Historical pesticide applications for the treatment of eastern spruce budworm infestations in New BrunswickNARA Subscribed
Pesticides have been used in Canada since 1945 as part of large‐scale aerial spray applications to control insect pests on forested lands. Some of the pesticides used historically were efficacious, nonselective, persistent, and have led to serious impacts on the environment. A well known, and extensively documented example is the large‐scale aerial spray programs in New Brunswick, Canada. From 1952 to 1993, 97% of the 6.2 mill...
Temperature synchronizes temporal variation in laying dates across European hole‐nesting passerinesNARA Subscribed
Identifying the environmental drivers of variation in fitness‐related traits is a central objective in ecology and evolutionary biology. Temporal fluctuations of these environmental drivers are often synchronized at large spatial scales. Yet, whether synchronous environmental conditions can generate spatial synchrony in fitness‐related trait values (i.e., correlated temporal trait fluctuations across populations) is poorly und...
Multinational evaluation of the BioFire® FilmArray® Pneumonia plus Panel as compared to standard of care testingNARA Subscribed
This study compared standard of care testing (SOC) to BioFire® FilmArray® Pneumonia plus Panel (PN plus ). PN plus detects 15 bacteria with semiquantitative log bin values, 7 antibiotic resistance markers, three atypical bacteria (AB), and eight viral classes directly from bronchoalveolar lavage-like specimens (BLS) and sputum-like specimens (SLS). Fifty-two laboratories from 13 European countries and Israel tested 1234 BLS an...
Long-term variability of the southern Adriatic circulation in relation to North Atlantic OscillationOA Marine
The interannual variability of the South Adriatic Gyre and its relation to the wind vorticity and the large-scale climatic pattern (North Atlantic Oscillation – NAO) was studied using the time series of satellite altimetric data and ocean surface wind products. The cyclonic circulation observed in the southern Adriatic area was partly sustained by the local wind forcing, as suggested by the positive correlation between the rat...

Modelling and estimating pollen movement in oilseed rape ( Brassica napus ) at the landscape scale using genetic markersNARA Subscribed
Understanding patterns of pollen movement at the landscape scale is important for establishing management rules following the release of genetically modified (GM) crops. We use here a mating model adapted to cultivated species to estimate dispersal kernels from the genotypes of the progenies of male‐sterile plants positioned at different sampling sites within a 10 × 10‐km oilseed rape production area. Half of the pollen clouds...
High diversity of oilseed rape pollen clouds over an agro‐ecosystem indicates long‐distance dispersalNARA Subscribed
Estimating the frequency of long‐distance pollination is important in cultivated species, particularly to assess the risk of gene transfer following the release of genetically modified crops. For this purpose, we estimated the diversity and origin of fertilizing pollen in a 10 × 10 km French oilseed rape production area. First, the cultivar grown in each field was identified through surveys to farmers and using microsatellite...
Fifteen populations of wild bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris ), located in three provinces in Argentina, were analysed for their polymorphism for a complex resistance gene candidate (RGC) family clustered on the genome and for resistance phenotypes to strains of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum. Results indicate that RGC polymorphism is high. Population structure obtained for markers related to resistance was compared to population stru...
