Plant Species Biology, EarlyView.Leaf color has been rarely evaluated as an important trait influencing herbivory levels in tropical plant species. Cannonball trees (Lecythis pisonis) present pink young leaves that are smaller, softer and with less chlorophyll that progressively turn into green as the season progresses. When all three leaf colors are present in the plants, there is no

The transformer gene controls sexual development in Drosophila suzukii
Insect Science, EarlyView.The transformer gene plays a key role in the genetic pathway for sexual development in Drosophila suzukii Abstract The genetic network of sex determination in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster was investigated in great detail. Such knowledge not only advances our understanding of the evolution and regulation of sexual dimorphism in insects ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Urban environments provide favorable conditions for the introduction and spread of nonnative and invasive species like the Argentine ant, which exploit ecological and climatic homogenization in cities to overcome natural barriers. Monitoring the expansion of such species can be achieved through potential distribution models, which in this study ...
