Rather than benefiting wild fish, industrial aquaculture may contribute to declines in ocean fisheries and ecosystems. Farm salmon are commonly infected with salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis), which are native ectoparasitic copepods. We show that recurrent louse infestations of wild juvenile pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha), all associated with salmon farms, have depressed wild pink sal...

Let OX (resp. DX) be the sheaf of holomorphic functions (resp. the sheaf of linear differential operators with holomorphic coefficients) on X = C. Let D ⊂ X be a locally weakly quasi-homogeneous free divisor defined by a polynomial f . In this paper we prove that, locally, the annihilating ideal of 1/f over DX is generated by linear differential operators of order 1 (for k big enough). For this...

The pink bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders), is one of the most serious pests of cotton worldwide causing losses in both yield and quality. Control with conventional insecticides is difficult because the pest is well protected within cotton squares and bolls. Furthermore insecticide costs are high and applications of broad-spectrum materials have contributed to outbreaks of secondary...
