A Novel Invertebrate Predator on an Oceanic Island: Impacts and Invasion Dynamics of Kontikia andersoni on Macquarie Island

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
This study examines the invasion dynamics of the predatory invertebrate flatworm Kontikia andersoni, and its impacts on the invertebrate communities of sub‐Antarctic Macquarie Island. Our findings indicate that at higher elevations where K. andersoni is present there are significant reductions in invertebrate richness.

Phylogenomics reveals the timescale of diversification in Amblycera

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 540-553, July 2025.
Next‐generation sequencing changes the higher taxonomy of Amblycera (Insecta: Phthiraptera). Families Trimenoponidae and Gyropidae merge into Gyropidae; Trinotonidae is a separate family; several genera are paraphyletic. The ancestral host of Amblycera was likely a bird; Amblycera switched to mammals twice.

Some injurious scale insects. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Owing to the prevalence of a number of scale insects in various parts of the state, and as the majority of inquiries regarding insect pests which now reach the Experiment Station are concerning members of this group, a brief bulletin on them has been ...

What a jerk!

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Philosophy, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 458-474, June 2025.
Abstract I argue that “general pejoratives” such as “jerk” or “bastard” differ crucially from items such as “that damn N”. While items such as the latter typically serve to give vent to one's attitudes, general pejoratives essentially involve judgments about a person's behaviour or character.

Brine shrimp lethality test as a biological model for preliminary selection of pediculicidal components from natural source

open access: yesBioscience Journal, 2013
Brine shrimp lethality test as a biological model for the preliminary selection of pediculicidal components from a natural source. In order to achieve a good correlation between pediculicidal activity and brine shrimp lethality (BSL) test, several ...

Environmental and health associations with parasite presence on a coastal sentinel, the little penguin

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2025, Issue 5, May 2025.
Seabird health is linked to their marine and terrestrial environments, but health–environment relationships are rarely described. Parasites are common among seabird colonies, however reductions to seabird health may occur if the delicate parasite–host relationship is imbalanced.

Radiation of the bark louse genus Kilauella across the Hawaiian Islands [PDF]

open access: yes
Island systems serve as important models for studies of evolutionary processes and speciation. The Hawaiian Island group is one of the most isolated island chains in the world, and many groups of insects have undergone dramatic diversification within ...
