Differential gene expression is not required for facultative sex allocation: a transcriptome analysis of brain tissue in the parasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis.
Female Nasonia facultatively vary their offspring sex ratio in line with Hamilton’s theory of Local Mate Competition (LMC). A single female or “foundress” laying eggs on a patch will lay just enough sons to fertilise her daughters. As the number of “foundresses” laying eggs on a patch increases (and...
The use of biofertilizers is becoming an economical and environmentally friendly alternative to promote sustainable agriculture. Biochar from microalgae can be applied to enhance the productivity of food crops through soil improvement, slow nutrient absorption and release, increased water uptake, an...
