Recent advances in the population biology and management of maize foliar fungal pathogens Exserohilum turcicum, Cercospora zeina and Bipolaris maydis in Africa [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Maize is the most widely cultivated and major security crop in sub-Saharan Africa. Three foliar diseases threaten maize production on the continent, namely northern leaf blight, gray leaf spot, and southern corn leaf blight. These are caused by the fungi

Changes in population biology of three coral reef fishes in the South China Sea between 1998–1999 and 2016–2019

Frontiers in Conservation Science, 2023
The decline of coral reefs and their fish has attracted worldwide attention. The South China Sea is the important center of coral reefs. Reef-fish is a crucial component in coral reef ecosystem. However, studies on the long-term variation in the biololgy

What’s the Matter with MICs: Bacterial Nutrition, Limiting Resources, and Antibiotic Pharmacodynamics

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
The MIC of an antibiotic required to prevent replication is used both as a measure of the susceptibility/resistance of bacteria to that drug and as the single pharmacodynamic parameter for the rational design of antibiotic treatment regimes.

Some population aspects of Charybdis (Charybdis) hellerii (A. Milne-Edwards, 1867) (Decapoda, Portunidae) at Sergipe River Estuary, northeastern Brazilian coast [PDF]

Nauplius, 2023
The present study provides some parameters of the population biology of Charybdis (Charybdis) hellerii (A. Milne-Edwards, 1867), an invasive swimming crab inhabiting the estuarine portion of the Sergipe River, northeastern Brazilian coast. Samplings were

Modelling the impact of birth control policies on China’s population and age: effects of delayed births and minimum birth age constraints

Royal Society Open Science, 2022
We consider age-structured models with an imposed refractory period between births. These models can be used to formulate alternative population control strategies to China’s one-child policy.

Fungus Causing White-Nose Syndrome in Bats Accumulates Genetic Variability in North America with No Sign of Recombination

mSphere, 2017
Emerging fungal diseases of wildlife are on the rise worldwide, and the white-nose syndrome (WNS) epidemic in North American bats is a catastrophic example. The causal agent of WNS is a single clone of the fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans.

Caenorhabditis nematodes colonize ephemeral resource patches in neotropical forests

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Factors shaping the distribution and abundance of species include life‐history traits, population structure, and stochastic colonization–extinction dynamics. Field studies of model species groups help reveal the roles of these factors.
