Discovery of Knock‐Down Resistance in the Major African Malaria Vector Anopheles funestusNARA Subscribed
A major insecticide resistance mechanism in insect pests is knock‐down resistance ( kdr ) caused by mutations in the voltage‐gated sodium channel ( Vgsc ) gene. Despite being common in most malaria Anopheles vector species, kdr mutations have never been observed in Anopheles funestus , the principal malaria vector in Eastern and Southern Africa, with resistance mainly being conferred by detoxification enzymes. In a parallel st...
Dominance and rarity in tree communities across the globe: Patterns, predictors and threatsNARA Subscribed
Aim Ecological and anthropogenic factors shift the abundances of dominant and rare tree species within local forest communities, thus affecting species composition and ecosystem functioning. To inform forest and conservation management it is important to understand the drivers of dominance and rarity in local tree communities. We answer the following research questions: (1) What are the patterns of dominance and rarity in tree...
