estimation of the effective number of founders that initiate an infection after aphid transmission of a multipartite plant virus.	the fecundity of rna viruses can be very high. thus, it is often assumed that viruses have large populations, and rna virus evolution has been mostly explained using purely deterministic models. however, population bottlenecks during the virus life cycle could result in effective population numbers being much smaller than reported censuses, and random genetic drift could be important in virus evolution. a step at which population bottlenecks may be severe is host-to-host transmission. we report ...	2008	18842732
seasonal phenology and species composition of the aphid fauna in a northern crop production area.	the species diversity of aphids and seasonal timing of their flight activity can have significant impacts on crop production, as aphid species differ in their ability to transmit plant viruses and flight timing affects virus epidemiology. the aim of the study was to characterise the species composition and phenology of aphid fauna in finland in one of the northernmost intensive crop production areas of the world (latitude 64°).	2013	23967149
