    Spatial population dynamics of a specialist aphid parasitoid, Lysiphlebus hirticornis Mackauer (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae): evidence for philopatry and restricted dispersal 

    Nyabuga, Franklin N.; Loxdale, Hugh D.; Heckel, David G.; Weisser, Wolfgang W. (Macmillan Publishers Limited, 2010-01)
    Within insect communities, the population ecology of organisms representing higher trophic levels, for example, hymenopterous parasitoids, may be influenced by the structure of their insect hosts. Using microsatellite ...

    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 ...

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

    Nyabuga, Franklin N.; Wolfgang, W. Weisser; Loxdale, H. D. (2008-10)
    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 ...

    Temporal genetic structuring of a specialist parasitoid, Lysiphlebus hirticornis Mackauer (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) attacking a specialist aphid on tansy 

    Nyabuga, Franklin N. (2010-11)
    In insect species characterized by inbreeding, limited dispersal, and a metapopulation structure, high genetic differentiation and reduced genetic diversity within local populations are expected. Using the model ...

    Genetic diversity among commercial coffee varieties, advanced selections and museum collections in Kenya using molecular markers 

    Gichimu, Bernard M.; Kathurima, CW.; Kenji, GM.; Muhoho, SM.; Boulanger, R.; Gichuru, E. K. (Academic Journals, 2012-02)
    Molecular markers have effectively been applied to study genetic diversity and as markers of particular traits. This study assessed the diversity of twenty four (24) coffee genotypes using 10 Random Amplified Polymorphic ...

    Uncovering the tracks of a recent and rapid invasion: the case of the fruit fly pest Bactrocera invadens in Africa. 

    Khamis, F.M.; Karam, N.; Ekesli, S.; De Meyer, M.; Bonomi, A.; Gomulski, L.M.; Scolaris, F.; Gabrieli, P.; Siciliano, S.; Masinga, D.; Kenya, Eucharia U.; Gasperi, G.; Malacrida, A.R.; Guglielmino, C.R. (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009-09-10)
    Phytophagous insects of the genus Bactrocera are among the most economically important invasive fruit fly pests. In 2003, an unknown Bactrocera species was found in Kenya. First identified as an ‘aberrant form’ of the ...
