Culex quinquefasciatus: status as a threat to island avifauna and options for genetic control by Tim Harvey-Samuel, Thomas Ant, Jolene Sutton, Chris N. Niebuhr, Samoa Asigau, Patricia Parker, Steven Sinkins, Luke Alphey

“…With Cx. quinquefasciatus now present in many insular communities and global trade and tourism increasing links between these areas, both to each other and to mainlands, there is growing concern that patterns of avian decline in Hawai‘i may be played out in other insular ecosystems. The implementation of traditional methods for Cx. quinquefasciatus control, including larval source management, is often impractical at large scale and when breeding sites are numerous and difficult to locate—typical issues associated with invasive species removal. …”

La conservation hermétique des céréales : comment les avancées de la recherche ont été ignorées au XXe siècle en France by Fleurat-Lessard Francis

“…À partir de 1960, pour faire face aux nombreuses avaries dues à l’échauffement des grains stockés trop humides, des laboratoires spécialisés dans l’étude des facteurs de détérioration des grains stockés ont été constitués dans tous les pays développés producteurs de céréales, avec un même objectif : améliorer la connaissance sur le fonctionnement dynamique de l’écosystème du stock de céréales. À partir des années 1970, ces groupements de chercheurs se sont organisés en équipes pluridisciplinaires venant présenter régulièrement leurs résultats dans des conférences internationales. …”
