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