Adaptation of the PESTonFARM Model to Support Decision-Making and Planning of Local Implementation of the Sterile Insect Technique in the Control of Ceratitis capitata Flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) Open
The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is most effective at large regional scales when applied within an area-wide framework. However, there is a need to investigate its feasibility at smaller scales, e.g., for emergency responses to local fru…

Learnability of the LAHSHAL Classification for Oral Clefts: Results of an International Webinar Open
Introduction: Orofacial clefts are common congenital anomalies with significant physical, emotional, and social challenges. Classification systems like LAHSHAL aim to standardize cleft descriptions, enhancing clinical communication and res…

Between unity and disparity: current treatment protocols for common orofacial clefts in European expert centres Open
There is considerable variability in the management of common orofacial clefts across Europe, reflecting differing opinions on optimal treatments. An updated overview of treatment protocols for orofacial clefts across 26 expert centres in …
Naturally Abscised Fruitlets as a Potential Breeding Resource for Early Spring Buildup of Medfly Populations in Temperate Regions Open
The Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly), Ceratitis capitata, is considered one of the most destructive fruit pests worldwide. Female medflies prefer to lay eggs in ripening, ripe, or overripe fruits. In deciduous orchards of temperate regions…

The status of medfly and IPM practices based on case studies in Italy Open
AbstractMediterranean fruit fly (medfly) is considered one of the world’s most destructive pest. In recent years, medfly has expanded its distribution in temperate areas. With global warming, it is expected that the geographic distribution…
Individual-Based Modeling Approach to Assessment of the Impacts of Landscape Complexity and Climate on Dispersion, Detectability and Fate of Incipient Medfly Populations Open
The objective of the presented study was to demonstrate the potential of a bottom-up "ethological" approach and individual-based model of Markov-like stochastic processes, employed to gain insights into the factors driving behavior and fat…
Validation of Individual-Based Markov-Like Stochastic Process Model of Insect Behavior and a “Virtual Farm” Concept for Enhancement of Site-Specific IPM Open
The paper reports application of a Markov-like stochastic process agent-based model and a "virtual farm" concept for enhancement of site-specific Integrated Pest Management. Conceptually, the model represents a "bottom-up ethological" appr…
