Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.We identified Culex pipiens bloodmeals at the species level in natural, agricultural and peri‐urban habitats and calculated host preferences based on forage ratios. This analysis showed Passeriformes, and in particular Columba livia, Passer montanus and Turdus sp., to be the preferred Cx. pipiens hosts.

Similarities in Evasive Behavior of Wolf Spiders (Araneae: Lycosidae), American Toads (Anura: Bufonidae) and Ground Beetles (Coleopterea: Carabidae) [PDF]
, 2017 (excerpt) While collecting newly metalnorphosed American toads, Bufo anlericanus Holbrook, we have observed that they exhibited evasive behavior similar to that of adults of the wolf spiders, Pardosa saxatilis (Hentz), Pirata insularis Emerton, Pirata ...

The evolution of muscle spindles
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Muscle spindles are stretch‐sensitive mechanoreceptors found in the skeletal muscles of most four‐limbed vertebrates. They are unique amongst sensory receptors in the ability to regulate their sensitivity by contraction of the intrafusal muscle fibres on which the sensory endings lie.

Field trials of chemical suppression of embryonic cane toads (Rhinella marina) by older conspecifics
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Laboratory experiments have shown that the viability of embryos of the invasive cane toad (Rhinella marina) can be reduced by exposure to chemical cues from older conspecific larvae.

An experimental test of the importance of isolated trees for frog diversity in tropical landscapes
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 7, Page 1449-1460, July 2025.We performed the first experimental test of the importance of isolated trees for biodiversity. Our results provide evidence that isolated trees contribute to increasing total species richness and community abundance of anurans in artificial ponds, making local communities more similar to those found in ponds near forest edges.
