Clearing the Noise: Seasonal Dynamics of Endophytic Bacteria in Fagus sylvatica Leaves Revealed by Application of PNA Clamps. [PDF]
Physiol PlantABSTRACT The characterization of the seasonal dynamics of endophytic bacteria in beech leaves can be hindered by co‐amplification of chloroplast and mitochondrial plant DNA. This study applies established peptide nucleic acid (PNA) clamps to suppress host‐derived amplification while resolving bacterial succession across the vegetative season ...

Phylogenomics Resolves the Evolution of Sternorrhyncha (Insecta: Hemiptera). [PDF]
Ecol EvolPhylogeny of Sternorrhyncha based on Matrix2 under PMSF (LG+C60+F+R) model. ABSTRACT Sternorrhyncha, one of the four major suborders of Hemiptera, represents a phytophagous insect clade comprising nearly 18,000 described species. While recent phylogenomic studies have made significant efforts to elucidate the internal phylogenetic relationships within ...

Modelling response of Delottococcus aberiae (De lotto) male captures to pheromone emission rates. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciUsing increasing doses of the sex pheromone of D. aberiae, our model revealed that the emission levels to maximize the captures of males ranges from 0.4 to 40 μg/day. Abstract BACKGROUND An invasive mealybug from South Africa identified as Delottococcus aberiae (De Lotto) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) is causing severe distortions and fruit size ...
