Biological invasions are a global consequence of an increasingly connected world and the
rise in human population size. The numbers of invasive alien species – the subset of alien …

An important mechanism for insect pest control should be the use of fungal entomopathogens.
Even though these organisms have been studied for more than 100y, their effective use in …

Angiogenesis is the process by which new blood vessels are formed from existing vessels.
The vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) are considered as key molecules in the …

Although research on human-mediated exchanges of species has substantially intensified
during the last centuries, we know surprisingly little about temporal dynamics of alien species …

Our ability to predict the identity of future invasive alien species is largely based upon knowledge
of prior invasion history. Emerging alien species—those never encountered as aliens …

Pollination is a critical ecosystem service underpinning the productivity of agricultural
systems across the world. Wild insect populations provide a substantial contribution to the …

… In this paper we map the spread and distribution of H. axyridis in Europe, and examine the
situation on a country-by-country basis. We report first records of the species in five countries; …

… neoaphidis each caused death within 4-h intervals, with peaks at 8 to 9 and 14 h after dawn,
respectively. Zoophthora radicans caused some deaths throughout the 24-h light cycle but …

… Deparaffinized tissue sections (3–5 μM) first underwent antigen retrieval with target retrieval
solution at pH 6.1 (Dako, Carpinteria, CA), then incubated with AKT antibody for 1 h at 37C …

… Here we provide an overview of the invasion history and ecology of H. axyridis globally with
consideration of future research perspectives. We reflect broadly on the contributions of such …
