Ancestral populations perform better in a novel environment: domestication of Mediterranean fruit fly populations from five global regions
(2011)Geographically isolated populations of a species may differ in several aspects of life history, morphology, behaviour and genetic structure as a result of adaptation in ecologically diverse habitats. We used a global ... -
A case for systematic quality management in mosquito control programmes in Europe
(2021)The recent spread of invasive mosquito species, such as Aedes albopictus and the seasonal sporadic transmission of autochthonous cases of arboviral diseases (e.g., dengue, chikungunya, Zika) in temperate areas, such as ... -
The failure of success: cyclic recurrences of a globally invasive pest
(2019)In the six decades since 1960, the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), has been announced successfully eradicated in California by the U.S. Department of Agriculture a total of 564 times. This includes ... -
Life history evolution in a globally invading tephritid: Patterns of survival and reproduction in medflies from six world regions
(2009)Comparisons among populations from different localities represent an important tool in the study of evolution. Medflies have colonized many temperate and tropical areas all over the world during the last few centuries. In ... -
Life table invasion models: spatial progression and species-specific partitioning
(2019)Biological invasions are increasingly being considered important spatial processes that drive global changes, threatening biodiversity, regional economies, and ecosystem functions. A unifying conceptual model of the invasion ... -
Multiple behavioural asymmetries impact male mating success in the khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium
(2017)Extensive research has recently been conducted to shed light on mating behavioural asymmetries in various species of vertebrates. However, little is available on this key issue for invertebrates, especially for species of ... -
Temperature-Mediated Competition between the Invasive Larger Grain Borer (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) and the Cosmopolitan Maize Weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(2020)Interspecific competition between agricultural pests may affect the species that can establish, and may also affect food production. Prostephanus truncatus (Horn), the larger grain borer, is endemic to Central America, but ...
