Animal Conservation, EarlyView.In a mesocosm experiment we tested whether heated aquatic shelters would help tadpoles of amphibian populations to eliminate Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) infection or reduce its costs. Our results showed that, after appropriate modifications, the shelters could be effectively used in mitigation actions against Bd or other waterborne pathogens ...

Potential of alternative control of leaf‐cutting ants using essential oils: A systematic review
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Abstract Leaf‐cutting ants (LCAs) are abundant and cause considerable damage to agricultural and forest crops in the Neotropical region and are commonly controlled using sulfluramid‐based ant baits. However, this active ingredient is a precursor of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), a persistent, human‐made pollutant that poses serious environmental

Determinants of mating success in a lek‐mating species
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Abstract Leks are male‐biased aggregations formed for mating, where sperm is the only resource acquired by visiting females. One of the many advantages of leks is the possibility to efficiently assess the quality of potential mates by comparing aggregated individuals of the same sex with one another. When direct mate choice occurs in a lekking species,

The Sterile Insect Technique. On the usefulness of Mathematical Modelling
, 2019 In the last decades, the development of sustainable insect control methods, like sterile insect technique (SIT), has become one of the most challenging issue to reduce the risk of human vector-borne diseases, like malaria, dengue, chikungunya or crop pests, like fruit flies.

Allergy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The basophil activation test (BAT) is gaining increasing relevance as an ex vivo functional assay in allergy to evaluate IgE‐mediated hypersensitivity reactions to food allergens, venoms, and drugs and to monitor tolerance induction. Establishing universal standard operating protocols has been difficult, due to several challenges including ...

Reversibility of sex changes in the plant kingdom: more important than we thought?
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Compared to animals, plants show a wide range of reproductive strategies with different degrees of sex separation (e.g. dioecy, monoecy, hermaphroditism). While sex expression was previously thought to be genetically determined and fixed in plants, accumulating evidence suggests that sex expression can change reversibly even within one ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.The Mahoenui giant wētā is an Aotearoa New Zealand endemic insect of conservation concern, having been extirpated from the majority of its natural range before rediscovery in the 1960s. We assess the genetic impacts of a translocation from the remaining population in the Mahoenui Giant Wētā Scientific Reserve to establish a new population on Mahurangi ...
