Behav Processes 72:1-5. 2006..Although this 'mafia-like' strategy remains poorly documented, we believe that it has substantial potential to resolve issues specific to the evolution of behavioural alterations induced by parasites...

Trends Parasitol 23:299-302. 2007..These findings are a major contribution to the emerging debate on the pros and cons of a coevolutionary approach of virulence evolution; they also hold great potential for more effective control strategies...
Population proteomics: an emerging discipline to study metapopulation ecologyDavid G Biron
GEMI UMR CNRS IRD 2724, Equipe Evolution des Systèmes Symbiotiques, IRD, Montpellier, France
Proteomics 6:1712-5. 2006..In this Viewpoint, we present the reasons why we think that proteomics, because of the level of integration it promotes, has the potential to resolve interesting issues specific to metapopulation biology and adaptive processes...
