A mosquito vector control model based on incompatible and sterile insect techniques
, 2022 Abstract Recent successful field trials have demonstrated that combining incompatible insect technique and sterile insect technique becomes promising and feasible for mosquito vector control. In this paper, by considering wild mosquito population consisting of Wolbachia-infected mosquitoesand regular uninfected individuals, we formulate a ...

Cytoplasmic incompatibility as a means of controlling Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus mosquito in the islands of the south-western Indian Ocean. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2011 The use of the bacterium Wolbachia is an attractive alternative method to control vector populations. In mosquitoes, as in members of the Culex pipiens complex, Wolbachia induces a form of embryonic lethality called cytoplasmic incompatibility, a sperm ...

Global Warming and Mass Extinctions Associated With Large Igneous Province Volcanism
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 83-102., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Odor-driven attractor dynamics in the antennal lobe allow for simple and rapid olfactory pattern classification [PDF]
, 2004 The antennal lobe plays a central role for odor processing in insects, as demonstrated by electrophysiological and imaging experiments. Here we analyze the detailed temporal evolution of glomerular activity patterns in the antennal lobe of honeybees.
