Energetic loads and informational entropy during insect metamorphosis: Measuring structural variability and self-organization
Damos, P. T.; Papadopoulos, N. T.; Rigas, A.; Savopoulou-Soultani, M. (2011)In this work an information theory approach is presented for measuring structural variability during insect metamorphosis. Following a self-organizational perspective, the underlying assumption is that an insect pupa is a ... -

From trickle to flood: the large-scale, cryptic invasion of California by tropical fruit flies
Papadopoulos, N. T.; Plant, R. E.; Carey, J. R. (2013)Since 1954, when the first tropical tephritid fruit fly was detected in California, a total of 17 species in four genera and 11 386 individuals (adults/larvae) have been detected in the state at more than 3348 locations ... -
Genetic and cytogenetic analysis of the American cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cingulata (Diptera: Tephritidae)

(2011)The American eastern cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cingulata, a pest of cherries in the western hemisphere, invaded Europe in 1983, and since then dispersed to several European countries. Information on the genetics and ... -
