Socioeconomic predictors of knockdown resistance in Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae)

The paper examines the link between neighborhood wealth and knockdown resistance (kdr) frequency in Aedes albopictus mosquitoes in Raleigh, finding a strong association between wealth and kdr mutation prevalence.

Rapid spread of knockdown resistance allele frequencies in a suburban population of Aedes albopictus

This study tracks the rapid spread of a knockdown resistance allele in Aedes albopictus mosquitoes in a suburban area, showing its expansion and selection pressure from pyrethroid use.

Development of the First High-Density Linkage Map in the Maize Weevil, Sitophilus zeamais

The paper develops the first genetic linkage map for the maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais, using flow cytometry to determine genome size and SNP markers to construct the map.

Population genetic structure of the maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais, in southern Mexico

This study finds significant genetic population structure in maize weevils from southern Mexico using genome-wide SNP data, suggesting local factors shape genetic differentiation.
