Gel bait aversion resistance in the German cockroach: Toxicological and evolutionary considerations

M.E. Scharf and C.-L. Wang | Full Paper | 2005

Insecticide resistance in insects is a well-documented phenomenon that is equally related to toxicology and evolutionary biology. Insecticide resistance in the German cockroach has a long history dating back over 60 years. Thus, the recent evolution of gel bait aversion resistance is but one example...

Application of molecular genomics in addressing questions on termite biology

M.E. Scharf , X.G. Zhou and G.W. Bennett | Full Paper | 2005

In termites, the mechanisms underlying caste differentiation and related physiological processes have remained elusive. To address this problem, we undertook a genomic research program that uses the common U.S. termite Reticulitermes flavipes Kollar as a model. These studies have allowed us to uncov...
