This study identifies environmental drivers of Bactrocera dorsalis population dynamics in two Senegalese mango regions, showing distinct ecological processes shape off-season persistence and outbreak timing.

The paper assesses small mammal communities in pine plantations and hedgerows, finding hedgerows benefit some species but not restore forest specialists.

The paper investigates phage-bacterial interactions in plant agroecosystems, finding nested network structures and phylogeny-driven defense systems.

The paper uses machine learning to identify environmental drivers of Bactrocera dorsalis population dynamics in Senegalese mango orchards, finding humidity and temperature as key factors.

This study evaluates twelve COI and 16S metabarcoding primer sets for insectivorous diet analysis using in silico and empirical methods, finding primer degeneracy and amplicon length are key factors affecting detection and reliability.

The paper evaluates DNA metabarcoding using Ion Torrent and Illumina sequencing to identify diet composition in domestic cats, finding MiSeq more sensitive and reproducible for detecting food items.

The paper develops an HTAS approach to assess genetic diversity of plant viruses within and between hosts, demonstrating methods to estimate bias and implement automated variant calling.

The paper investigates changes in gastrointestinal helminth assemblages in invasive and native rodents in Senegal, finding support for the enemy release hypothesis but no strong evidence of parasite spillover or spillback.
