Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Research on mosquito feeding preferences and the malaria parasites they transmit is essential for understanding the interactions between hosts, vectors, and parasites. In this study, vertebrate hosts were identified in 72 mosquitoes. Most blood meals (58.7%) came from birds, representing 25 species, while 40.0% came from mammals (13 species), and 1.3 ...

The ultrasonic nonlinearity parameter for biological media
Archives of Acoustics, 2015 The nonlinearity parameter B/A of several soft tissues was measured using two independent methods. The B/A values of most soft tissues were found to be between 7 and 8, with the exception of fat which has a B/A value close to 11.

Acoustic indices are not useful for biodiversity research
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Biodiversity assessment using passive acoustic monitoring has historically been challenging due to the limited availability of multi‐species acoustic detectors. In this context, acoustic indices were introduced as an alternative way to represent species diversity in acoustic datasets.
