Pitardia resurrected: A new member of subtribe Menthinae (Lamiaceae)

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite tremendous progress towards clarifying phylogenetic relationships within the mint family (Lamiaceae), uncertainty remains regarding relationships among some major clades as well as the proper placement of some genera. While researching the genus Nepeta, a species from northeastern Morocco, N.

Effect of the essential volatile oils isolated from Thymbra capitata (L.) Cav. on olive and sunflower oils

Grasas y Aceites, 2003
The chemical composition of the volatile constituents of the oils isolated from different parts of Thymbra capitata collected at different developmental stages were analysed by GC and GC/MS. The antioxidant ability of the oils isolated from T.

Exploring marking methods for the predatory hoverfly Sphaerophoria rueppellii (Diptera: Syrphidae)

Insect Science, EarlyView.
As important pollinators and predators of aphids, hoverflies play an important role in ecosystems. This study focuses on identifying the best marking technique for the model species Sphaerophoria rueppellii that can be used to track hoverfly feeding and oviposition sites, evaluating three methods: rubidium (RbCl), fluorescein, and fluorescent dusts ...

Rare coral under the genomic microscope: timing and relationships among Hawaiian Montipora [PDF]

, 2019
Background Evolutionary patterns of scleractinian (stony) corals are difficult to infer given the existence of few diagnostic characters and pervasive phenotypic plasticity.

The transformer gene controls sexual development in Drosophila suzukii

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The transformer gene plays a key role in the genetic pathway for sexual development in Drosophila suzukii Abstract The genetic network of sex determination in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster was investigated in great detail. Such knowledge not only advances our understanding of the evolution and regulation of sexual dimorphism in insects ...

Population suppression of Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) on table grapes using toxic baits

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
To provide alternatives to the use of spraying synthetic insecticides in C. capitata management, was evaluated the effect of “attract and kill” toxic baits on population suppression of C. capitata in three commercial areas producing table grapes.

Performance of augmentorium as a sanitation technique against fruit flies (Diptera: tephritidae) in Reunion Island [PDF]

, 2010
Background. Tephritid fruit flies cause severe damage to fruit and vegetable crops in Reunion Island. Instead of the curative approach to reduce existing populations, the first step proposed for their management is sanitation.

Genetic engineering for SIT application: a fruit fly‐focused review

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Sterile insect technique (SIT) has become a key component of efficient pest control. Fruit fly pests from the Drosophilidae and Tephritidae families pose a substantial and overwhelmingly increasing threat to the agricultural industry, aggravated by climate change and globalization among other contributors.

Divergent evolutionary histories of DNA markers in a Hawaiian population of the coral Montipora capitata [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
We investigated intra- and inter-colony sequence variation in a population of the dominant Hawaiian coral Montipora capitata by analyzing marker gene and genomic data.

Variation in physiological host range in three strains of two species of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria [PDF]

, 2018
Knowledge of the host range of a biocontrol agent (BCA) is fundamental. Host range determines the BCA's economic potential, as well as the possible risk for non-target organisms. Entomopathogenic fungal strains belonging to the genus Beauveria are widely
