Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Bti application altered tropical stream food‐web structure through changes in macroinvertebrate functional feeding groups. Collector‐filterers and predators showed context‐dependent responses, with clearer direct and indirect effects detected in 2016, the year with higher rainfall.

Monitoring of Putative Vectors of Bluetongue Virus Serotype 8, Germany
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 To identify the vectors of bluetongue virus (BTV) in Germany, we monitored Culicoides spp. biting midges during April 2007–May 2008. Molecular characterization of batches of midges that tested positive for BTV suggests C.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Here, we used a unique 37‐year (1969–2006) freshwater macroinvertebrate time‐series, collected over seven sites in central Germany, to study biodiversity patterns and species accumulation over time. Accumulation curves of Diptera diversity have not reached a plateau in 37 years of sampling.

Design and optimisation of rapid real‐time PCR assays for the detection of key Culicoides species
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.Species‐specific real‐time PCR assays were designed and optimised using primer/probe sets targeting C. obsoletus, C. scoticus, C. chiopterus, C. dewulfi, C. pulicaris, C. punctatus and C. impunctatus. Primer specificity and amplification efficiency were validated through in silico specificity analysis and real‐time PCR amplification profiling.

Come together: Data sharing to support one health responses to vector‐borne disease threats
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.A One Health framework integrating diverse data across human, animal and environmental sectors is essential for effective surveillance and response is vital for responding to vector‐borne disease risks. Communities adopting global data standards, depositing data in shared repositories, and responsible data use can significantly improve VBD data ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 512-529, September 2026.In two‐choice laboratory bioassays, food‐deprived and CO2‐stimulated stable flies were offered paired landing platforms that were baited or not (control) with conspecific flies. The presence of conspecifics prompted the attraction and landing of foraging stable flies.

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 560-567, September 2026.Culicoides biting midges were collected at a donkey sanctuary in the United Kingdom using UV light‐suction traps. Culicoides were found in abundance and all specimens were identified to species level. Blood‐feeding on donkeys was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing of host bloodmeals. Donkeys could play a significant role in the
