Wolbachia is an endosymbiotic Alphaproteobacteria that can suppress insect-borne
diseases through decreasing host virus transmission (population replacement) or through …

ABSTRACT A forest species of millipede belonging to the Order Spirobolida found along the
eastern coast of southern Africa were tested for size assortative mating. The objectives …

Speciation often involves the evolution of multiple genetic-based barriers to gene flow
(ie,“coupling”). However, barriers may exhibit a diversity of evolutionary interactions during …

Mosquito-borne diseases, such as dengue and malaria, pose a significant burden to global
health. Current control strategies with insecticides are only moderately effective. Scalable …

Gene drive technology, in which fast‐spreading engineered drive alleles are introduced into
wild populations, represents a promising new tool in the fight against vector‐borne diseases …

The sterile insect technique (SIT) depends greatly on the production of good-quality sterile
male insects that are released into target wild populations. Quality is controlled through a …

Background Effective vector control measures are essential in a world where many mosquito-
borne diseases have no vaccines or drug therapies available. Insecticidal tools remain the …

The field of mosquito mating biology has experienced a considerable expansion in the past
decade. Recent work has generated many key insights about specific aspects of mating …

Adult Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are important vectors of human disease. The size of the
adult female affects her success, fitness, and ability to transmit diseases. The size of the …

Background Evaluating and improving mating success and competitive ability of laboratory-
reared transgenic mosquito strains will enhance the effectiveness of proposed disease …
