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 ...

Needle in a Haystack: A Droplet Digital Polymerase Chain Reaction Assay to Detect Rare Helminth Parasites Infecting Natural Host Populations

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Helminths infect humans, livestock, and wildlife, yet remain understudied despite their significant impact on public health and agriculture. Because many of the most prevalent helminth‐borne diseases are zoonotic, understanding helminth transmission among wildlife could improve predictions and management of infection risks across species.

Spectral wavelength range influences the performance of chemometric models estimating various foliar functional traits

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Hyperspectral reflectance can potentially be used to non‐destructively estimate a diverse suite of plant physiochemical functional traits by applying chemometric approaches to leverage absorption features related to chemical compounds and physiological processes associated with these traits.

Feather forensics: tracing the origins of parrots in wildlife trade with stable isotopes and citizen science

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
To supply high demand for exotic pets, animals are harvested illegally from the wild and laundered as captive bred. However, there are currently limited methods to identify captive or wild origins of wildlife. We assessed the accuracy of stable isotope analysis of feathers to identify differences in diets, and therefore captive and wild origins, of ...
