Phenotypic plasticity meets and moulds carry-over effects in sea rock-pool mosquitoes

Giulia Cordeschi, Roberta Bisconti, Valentina Mastrantonio…·Daniele Porretta

The paper examines how environmental conditions affect trait interactions in sea rock-pool mosquitoes, showing that salinity modulates direct carry-over effects through larval size-dependent behavioural plasticity.

Developing heterospecific Sterile Insect Technique for pest control: insights from the spotted wing fly Drosophila suzukii

Flavia Cerasti, Massimo Cristofaro, Valentina Mastrantonio…·Daniele Porretta

This study explores using heterospecific sterile males to control Drosophila suzukii by exploiting reproductive interference, showing they reduce pest fitness through mating.

Advancing Heterospecific Sterile Insect Technique Against Drosophila suzukii: selection of the optimal irradiation dose for D. melanogaster males

Flavia Cerasti, Valentina Mastrantonio, Alessia Cemmi…·Daniele Porretta

This study identifies 80 Gy as the optimal irradiation dose for D. melanogaster males to suppress D. suzukii populations by balancing sterility, longevity, and mating performance.
