Integrating otolith and genetic tools to reveal intraspecific biodiversity in a highly impacted salmon populationNARA Subscribed
Intraspecific biodiversity is vital for species persistence in an increasingly volatile world. By embracing methods that integrate information at different spatiotemporal scales, we can directly monitor and reconstruct changes in intraspecific biodiversity. Here we combined genetics and otolith biochronologies to describe the genotypic and phenotypic diversity of Chinook salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha ) in the Yuba River, C...
Combining sterile and incompatible insect techniques for the population suppression of Drosophila suzukiiNARA Subscribed
The spotted wing Drosophila , Drosophila suzukii , has recently invaded Europe and the Americas, and it is a major threat for a wide variety of commercial soft fruits both in open field and greenhouse production systems. D. suzukii infests a wide range of ripening fruits, leading to substantial yield and revenue losses. As the application of insecticides close to the harvest period poses great concerns, the development of an e...
Groundwater drainage from fissures as a source for laharsNARA Subscribed
Wolbachia is a maternally inherited and ubiquitous endosymbiont of insects. It can hijack host reproduction by manipulations such as cytoplasmic incompatibility ( CI ) to enhance vertical transmission. Horizontal transmission of Wolbachia can also result in the colonization of new mitochondrial lineages. In this study, we present a 15‐year‐long survey of Wolbachia in the cherry fruit fly Rhagoletis cerasi across Europe and the...
The widespread occurrence of W olbachia in arthropods and nematodes suggests that this intracellular, maternally inherited endosymbiont has the ability to cross species boundaries. However, direct evidence for such a horizontal transmission of W olbachia in nature is scarce. Here, we compare the well‐characterized W olbachia infection of the E uropean cherry fruit fly, R hagoletis cerasi , with that of the N orth A merican eas...
