Parasites and blood-meal hosts of the tsetse fly in Tanzania: a metagenomics study
Parasites & Vectors, 2022 Background Tsetse flies can transmit various Trypanosoma spp. that cause trypanosomiasis in humans, wild animals, and domestic animals. Amplicon deep sequencing of the 12S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene can be used to detect mammalian tsetse hosts, and the ...

Phylogenetic relationships of the Wolbachia of nematodes and arthropods [PDF]
, 2006 Wolbachia are well known as bacterial symbionts of arthropods, where they are reproductive parasites, but have also been described from nematode hosts, where the symbiotic interaction has features of mutualism.

Top-down control of herbivory by birds and bats in the canopy of temperate broad-leaved oaks (Quercus robur) [PDF]
, 2011 The intensive foraging of insectivorous birds and bats is well known to reduce the density of arboreal herbivorous arthropods but quantification of collateral leaf damage remains limited for temperate forest canopies.

The effect of urban ground covers on arthropods: An experiment [PDF]
, 2013 Changes to the ground layer in urban areas are extensive, but the effects on arthropod fauna are poorly understood. We undertook a manipulative experiment to examine the response of arthropods to small-scale variation in ground covers commonly found in ...
