Thermal biology, population fluctuations and implications of temperature extremes for the management of two globally significant insect pests
(Elsevier, 2013)The link between environmental temperature, physiological processes and population fluctuations is a significant aspect of insect pest management. Here, we explore how thermal biology affects the population abundance of ... -
Thermal limits of wild and laboratory strains of two African malaria vector species, Anopheles arabiensis and Anopheles funestus
(BioMed Central, 2012)Background: Malaria affects large parts of the developing world and is responsible for almost 800,000 deaths annually. As climates change, concerns have arisen as to how this vector-borne disease will be impacted by changing ... -
Thermal limits to survival and activity in two life stages of false codling moth Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae).
(The Royal Entomological Society, 2017)The present study examines life stage-related variation in the thermal limits to activity and survival in an African pest, the false codling moth Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae). Thermal tolerance, ... -
A transcriptomics assessment of oxygen-temperature interactions reveals novel candidate genes underlying variation in thermal tolerance and survival
(Elsevier B.V., 2018)While single stress responses are fairly well researched, multiple, interactive stress responses are not-despite the obvious importance thereof. Here, using D. melanogaster, we investigated the effects of simultaneous ...
