DOI: 10.1007/s10526-019-09937-1
Abstract: Predaceous ladybird beetles are known to consume alternative foods from flowers, especially when prey is scarce. Flower-rich semi-natural habitats in agroecosystems generally host a diversity of natural enemies, including predaceous ladybird beetles, suggesting that the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-05023-7
Abstract: Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the primary staple food source for more than half of the world’s population. In many developing countries, increased use of fertilizers is a response to increase demand for rice. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-24455-3
Abstract: Adaptive evolution and plasticity are two mechanisms that facilitate phenotypic differences between populations living in different environments. Understanding which mechanism underlies variation in fitness-related traits is a crucial step in designing conservation and restoration management… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/bfgp/elac051
Abstract: To survive and establish a niche for themselves, bacteria constantly evolve. Toward that, they not only insert point mutations and promote illegitimate recombinations within their genomes but also insert pieces of 'foreign' deoxyribonucleic acid, which… read more here.

DOI: 10.14411/eje.2017.027
Abstract: Nutrition is one of the most important environmental factors that influence the development and growth in Drosophila. The food composition strongly affects their reproduction, welfare and survival, so it is necessary for flies to search… read more here.

DOI: 10.3168/jds.2016-11952
Abstract: Lactose is a major component of milk (typically around 5% of composition) that is not usually directly considered in national genetic improvement programs of dairy cattle. Daily test-day lactose yields and percentage data from pasture-based… read more here.
