Behavioral trajectories as predictors in event history analysis: Male calling behavior forecasts medfly longevity
(2006)A recent study on wild male Mediterranean fruit flies [Papadopoulos, N.T., Katsoyannos, B.I., Kouloussis, N.A., Carey, J.R., Müller, H.-G., Zhang, Y., 2004. High sexual signalling rates of young individuals predict extended ... -
Complete genomic characterization of an intertypic Sabin 3/Sabin 2 capsid recombinant
(2008)The genetic properties of strain K/2002, isolated from fecal samples of a 7-month-old child who had received his first oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) dose at the age of 3 months, are described. Preliminary sequencing ... -
A Comprehensive Phylogenetic Analysis of Deadenylases
(2013)Deadenylases catalyze the shortening of the poly(A) tail at the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) 3'-end in eukaryotes. Therefore, these enzymes influence mRNA decay, and constitute a major emerging group of promising ... -
Cyclocephala (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae) evolution in Lesser West Indies indicates a Northward colonization by C. tridentata
(2012)A dual cytogenetic and molecular analysis was performed in four species of Cyclocepala (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae) from Lesser Antilles (Martinique, Dominica and Guadeloupe). Two species/sub-species, C. mafaffa ... -
Differential response to larval crowding of a long- and a short-lived medfly biotype
(2020)Response of endophytic fruit fly species (Tephritidae) to larval crowding is a form of scramble competition that may affect important life history traits of adults, such as survival and reproduction. Recent empirical ... -
Evolution and taxonomic distribution of nonribosomal peptide and polyketide synthases
(2008)The majority of nonribosomal peptide synthases and type I polyketide synthases are multimodular megasynthases of oligopeptide and polyketide secondary metabolites, respectively. Owing to their multimodular architecture, ... -
Evolution of European Cockchafers (Melolonthinae: Scarabaeidae: Coleoptera): a morphological, molecular and chromosomal study of intra- and inter-specific variations
(2011)In cockchafers of the genus Melolontha, there is a marked intraspecific polymorphism for morphological characters, making some specimens of one species resemble another. A cytogenetic and molecular (mitochondrial COI gene ... -
Genomics of habitat choice and adaptive evolution in a deep-sea fish
(2018)Intraspecific diversity promotes evolutionary change, and when partitioned among geographic regions or habitats can form the basis for speciation. Marine species live in an environment that can provide as much scope for ... -
HPV16-genotyper: A computational tool for risk-assessment, lineage genotyping and recombination detection in hpv16 sequences, based on a large-scale evolutionary analysis
(2021)Previous analyses have identified certain but limited evidence of recombination among HPV16 genomes, in accordance with a general perception that DNA viruses do not frequently recombine. In this evolutionary/bioinformatics ... -
Insights into the genetic diversity and evolution of Little cherry virus 1
(2015)Little cherry virus 1 (LChV-1), a member of the recently proposed genus Velarivirus, is a sweet cherry pathogen that has been recently reported to infect other Prunus species and is associated with various plant disorders. ... -
Large animal models in forensic medicine and pathology: Recent research and its impact on the evolution of veterinary forensic pathology
(2020)Modern forensic research studies using large animal models are presented and classified by subject, into (a) corpse decomposition and post mortem interval; (b) forensic entomology; (c) forensic toxicology; (d) blunt-force ... -
Long-term studies on the evolution of resistance of Myzus persicae (Hemiptera: Aphididae) to insecticides in Greece
(2021)The aphid Myzus persicae s.l. (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is an important pest of many crops worldwide with a complex life cycle, intensely controlled by chemical pesticides, and has developed resistance to almost all used ... -
Microsatellite analysis of olive fly populations in the mediterranean indicates a westward expansion of the species
(2005)Bactrocera oleae is the major insect pest of the olive fruit. Twelve microsatellite loci isolated from the genome of this insect were used in a Mediterranean-wide population analysis. These loci were highly polymorphic ... -
NAT/NCS2-hound: a webserver for the detection and evolutionary classification of prokaryotic and eukaryotic nucleobase-cation symporters of the NAT/NCS2 family
(2018)Nucleobase transporters are important for supplying the cell with purines and/or pyrimidines, for controlling the intracellular pool of nucleotides, and for obtaining exogenous nitrogen/carbon sources for metabolism. ... -
De novo assembly of the olive fruit fly (Bactrocera oleae) genome with linked-reads and long-read technologies minimizes gaps and provides exceptional y chromosome assembly
(2020)Background: The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae, is the most important pest in the olive fruit agribusiness industry. This is because female flies lay their eggs in the unripe fruits and upon hatching the larvae feed on ... -
Optimal experimental design in stochastic structural dynamics
(2005)This paper provides a methodology for optimal prediction of the response of randomly vibrating structures using information from a limited number of measurements. The objective is to optimize the locations of sensors for ... -
A quantitative analysis of the spatial and temporal evolution patterns of the bluetongue virus outbreak in the island of Lesvos, Greece, in 2014
(2020)Bluetongue virus (BTV) causes an infectious disease called bluetongue, a vector-borne viral disease of ruminants, which has major implications and causes severe economic damage due to its effect on livestock. These economic ... -
