Effect of the geographical origin on the starvation, desiccation tolerance and metabolite content in Anastrepha fraterculus adults = Efecto del origen geográfico en la tolerancia a la inanición, desecación y contenido de metabolitos en adultos de Anastrepha fraterculus
(Royal Entomological Society, 2025-12-19)Climate significantly influences the geographic distribution of species. Understanding how species adapt to climatic stressors often involves analysing phenotypic variability across different regions. Insects exhibit diverse ... -
Effect of different larval diets on life history traits and nutritional content in Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae)
(MDPI, 2025-09-27)Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a major fruit pest in several countries of South America and is mass-reared for use in integrated pest control strategies, including the sterile insect technique (SIT), and ... -
When african and european lineages meet: The genetic landscape of honey bees in Argentina
(Wiley, 2025-09-28)Argentina has a complex and diverse landscape of honeybee (Apis mellifera sp.) populations shaped by historic introductions and hybridization between Africanized (AHB) and European (EHB) lineages. While a latitudinal cline ... -
Population-specific patterns of longevity and thermal induced lifespan extension in Drosophila suzukii
(Elsevier, 2025-08)Drosophila suzukii is an invasive pest that damages fruits of soft skin, provoking economic losses for commercial fruit producers. Understanding its biology is key for developing pest management strategies, with particular ... -
Chromosome-scale genome assembly of the South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus sp.1
(Wiley, 2025-10)Anastrepha fraterculus is a cryptic species complex with at least eight morphotypes distributed across the Americas. Among them, A. fraterculus sp.1, present in Argentina, is a major pest impacting fresh fruit production. ... -
Four large indels in barley chloroplast mutator (cpm) seedlings reinforce the hypothesis of a malfunction in the MMR system
(MDPI, 2025-09)A mutation detection strategy based on mismatch digestion was applied previously in barley seedlings carrying the chloroplast mutator (cpm) genotype through many generations. Sixty-one mutations were detected along with ... -
Antibiotic treatment reduces fecundity and nutrient content in females of Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) in a diet dependent way
(Elsevier, 2022-06)Insect microbiota, particularly, gut bacteria has recently gained especial attention in Tephritidae fruit flies, being Enterobacteriaceae the predominant bacterial group. This bacterial group has been postulated to contribute ... -
Latin America : a hub for agrobiotechnological innovations
(Oxford University Press, 2025-04)Background: Modern biotechnology is one of the last century’s major advances in human science. Particularly in the agronomical field, the landscape of crop improvement technologies has witnessed a great expansion, driven ... -
Understanding the differential performance in hygienic behavior against dead brood of drones and workers of Apis mellifera : a chemical approach
(Taylor and Francis, 2025)Hygienic behavior is a social health mechanism displayed by honey bee workers of Apis mellifera by which dead or diseased brood is removed from the hive. Such behavior is known to be induced by olfactory cues. The efficiency ... -
Assessing the role of key genes involved in the reproductive success of the honey bee parasite Varroa destructor
(BioMed Central, 2025-07)The ectoparasite Varroa destructor is the primary global threat to the western honey bee, Apis mellifera. Growing resistance to acaricide-based treatments has spurred interest in alternative control strategies. In this ... -
HBeeID : a molecular tool that identifes honey bee subspecies from diferent geographic populations
(BioMed Central, 2024-08)Background: Honey bees are the principal commercial pollinators. Along with other arthropods, they are increasingly under threat from anthropogenic factors such as the incursion of invasive honey bee subspecies, pathogens ... -
Potato leaf senescence affects the olfactory and feeding preferences of the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae
(Wiley, 2025)BACKGROUND: Foliar senescence is a physiological process involving the degradation of chlorophyll and proteins, with nitrogen compounds, especially amino acids, mobilised to other parts of the plant. This process enriches ... -
Transcriptomic response of male Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) to sexual stimulation by host plant volatiles
(Elsevier, 2025-09)Anastrepha fraterculus is a major pest of fruits in South America. Previous studies revealed that males exposed to volatiles from guava, a likely ancestral host, intensify courtship behavior and increase mating success. ... -
Frequencies of β-casein variants and their influence on genetic merit for production traits in Holstein cows
(CSIRO Publishing, 2024-12)Context: Traits considered for selection are influenced by social, consumer, and breeder demands. In the past decades, there has been increasing global interest in producing milk free from the β-casein (CSN2) A1 allele ... -
Stimulus-specific gene expression profiles associated with grooming behavior and Varroa destructor resistance in honey bees
(Frontiers Media, 2024-07)Grooming behavior is one of the mechanisms of social immunity in Apis mellifera. This behavior has been proposed as an active strategy of honey bees to restrain the population growth of the ectoparasitic mite Varroa ... -
Temporal host–symbiont dynamics in community contexts : Impacts of host fitness and vertical transmission efficiency on symbiosis prevalence
(Wiley, 2024-12)Symbiotic associations play a role in plant ecology and evolution, but the outcome of the interaction depends on the life-history traits of the partners and the environmental context. Although symbiosis with vertically ... -
