A fast and reliable larval sampling method for improving the monitoring of fruit flies in soft and stone fruits

This paper introduces a new larval sampling method for monitoring fruit fly infestations, which is faster, more precise, and scalable than existing techniques.

Inorganic phosphate content does not affect oviposition preference in the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii

This study tests whether inorganic phosphate affects oviposition preference in Drosophila suzukii and finds no significant preference for high inorganic phosphate media.

Rapid and transient evolution of local adaptation to seasonal host fruits in an invasive pest fly

This study shows that local adaptation, not phenotypic plasticity, dominates in Drosophila suzukii populations adapting to changing host fruits over generations.

The origin of asexual brine shrimps

This study investigates the origin of asexual lineages in Artemia parthenogenetica, finding they arose through recent hybridization events and automixis.

Adaptation and correlated fitness responses over two time scales in Drosophila suzukii populations evolving in different environments

This study tracks fitness changes in Drosophila suzukii populations across multiple generations and environments, revealing how adaptation dynamics differ over time.

Can a population targeted by a CRISPR-based homing gene drive be rescued?

The paper models the effectiveness of gene drive brakes in preventing population eradication and finds that fitness-restoring brakes are more efficient than non-restoring ones.

Long-term prevalence data reveals spillover dynamics in a multi-host (Artemia), multi-parasite (Microsporidia) community

The paper uses long-term prevalence data to study spillover dynamics in a multi-host, multi-parasite community, revealing that one parasite depends on a maintenance host for persistence.
