A study of population growth of Sitophilus oryzae L. and Sitophilus granarius L. in single and mixed culture in wheat and rice : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Plant Science at Massey University [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
Biological interactions between organisms which contend for the same resource, have been of interest to ecologists since the days of Darwin. Although this sort of association is evident for many animal-versus-animal and plant-versus-plant situations, one

A novel partitivirus conferring hypovirulence by affecting vesicle transport in the fungus Colletotrichum

open access: yesmBio
Colletotrichum spp. are economically important phytopathogenic fungi that cause anthracnose in a variety of plant species worldwide. Hypovirulence-associated mycoviruses provide new options for the biological control of plant fungal diseases.

Underground Inter-Nest Tunnels of Red Imported Fire Ants, Solenopsis invicta: Physical Features and Associations with Colony and Environmental Factors

open access: yesInsects
While foraging tunnels of the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta, have been well studied, much less is known about the tunnels constructed between neighboring nests, despite their perceived importance in intra-colony exchange and collaboration. In

The landscape and evolutionary dynamics of derived lncRNAs in insects

open access: yesCommunications Biology
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) function as crucial regulatory elements in eukaryotes, yet have remained largely unexplored across diverse insect lineages. We present a comprehensive analysis of lncRNA atlases across 115 insect species, identifying 647,691
