Journal Article
Pope, T., Niassy, S., Subramanian, S., Drijfhout, F., Akinyemi, A., Tamiru, A., Kirk, W., Mfuti, D., O’Brien, M., O'BRIEN, M., & Campbell, H. (2021). Exploiting Thrips Aggregation Pheromones to Develop a Lure-and-Kill Strategy for the Management of the Bean Flower Thrips. Agronomy, https://doi.org/10.3390/agronomy11071269

The potential of semiochemicals to lure insect pests to a trap where they can be killed with biopesticides has been demonstrated as an eco-friendly pest management alternative. In this study, we tested two recently characterized male-produced aggrega...

Effect of rearing temperature on physiological measures and antioxidant status of broiler chickens fed stevia (Stevia rebaudiana B.) leaf meal and exogenous xylanase (2021)
Journal Article
Pirgozliev, V., Whiting, I. M., Mansbridge, S. C., Enchev, S., Rose, S. P., Kljak, K., Johnson, A. E., Drijfhout, F., Orczewska-Dudek, S., & Atanasov, A. G. (2021). Effect of rearing temperature on physiological measures and antioxidant status of broiler chickens fed stevia (Stevia rebaudiana B.) leaf meal and exogenous xylanase. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.crbiot.2021.05.005

Background The global climate is warming. Heat stress, as a result of high ambient temperatures, may negatively impact physiology and reduce growth performance of poultry. Stevia is a perennial shrub indigenous to South America where its phytochemica...

Cuticular hydrocarbons for identifying Sarcophagidae (Diptera). (2021)
Journal Article
Drijfhout, F. (2021). Cuticular hydrocarbons for identifying Sarcophagidae (Diptera). Scientific reports, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-87221-y

The composition and quantity of insect cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) can be species-specific as well as sexually dimorphic within species. CHC analysis has been previously used for identification and ageing purposes for several insect orders includin... Read More about Cuticular hydrocarbons for identifying Sarcophagidae (Diptera)..

Chronic Atmospheric Reactive Nitrogen Deposition Suppresses Biological Nitrogen Fixation in Peatlands. (2021)
Journal Article
Drijfhout. (2021). Chronic Atmospheric Reactive Nitrogen Deposition Suppresses Biological Nitrogen Fixation in Peatlands. Environmental Science and Technology, 1310-1318. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.0c04882

Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) represents the natural pathway by which mosses meet their demands for bioavailable/reactive nitrogen (Nr) in peatlands. However, following intensification of nitrogen fertilizer and fossil fuel use, atmospheric Nr d...
