Population‐specific responses to developmental temperature in the arboviral vector Aedes albopictus : Implications for climate changeNARA Subscribed
The increase of environmental temperature due to current global warming is not only favouring the expansion of the distribution range of many insect species, but it is also changing their phenology. Insect phenology is tightly linked to developmental timing, which is regulated by environmental temperatures. However, the degree to which the effects of developmental temperatures extend across developmental stages and their inter...

A specialist root herbivore exploits defensive metabolites to locate nutritious tissuesNARA Subscribed
Ecology Letters (2011) 14 : 55–64 Abstract The most valuable organs of plants are often particularly rich in essential elements, but also very well defended. This creates a dilemma for herbivores that need to maximise energy intake while minimising intoxication. We investigated how the specialist root herbivore Diabrotica virgifera solves this conundrum when feeding on wild and cultivated maize plants. We found that crown root...
Outbreak of betanodavirus infection in tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (L.), in fresh waterNARA Subscribed
A betanodavirus associated with a massive mortality was isolated from larvae of tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus , maintained in fresh water at 30 °C . Histopathology revealed vacuolation of the nervous system, suggesting an infection by a betanodavirus. The virus was identified by indirect fluorescent antibody test in the SSN1 cell line and further characterized by sequencing of a PCR product. Sequencing of the T4 region of the...
