Does Tap Water Quality Compromise the Production of Aedes Mosquitoes in Genetic Control Projects?
Insects, 2021 A mosquito’s life cycle includes an aquatic phase. Water quality is therefore an important determinant of whether or not the female mosquitoes will lay their eggs and the resulting immature stages will survive and successfully complete their development ...

Plant pathogen‐mediated rapid acclimation of a host‐specialized aphid to a non‐host plant
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Polyphagous aphids often consist of host‐specialized lineages, which have greater fitness on their native hosts than on others. The underlying causes are important for understanding of the evolution of diet breadth and host shift of aphids.
