Stabilizing adaptation in an invasive species: Alfalfa weevil as a case study
Comparison of thermal thresholds, fecundity and longevity across three alfalfa weevil strains (California in the United States, Hamadan in Iran, Ebro Valley in Spain) reveal significant differences in demographic parameters. Weather‐driven physiologically based demographic models (PBDMs) developed from life table data explore strain adaptation to ...

In Vitro and In Vivo Effect of Amitraz on Honey Bee Drone Sperm Quality
ABSTRACT Honey bee hive infestation by the ectoparasitic mite, Varroa destructor, has been a major cause of declining populations. Treating such infestations is important for sustainability. Knowledge about the sub‐lethal effects of commonly used acaricides on drone reproductive health, particularly sperm quality, is limited. The effect of in vitro and
