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.

Data incongruence and the problem of avian louse phylogeny [PDF]
, 2004 Recent studies based on different types of data (i.e. morphological and molecular) have supported conflicting phylogenies for the genera of avian feather lice (Ischnocera: Phthiraptera).

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 ...

A test for Allee effects in the self-incompatible wasp-pollinated milkweed Gomphocarpus physocarpus [PDF]
, 2009 It has been suggested that plants which are good colonizers will generally have either an ability to self-fertilize or a generalist pollination system. This prediction is based on the idea that these reproductive traits should confer resistance to Allee ...

Bisexual releases are as effective as male-only releases to control Drosophila suzukii with the sterile insect technique. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciBisexual releases are as effective as male‐only releases to control Drosophila suzukii with the sterile insect technique. Releasing sterile Drosophila suzukii males or males and females in cages led to the same degree of induced sterility in wild females.
