A transgenic male-only strain of the New World screwworm for an improved control program using the sterile insect technique
BMC Biology, 14(1).
TL;DR:
It is concluded that the promising characteristics of the selected sexing strains may contribute to reduce production costs for the existing eradication program and provide more efficient population suppression, which should make a genetic control program more economical in regions were C. hominivorax remains endemic.

Artificial selection on chill-coma recovery time in Drosophila melanogaster: Direct and correlated responses to selection
JOURNAL OF THERMAL BIOLOGY, 59, 77–85.
author keywords: Cross-tolerance; Chill-coma recovery; Drosophila melanogaster; Artificial selection
MeSH headings : Acclimatization; Animal Nutritional Physiological Phenomena; Animals; Breeding; Cold Temperature; Cold-Shock Response; Drosophila melanogaster / genetics; Drosophila melanogaster / physiology; Female; Male; Phenotype; Selection, Genetic; Stress, Physiological
TL;DR:
The results suggest that although artificial selection has dramatically altered chill-coma recovery time, the correlated response to selection on other stress response phenotypes has been negligible, and the lack of a correlated response suggests that chill- COMA recovery time in these selection lines is likely genetically independent from measures of cold survivorship tested here.

JOURNAL OF VIROLOGY, 90(8), 4160–4173.
TL;DR:
The discovery of two novel DNA sequences, designated SEGs-1 and SEGS-2 (for sequences enhancing geminivirus symptoms), that enhance symptoms and break resistance to CMD have major implications for the long-term durability of CMD2 resistance and underscore the need for alternative sources of resistance in cassava.
