The success of the horse-chestnut leaf-miner, Cameraria ohridella, in the UK revealed with hypothesis-led citizen science. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2014
Citizen science is an increasingly popular way of undertaking research and simultaneously engaging people with science. However, most emphasis of citizen science in environmental science is on long-term monitoring.

Temporal and spatial variations in the parasitoid complex of the horse chestnut leafminer during its invasion of Europe [PDF]

Biological Invasions, 2010
The enemy release hypothesis posits that the initial success of invasive species depends on the scarcity and poor adaptation of native natural enemies such as predators and parasitoids.

Ancient expansion of the hox cluster in lepidoptera generated four homeobox genes implicated in extra-embryonic tissue formation. [PDF]

PLoS Genet, 2014
Gene duplications within the conserved Hox cluster are rare in animal evolution, but in Lepidoptera an array of divergent Hox-related genes (Shx genes) has been reported between pb and zen.

Systematics and biology of some species of Micrurapteryx Spuler (Lepidoptera, Gracillariidae) from the Holarctic Region, with re-description of M. caraganella (Hering) from Siberia. [PDF]

Zookeys, 2016
During a DNA barcoding campaign of leaf-mining insects from Siberia, a genetically divergent lineage of a gracillariid belonging to the genus Micrurapteryx was discovered, whose larvae developed on Caragana Fabr. and Medicago L. (Fabaceae).

A synthesis of biological invasion hypotheses associated with the introduction–naturalisation–invasion continuum

Oikos, Volume 2023, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
With the advent of the Anthropocene, biological invasions have reached an unprecedented level, and the number of species introductions is still increasing in an ever‐changing world. Despite major advances in invasion science, significant debate and lack of clarity remain surrounding the determinants of success of introduced species, the magnitude and ...

Seeing the forest for the trees: Use of phages to treat bacterial tree diseases

Plant Pathology, Volume 70, Issue 9, Page 1987-2004, December 2021., 2021
Phages are promising biocontrol agents and hold great potential as a treatment for tree bacterial diseases. Abstract Trees and woody plants can be attacked by many pests and pathogens either individually or as polymicrobial infections. In particular, infections caused by tree‐specific bacterial pathogens have become more common during the last decade ...

Review of the existing maximum residue levels for chlorantraniliprole according to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005

EFSA Journal, Volume 18, Issue 9, September 2020., 2020
Abstract According to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, EFSA has reviewed the maximum residue levels (MRLs) currently established at European level for the pesticide active substance chlorantraniliprole. To assess the occurrence of chlorantraniliprole residues in plants, processed commodities, rotational crops and livestock, EFSA considered ...
