I'm trying to cite two different papers that share the same author and were published in the same year. Here is an example:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[    backend=biber,
            style=authoryear,
            sorting=nyt,
            useprefix=true, 
            sortlocale=de_DE,
            natbib=true,
            doi=false,
            isbn=false,
            maxcitenames=2, 
            maxbibnames=99,
            eprint=false]
            {biblatex}
\usepackage{filecontents}

\begin{filecontents*}{general.bib}
@article{giacometti16a,
author = "Giacometti, R. and Zavala, J.A. and Gog, L.",
year = {2016},
pages = {68-77},
title =  {Anthropogenic increase in carbon dioxide modifies plant–insect interactions},
journal = {Annals of Applied Biology},
volume={170},
number={1},
doi = {10.1111/aab.12319}
}
@article{giacometti16b,
author = "Giacometti, R. and Barneto, J. and Barriga, L. G and Sardoy, P.M. and Balestrasse, K. and Andrade, A.M and Pagano, E.A and Alemano, S.G and Zavala, J.A.",
title = {Early perception of stink bug damage in developing seeds of field-grown soybean induces chemical defences and reduces bug attack},
journal = {Pest Management Science},
volume = {72},
number = {8},
pages = {1585-1594},
keywords = {herbivory, jasmonic acid, MAPK signalling, plant–insect interactions, salicylic acid, Glycine max L, Nezara viridula L},
doi = {10.1002/ps.4192},
url = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/ps.4192},
eprint = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/ps.4192},
year = {2016}
}
@article{thomma01,
title = "The complexity of disease signaling in Arabidopsis",
journal = "Current Opinion in Immunology",
volume = "13",
number = "1",
pages = "63 - 68",
year = "2001",
issn = "0952-7915",
doi = "https://doi.org/10.1016/S0952-7915(00)00183-7",
url = "http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0952791500001837",
author = "Thomma, B.P and Penninckx, I.A. and Cammue, C.P.  and Broekaert, W.F.",
keywords = "Arabidopsis thaliana, salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, ethylene, biotroph, necrotroph",
abstract = "Not more than 10 years ago it was generally accepted that pathogen-inducible defense mechanisms in plants are triggered through a central signaling cascade that regulates a multicomponent defense response. Now we know that the plant defense system is regulated through a complex network of various signaling cascades."
}
\end{filecontents*}

\addbibresource{general.bib}

\nocite{*}

\begin{document}

As is saying in \parencite{giacometti16a},  \parencite{giacometti16b} and in \parencite{thomma01}

\printbibliography

\end{document}

And this is how latex make my pdf:

As you may have noticed, when two paper share the same author and year, biblatex cites the first and second author (Giacomettis´s references) But I don't want to differentiate these twins references that way, I want only the first author to be cited and then the year with a letter "a" for the first paper and with a letter "b" for the second paper. Here is an example:

Does anyone know how can I fix this issue?

    Add uniquelist=false to your biblatex options. Do you also want to remove et al.? You have removed it for Giacometti, but left it in for Thomma. – David Purton Mar 18 '19 at 23:52
  • If you don't want to get rid of the "et al.", i.e. you want "Giacometti et al.", this is a duplicate of https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/69028/35864. If you want to get rid of the et al. it would help if you could explain the rule behind deleting/keeping the "et al." – moewe Mar 19 '19 at 05:44
  • I forget to put "et al" in Giacometti example because I put this manually. I mean, I want in this way: (Giacometti et al, 2016a) and (Giacometti et al, 201b)! – Gerardo Irigoyen Mar 19 '19 at 11:49
  • Then uniquelist=false as suggested by David and explained in https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/69028/35864 should help you. – moewe Mar 19 '19 at 11:53
  • Yes, it works perfectly! Thanks moewe! – Gerardo Irigoyen Mar 19 '19 at 12:03
  • Very well. Can we close this as a duplicate, then? – moewe Mar 19 '19 at 12:05

    Yes, no problem. Sorry for duplicate this question! – Gerardo Irigoyen Mar 19 '19 at 12:08
  • Please don't apologise for asking good duplicate questions. (Apart from the confusion about the "et al.") this was a very good question with clear MWE and explanations. The duplicate is very hard to find if you don't know the answer already or hit exactly the same search terms as the original question. – moewe Mar 19 '19 at 12:10
  • Thanks again! I really appreciate your contribution :) – Gerardo Irigoyen Mar 19 '19 at 12:20
