Abstract: Sublethal exposure to insecticides can trigger unintended responses in non-target insects that may disrupt reproductive and developmental performances of these organisms. Here, we assessed whether sublethal exposure to the pyrethroid insecticide deltamethrin in early life… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0232601
Abstract: Morphological variation between individuals can increase niche segregation and decrease intraspecific competition when heterogeneous individuals explore their environment in different ways. Among bat species, wing shape correlates with flight maneuverability and habitat use, with species… read more here.

DOI: 10.3958/059.045.0215
Abstract: Abstract. The invasive spotted-wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura, 1931), affects fruit with a thin epidermis and causes great loss of production. In Mexico, it is regulated because of its economic damage. Relevance of the sterile… read more here.
