Role of mitochondrial complex I genes in host plant expansion of Bactrocera tau (Tephritidae: Diptera) by CRISPR/Cas9 system

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
The role of 3 mitochondrial complex I gene in host expansion of Bactrocera tau was verified by CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system. A stable homogenous strain (Btndufa7‐/‐) of B.tau was established after silencing Ndufa7. The reduced size of larvae and pupae of Ndufa7 knockout strain was first found.Then different levels of fitness and relative expression ...

Functional validation of a white pupae minimal gene construct in Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae)

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
An intronless version of the white pupae (wp) gene was engineered to restore the wild type brown puparium color in white pupae phenotype mutants of the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata. Functionality of the minimal gene version (mini‐wp) was verified in vivo, as one copy of mini‐wp successfully restored the wild type phenotype in homozygous ...

Why do people cooperate with the police and criminal courts? A test of procedural justice theory in 30 countries

open access: yesCriminology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article presents a cross‐national test of the portability of procedural justice theory (PJT). Drawing on nationally representative survey data from 30 diverse social, political, and legal contexts across Europe and beyond, we find that the theory travels well across national borders and that its psychological purchase is particularly ...

Market orientation and national homicide rates

open access: yesCriminology, EarlyView.
Abstract We studied the influence of market orientation on national homicide rates. Multiple theoretical traditions equate the development and dominance of markets with higher crime rates. Some traditional sociological theoretical claims, however, suggest market expansion should reduce violence.

Domination Versus Sisterhoods in the Blood Microbiota of Migrating Birds: Patterns of Within‐ and Between‐Individual Blood Parasite Diversity Revealed Through Metabarcoding

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Avian haemosporidian blood parasites are typically identified through Sanger sequencing of a partial cytochrome b fragment, the MalAvi barcoding region. Next‐generation sequencing is seldom used for avian blood parasite identification; this study demonstrates a higher detection rate of co‐infections via metabarcoding and its possible implications ...

Securing Democracy: Online Political Advertising Regulations and Practices in the EU and its Member States

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Starting with the Facebook‐Cambridge Analytica scandal and its link to Brexit and the 2016 US elections, the nexus among online political advertising, micro‐targeting, and data‐driven electoral campaigning has revealed its disruptive potential for democracies.

Collision, Competition or Cooperation? China's BRI and the EU's Development Policies Towards Eastern Europe

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Against the backdrop of China's growing engagement in Eastern Europe, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) appears to challenge the European Union (EU) approach to promoting development in the region. We take issue with this claim by making three interrelated arguments.

Foreign Aid at a Crossroads: How Funding Cuts Reshape Global Development Cooperation

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent aid budget reductions among major donor countries have reignited debates over the future of international development cooperation, with several commentators warning of an impending collapse of the aid sector. Engaging with historical and critical development literature on aid cycles, donor motives, and the evolution of Official ...
