Summer Rainfall Drives Adaptation with Gene Flow in a Widespread Butterfly
ABSTRACT Understanding how environmental variation interacts with gene flow to shape population genomic patterns is a central goal in evolutionary biology. We investigated how geographic and environmental differences impact genetic variation in the clouded sulfur butterfly (Colias philodice eriphyle) by conducting whole‐genome resequencing across ...

Arboviral diseases spread by Culicoides biting midges have been introduced into Europe by unknown means. A possible route is the carriage of midges with cut flowers shipped to flower markets. We sampled Culicoides in and around a cut flower farm in Kenya; midges were caught in the vicinity and a greenhouse, but not where flowers are processed.

Three Decades of China's Bt Cotton: Achievements and Insights
ABSTRACT Cotton is a vital natural fibre crop with significant economic value worldwide. In response to the threat of cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera), the China government initiated a research project in 1992 to develop transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton.

The present research aimed to study the efficiency of the indigenous generalist predator, Chrysoperla carnea, for the management of the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, infesting cucumber, Cucumis sativus plants in greenhouses. The most effective predator stage was determined by placing egg cards and releasing different larval instars (1 ...

Due to a great dispersal ability and small size, insects are probably among the first island colonisers. Chrysoperla carnea sensu lato was for long considered the sole member of the Chrysopidae family in the Azores (Portugal) since it has been regarded as a complex of sibling species in Europe and North America.
