Pathogenic variation of Mycosphaerella species infecting banana and plantain in Nigeria by Zandjanakou-Tachin, Martine, Ojiambo, P., Vroh Bi, Irie, Tenkouano, A., Gumedzoe, M.Y.D., Bandyopadhyay, Ranajit

“…Shannon’s index (H) revealed a more diverse Mycosphaerella collection in the DS zone (H = 1Æ81) than in the HF (H = 1Æ50) zone, with M. fijiensis being more diverse than M. eumusae. These results describe the current pathotype structure of Mycosphaerella in Nigeria and provide a useful resource that will facilitate screening of newly developed Musa genotypes for resistance against two important leaf spot diseases of banana and plantain.…”

Females as intraguild predators of males in crosspairing experiments with phytoseiid mites by Sourassou, N.F., Hanna, R., Negloh, K., Breeuwer, J.A., Sabelis, M.

“…We propose that niche competition between related phytoseiid species is not only determined by intraguild predation on heterospecific larvae, but also by imposing great mortality on males from the intraguild prey because phytoseiid females being pseudo-arrhenotokous require insemination to produce offspring of both sexes.…”
