Niche occupancy of Jamaican bat caves: Diversity increases isotopic niche packing

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Tropical bat caves are home to hundreds of thousands of bats of multiple species. In Jamaica, we found that isotopic niche packing is the likely mechanism of coexistence at more diverse sites. Abstract There are over 1000 documented caves across Jamaica, many of them used by diverse communities of bats.

The hAT-family transposable element, hopper, from Bactrocera dorsalis is a functional vector for insect germline transformation

BMC Genetics, 2020
Background The hopper hAT-family transposable element isolated from the Oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis, is distantly related to both the Drosophila hobo element and the Activator element from maize.

Wood Thrush (Hylocichla mustelina) occupancy patterns reveal sensitivity to low precipitation on nonbreeding grounds in northern Costa Rica

Ibis, EarlyView.
Climatic change and anthropogenic disturbances are reshaping animal populations. Habitat loss and extreme climatic events are particularly strong drivers of declines in species that depend on forested areas. For migratory songbirds, climate and the persistence of suitable habitat over time are fundamental to sustaining populations annually.

Manipulating and Enhancing Citrus Fruit Resistance to the Caribbean Fruit Fly (Diptera: Tephritidae)

The Florida Entomologist, 1993
The natural resistance of citrus fruit to attack by the Caribbean fruit fly (caribfly) varies according to fruit senescence and cultivar. Lemons are virtually immune, oranges are highly resistant, and grapefruit are initially somewhat resistant, at least before becoming senescent.

The Meritorious ‘Other’: The Interconnection of Merit and Race in EU Migration and Asylum Law

JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Adopting a law‐in‐context approach, this article suggests that merit‐based migrant selection in the European Union (EU) is implicitly shaped by racial dynamics. With a focus on EU law and more specifically on cases from the Netherlands and Germany, it argues that the growing emphasis on merit enables a limited number of ‘racialised others’ to ...

Improving Decision‐Making in the Identification of Tephritidae Larvae at Import in the European Union and Key to Third Instar Larvae

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Tephritidae family, or true fruit flies, comprises approximately 250 species recognized as economically significant due to their capacity to infest commercial fruits. These pests pose serious threats to both food security and trade, and are considered quarantine pests in areas where they are not yet established. In the European Union (EU),
