• Modelling the establishment, spread and distribution shifts of pests 

      Lantschner, Maria Victoria; De La Vega, Gerardo; Corley, Juan Carlos (Taylor and Francis, 2019)
      During the last century increasing human trade networks have interacted with other global changes – such as land use and climate change – to accelerate the range expansion of pest species worldwide. In this special issue, ...
    • No evidence of enemy release in pathogen and microbial communities of comnon wasps [Vespula vulgaris] in their native and introduced range 

      Lester, Philip J.; Bosch, Peter J.; Gruber, Mónica A.M.; Kapp, Eugene A.; Peng, Lifeng; Brenton-Rule, Evan C.; Buchanan, Joe; Stanislawek, Wlodek L.; Archer, Michael; Corley, Juan Carlos; Masciocchi, Maite; Van Oystaeyen, Annette; Wenseleers, Tom (2015-03-23)

    • The origins of global invasions of the German wasp (Vespula germanica) and its infection with four honey bee viruses 

      Brenton-Rule, Evan C.; Dobelmann, Jana; Baty, James W.; Brown, Robert L.; Dvorak, Libor; Grangier, Julien; Masciocchi, Maite; McGrannachan, Chris; Shortall, Chris R.; Schmack, Julia; van Zyl, Carolien; Veldtman, Ruan; Lester, Philip J. (Springer, 2018-12)
      A successful control or eradication programme using biological control or genetically-mediated methods requires knowledge of the origin and the extent of wasp genetic diversity. Mitochondrial DNA variation in the native ...
