Addressing a future pandemic: how can non-biological complex drugs prepare us for antimicrobial resistance threats? Open
Non-biological complex drugs (NBCDs) are an emerging class of therapeutics that show multi-mechanistic antimicrobial activity and hold great promise as next generation antimicrobial agents.

A high‐throughput amplicon sequencing approach for population‐wide species diversity and composition survey Open
Management of agricultural pests requires an understanding of pest species diversity, their interactions with beneficial insects and spatial‐temporal patterns of pest abundance. Invasive and agriculturally important insect pests can build …

Releasing incompatible males drives strong suppression across populations of wild and <i>Wolbachia</i> -carrying <i>Aedes aegypti</i> in Australia Open
Significance With over 40% of humans at risk from mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya, and Zika, the development of environmentally friendly mosquito-control tools is critical. The release of reproductively in…

The potential geographical distribution and phenology of <i>Bemisia tabaci</i> Middle East/Asia Minor 1, considering irrigation and glasshouse production Open
The Bemisia tabaci species complex is one of the most important pests of open field and protected cropping globally. Within this complex, one species (Middle East Asia Minor 1, B. tabaci MEAM1, formerly biotype B) has been especially probl…

Take out the rubbish – Removing NUMTs and pseudogenes from the<i>Bemisia tabaci</i>cryptic species mtCOI database Open
Identification of Bemisia tabaci cryptic whitefly species complex currently relies on molecular characterisation of the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome oxidase subunit I (mtCOI) partial gene, however, nuclear mitochondrial sequences (NUMTs), …

The Trouble with MEAM2: Implications of Pseudogenes on Species Delimitation in the Globally Invasive Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) Cryptic Species Complex Open
Molecular species identification using suboptimal PCR primers can over-estimate species diversity due to coamplification of nuclear mitochondrial (NUMT) DNA/pseudogenes. For the agriculturally important whitefly Bemisia tabaci cryptic pest…

Global threat to agriculture from invasive species Open
Significance A key scientific and policy challenge relating to invasive species at the world level is to understand and predict which countries are most vulnerable to the threat of invasive species. We present an analysis of the threat fro…
