    Microsatellites from Lysiphlebus hirticornis Mackauer (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), a specialist primary parasitoid attacking the specialist tansy aphid, Metopeurum fuscoviride Stroyan (Hemiptera: Aphididae) 

    Loxdale, Hugh D.; Sharbel, Tomothy F.; Todd, Mark; Weisser, Wolfgang W. (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009-04)
    Nine polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated from the specialist aphid parasitoid, Lysiphlebus hirticornis. In addition, two published loci from closely related Lysiphlebus species were also used. Allelic diversity ...

    The 'Cake on the plate' syndrome ... and how specialist tansy aphids avoid extinction by hungry predators and parasitoids: insights from the use of polymorphic microsatellite markers 

    Nyabuga, Franklin N.; Loxdale, Hugh D.; Weisser, Wolfgang W. (2008)
    It was initially shown from 12.2 m high suction trap aerial density data and later confirmed using polymorphic molecular markers (initially allozymes, later high resolution DNA markers, especially microsatellites), that ...

    Additive main effects and multiplicative interaction analysis of genotype x environmental interaction among sweetpotato genotypes 

    Mwololo, J.K.; Muturi, Phyllis W.; Mburu, M.K.; Njeru, R.W.; Kiarie, N.; Munyua, J.K.; Ateka, E.M.; Muinga, R.W.; Kapinga, R.E.; Lemaga, B. (2009-04-08)
    Sweetpotato is an important food, feed and cash crop in Eastern Africa. Highly stable and adaptable genotypes are important in sweetpotato productivity and evaluation across sites would form a basis for breeding varieties ...

    molluscicidal and antimicrobial activity of solanum aculeastrum 

    Wanyonyi, Alphonse W.; Chhabra, S.C.; Mkojo, G.; Njue, Wilson N.; Tarus, Paul K. (2003)
    The methanolic extract of the fresh root bark and berries of Solanum aculeastrum showed significant activity against host snails of schistosomiasis. The berries extract was more potent with 100% snail kill at 50 ppm. ...

    Bandwidth selection in smoothing functions 

    Kibua, T.K.; Karuku, M. (2006)
    A simple criterion for selecting a bandwidth parameter that controls the amount of smoothing in functions is described. The procedure is computationally inexpensive and, hence, worth adopting. We argue that the bandwidth ...

    The Glossina proteolytic lectin (Gpl) gene is expressed only in members of Glossina species 

    Burugu, M.W.; Mbatia, B.N; Osir, E.O.; Kenya, Eucharia U.; Abubakar, L.U. (2008)
    Differentiation of bloodstream-form trypanosomes into procyclics in tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) is a crucial step in the establishment of midgut infections. A number of factors have been implicated in the ...

    Cyanobacteria and cyanobacterial toxins in the alkaline crater lakes Sonachi and Simbi, Kenya 

    Ballot, A.; Krienitz, L.; Kotut, Kiplagat; Wiegand, C.; Pflugmacher, S. (Elsevier, 2005-01)
    The phytoplankton communities and the production of cyanobacterial toxins were investigated in two alkaline Kenyan crater lakes, Lake Sonachi and Lake Simbi. Lake Sonachi was mainly dominated by the cyanobacterium Arthrospira ...
