It has been theorized that inducing extreme reproductive sex ratios could be a method to suppress or eliminate pest populations. Limited knowledge about the genetic makeup and mode of action of naturally occurring sex distorters and the prevalence of...

The western flower thrips Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is a cosmopolitan, polyphagous insect pest that causes bronzing to fruit of strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa). The main aim of this study was to test whether mas... Read More about Can mass trapping reduce thrips damage and is it economically viable?: management of the western flower thrips in strawberry.

Role of semiochemicals in oviposition and mating behaviour of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae)
Thesis
Role of semiochemicals in oviposition and mating behaviour of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae). https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/403592

Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) is the major vector of a number of arboviruses including dengue. Understanding how semiochemicals might mediate the key behaviours of mating and oviposition should lead to a better understanding of the biology of Ae...

The influence of beta-glucans on the relationship between carp (Cyprinus carpio) and its associated microbiome
Thesis
carp (Cyprinus carpio) and its associated microbiome. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/408051

Fish are in contact with microbiota from the moment of hatching. Exterior organs, i.e. skin, gills and intestinal system, are colonised by commensal bacteria populations and a symbiotic relationship is formed. The fish provides a niche and nutrients...
