investigate the global existence of almost surely positive solution to a stochastic Nicholson's blowflies delay differential equation with regime switching, and give the estimation of the path. The results presented in this paper extend

MCE activities and malathion resistances in field populations of the Australian sheep blowfly (Lucilia cuprina) [PDF]
Heredity, 2000 Malathion resistance has been shown to be the result of a single point mutation in the LcalphaE7 gene in four independently isolated chromosomes of Lucilia cuprina. The resultant amino acid substitution specifies high malathion carboxylesterase (MCE) activity.

The relative contribution of target-site mutations in complex acaricide resistant phenotypes as assessed by marker assisted backcrossing in Tetranychus urticae [PDF]
, 2017 The mechanisms underlying insecticide and acaricide resistance in insects and mites are often complex, including additive effects of target-site insensitivity, increased metabolism and transport.

Positive periodic solutions generated by impulses for the delay Nicholson's blowflies model [PDF]
, 2016 In this paper, by using Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem, we study the existence and multiplicity of positive periodic solutions for the delay Nicholson's blowflies model with impulsive effects.
