EFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 12, December 2024.Abstract Five epidemiological aspects of ASF were evaluated using literature reviews, field studies, questionnaires and mathematical models. First, a literature review and a case–control study in commercial pig farms emphasised the importance of biosecurity and farming practices, including the spread of manure around farms and the use of bedding ...

Genes Involved in the Evolution of Herbivory by a Leaf-Mining, Drosophilid Fly [PDF]
, 2014 Herbivorous insects are among the most successful radiations of life. However, we know little about the processes underpinning the evolution of herbivory.

Reward prediction errors arising from switches between major and minor modes in music: An fMRI study [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Evidence has accumulated that prediction error processing plays a role in the enjoyment of music listening. The present study examined listeners' neural responses to the signed reward prediction errors (RPEs) arising from switches between major and minor modes in music. We manipulated the final chord of J. S.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.Land‐mark based geomorphometric wing analysis of Glossina morsitans populations in Zambia shows that this tsetse exhibit significant population‐level variation in fly size and wing shape suggesting high levels of population structuring. The main drivers of this structuring could be random genetic drift and local adaptation to environmental conditions ...

Evolution of the sugar receptors in insects
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009 Background Perception of sugars is an invaluable ability for insects which often derive quickly accessible energy from these molecules. A distinctive subfamily of eight proteins within the gustatory receptor (Gr) family has been identified as sugar ...

Revisiting the ecology and evolution of burying beetle behavior (Staphylinidae: Silphinae)
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2024.Burying beetles of the genus Nicrophorus are becoming a model system for the evolution of parental care. Investigating fundamental processes in biology requires the ability to ground broad questions in species‐specific natural history. Here, we leverage a developing community of researchers who have contributed to a detailed knowledge of burying ...

First record of Atherigona orientalis Schiner, 1868 (Diptera: Muscidae) in France
EPPO Bulletin, Volume 54, Issue 2, Page 230-235, August 2024.Abstract The first record of the pepper fruit fly, Atherigona orientalis Schiner, 1868, in mainland France is reported in this paper. Larvae were found in 2022 in fruits of Capsicum annuum and adults were reared in 2023 from Passiflora caerulea fruits in two localities of southern France.

Codon usage in twelve species of
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007 Background Codon usage bias (CUB), the uneven use of synonymous codons, is a ubiquitous observation in virtually all organisms examined. The pattern of codon usage is generally similar among closely related species, but differs significantly among ...
