Risk Analysis, Volume 43, Issue 10, Page 1921-1932, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Genetically engineered gene drives (geGD) are potentially powerful tools for suppressing or even eradicating populations of pest insects. Before living geGD insects can be released into the environment, they must pass an environmental risk assessment to ensure that their release will not cause unacceptable harm to non‐targeted entities of the ...

Integrative Zoology, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 414-426, May 2023., 2023 Male but not female fleas demonstrated latitudinal gradient in body size. Appendage length was not associated with latitude. The degree of sexual size dimorphism decreased with a decrease in latitude. Abstract We tested for the effects of latitude and geographic range size (GRS) on body size, leg length, and sexual size dimorphism (SSD) across 103 ...

Visualizing septins in early Drosophila embryos [PDF]
Methods in Cell Biology, Elsevier, 2016, Septins, 136, pp.183, 2016 Functional studies in Drosophila have been key for establishing a role for the septin family of proteins in animal cell division and thus extending for the first time observations from the budding yeast to animal cells. Visualizing the distribution of specific septins in different Drosophila tissues and, in particular, in the Drosophila embryo ...

High frequency of horizontal transfer in Jockey families (LINE order) of drosophilids
Mobile DNA, 2019 Background The use of large-scale genomic analyses has resulted in an improvement of transposable element sampling and a significant increase in the number of reported HTT (horizontal transfer of transposable elements) events by expanding the sampling of
