Deciphering the sense of smell in the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii (DROSMELL)
Start date: Mar 1, 2015, End date: Feb 28, 2017,
The spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii, is an invasive polyphagous pest endemic to South East Asia. It has recently invaded western countries where it has become a threatening pest for cultivated small fruits. Unlike most others Drosophila species, whose larvae feed on decaying plant, D. suzukii lays its egg on unwounded ripening fruits. Host selection arises from oviposition behaviours o ...

Staff Exchanges to estimate vegetation structure and biochemistry from remote sensing in connection to carbon and water fluxes (SENSORVEG)
Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2014,
Remote sensing can provide systematic global estimations of vegetation structure and biochemistry imparting data such as leaf area index (LAI), water content or fractional light interception by green vegetation (fPAR). However a global network of standardize validation sites is required to reduce the uncertainty of these products. As part of that effort, SpecNet (Spectral Network), an independent ...
