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, ... -
Three new Drosophilidae species records for South Africa
(2020)Background: Data on the current species diversity from the Drosophilidae family in South Africa is limited or outdated. Objectives: Using haphazard, limited trapping for a different study, we serendipitously report on and ... -
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 ... -
Using stable isotope analysis to answer fundamental questions in invasion ecology: progress and prospects
(2020)What makes some species successful invaders while others fail, and why some invaders have major impacts in invaded ecosystems are pivotal questions that are attracting major research effort. The increasing availability of ... -
Water deprivation drives intraspecific variability in lizard heat tolerance
(2020)Quantifying intraspecific variation in heat tolerance is critical to understand how species respond to climate change. In a previous study, we recorded variability in critical thermal maxima (CTmax) by 3 degrees C among ...
