This study compares gut bacterial microbiota of two fruit-feeding moths from different host plants and locations, finding shared bacterial genera and stability within species despite dietary variation.

The paper investigates the genetic spread of pyrethroid resistance mutations in Aedes aegypti across the Indo-Pacific, finding that resistance allele combinations spread through linked selection rather than dispersal.

The paper shows that a deleterious Wolbachia infection in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes has maintained its harmful effects over time despite evolutionary pressures.

This study tests if membrane feeding compromises the quality of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes by selecting populations for feeding on membranes or human hosts over generations, finding some adaptation but no major impact on field performance.

The paper investigates whether Wolbachia naturally occurs in Aedes aegypti by reviewing evidence and conducting field and lab surveys, finding no confirmation of natural Wolbachia infections.

The paper describes the release of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes carrying the wAlbB Wolbachia strain in Malaysia to reduce dengue incidence, showing successful establishment and reduced human dengue cases in some areas.

This study tests the host-seeking ability of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in a semi-field system, finding no negative impact of Wolbachia infection or lab rearing on their ability to locate human hosts.

The study investigates imidacloprid resistance in Drosophila melanogaster across different temperatures and finds a polygenic basis with a trade-off against thermotolerance.

This paper develops a mathematical model to predict Wolbachia spread in Aedes aegypti populations under heterogeneous landscapes and evaluates how habitat variation and fitness costs affect spread rates.

This study examines the effects of alternative blood sources on Wolbachia-infected Aedes aegypti females, finding reduced egg hatch rates and Wolbachia density when using sheep or pig blood.

The paper investigates size-based mating preferences in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, finding small females prefer small males, which could impact the success of mosquito release programs.

This study assesses inbreeding and laboratory adaptation in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, finding fitness costs at low population sizes but limited adaptation at larger sizes.

The paper investigates slow Wolbachia spread in Cairns, Australia, finding dispersal barriers, long-distance mosquito movement, and Wolbachia loss as contributing factors.

This study tests assumptions of Species Distribution Models by examining altitudinal gradients in Drosophila birchii, finding that ecological limits are driven by biotic interactions and that local adaptation is not evident.

The paper shows that sex chromosomes in Aedes aegypti are genetically differentiated over a large region, not just a small sex-determining region, and demonstrates how this can be used for accurate sex assignment and population genomic studies.

The paper examines how warming and fire affect shrub recruitment and growth in alpine ecosystems, finding fire significantly increases shrub establishment and warming boosts growth rates.
