Agroecological effect and sexual shape dimorphism in medfly Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae) an example in Croatian populations
Lemic, Darija; Benítez, Hugo A.; Bjeliš, Mario; Ordenes, Rodrigo; Ninčević, Pave; Mikac, Katarina M.; Pajač Živković, Ivana (2020)The Mediterranean fruit fly or medfly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann, 1824) is one of the most economically important fruit flies globally. Geometric morphometric methods based on principal component analyses, multivariate ...

Assessing the influence of allometry on sexual and non-sexual traits: An example in Cicindelidia trifasciata (Coleoptera: Cicindelinae) using geometric morphometrics
Espinoza-Donoso, Sebastián; Angulo-Bedoya, Mónica; Lemic, Darija; Benítez, Hugo A. (2020)Based on a quantitative mathematical revolution, the study of morphology has had an important emphasis by developing statistical shape analysis. This made possible the combination of multivariate statistical methods and ...

Assessing the population structure of colorado potato beetle populations in Croatia using genetic and geometric morphometric
Kadoić Balaško, Martina; Bažok, Renata; Mikac, Katarina M.; Benítez, Hugo A.; Correa, Margarita; Lemic, Darija (2022)The Colorado potato beetle (CPB, Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say) is one of the most successful invasive species worldwide. It has been present in Croatia since 1947, where it has caused significant damage to potato plants ...

Breaking symmetry. Fluctuating asymmetry and geometric morphometrics as tools for evaluating developmental instability under diverse agroecosystems
Benítez, Hugo A.; Lemic, Darija; Villalobos-Leiva, Amado; Bazok, Renata; Ordenes, Rodrigo; Pajač Živković, Ivana; Mikac, Katarina M. (2020)Fluctuating asymmetry (FA), in contrast with other asymmetries, is the bilateral asymmetry that represents small, random developmental differences between right and left sides. After nearly a century of using traditional ...

Exploratory analysis of color forms’ variability in the invasive asian lady beetle Harmonia axyridis (Pallas 1773)
Lemic, Darija; Pajač Živković, Ivana; Šuliček, Matea; Benítez, Hugo A. (2021)The Asian ladybird (Harmonia axyridis Pallas), native to Asia, is one of the 100 most invasive species in the world and has spread worldwide. This study aimed to characterize color forms of H. axyridis in Croatia and to ...

Unraveling the morphological variation of Triatoma infestans in the peridomestic hHabitats of Chuquisaca Bolivia: A geometric morphometric approach
Vilaseca, Carolina; Méndez, Marco Antonio; Pinto, Carlos F.; Lemic, Darija; Benítez, Hugo A. (2021)Morphometrics has been used on Triatomines, a well-known phenotypically variable insect, to understand the process of morphological plasticity and infer the changes of this phenomenon. The following research was carried ...

Wing shape variation between terrestrial and coastal populations of the invasive box tree moth, Cydalima perspectalis, in Croatia
Lemic, Darija; Viric Gasparic, Helena; Majcenic, Patricija; Pajač Živković, Ivana; Bjeliš, Mario; Suazo, Manuel J; Correa, Margarita; Hernández, Jordan; Benítez, Hugo A. (2023)The box tree moth (Cydalima perspectalis Walker, 1859; Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is an invasive species naturally distributed in Asia. The caterpillars in all developmental stages cause damage through defoliation of plants, ...
