The Spotted Wing Drosophila (Drosophila suzukii Matsumura, 1931 - SWD) became a crucial pest of soft-skinned fruits in less than a decade in different continents, including Europe.The larvae of the polyphagous pest can develop within the fruits of several food plants, including wild and cultivated elderberry.Due to their high mobility, the imagoes
Investigating Peer and Sorting Effects within an Adaptive Multiplex Network Model
Individuals have a strong tendency to coordinate with all their neighbors on social and economics networks.Coordination is often influenced by intrinsic preferences among the available options, which drive people to associate with similar peers, i.e., homophily.Many studies reported that behind coordination game equilibria there is the individuals&
Sorghum Pan-Genome Explores the Functional Utility for Genomic-Assisted Breeding to Accelerate the Genetic Gain
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) is a staple food crops in the arid and rainfed production ecologies.Sorghum plays a critical role in resilient farming and is projected as a smart crop to overcome the food and nutritional insecurity in the developing world.The development and characterisation of the sorghum pan-genome will provide insight into genome d
