Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2020 Here, we present first draft genome sequence of the trypanosomatid Herpetomonas muscarum ingenoplastis. This parasite was isolated repeatedly in the black blowfly, Phormia regina, and it forms a phylogenetically distinct clade in the Trypanosomatidae ...

Contrast sensitivity of insect motion detectors to natural images [PDF]
, 2008 How do animals regulate self-movement despite large variation in the luminance contrast of the environment? Insects are capable of regulating flight speed based on the velocity of image motion, but the mechanisms for this are unclear.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 6, Page 579-588, June 2026.It is unknown why males of the parasitoid wasp Nasonia giraulti produce large amounts of a costly sex pheromone although they were long thought to mate with their females already before emergence within the host. Mated females do no longer respond to the pheromone.

The correlation between wing kinematics and steering muscle activity in the blowfly Calliphora vicina [PDF]
, 2001 Determining how the motor patterns of the nervous system are converted into the mechanical and behavioral output of the body is a central goal in the study of locomotion.

Neuromuscular control of aerodynamic forces and moments in the blowfly, Calliphora vicina [PDF]
, 2004 Flies are among the most agile of flying insects, a capacity that ultimately results from their nervous system's control over steering muscles and aerodynamic forces during flight.

Hypotheses for the Adaptive Maintenance of Phenotypic Polymorphisms
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Phenotypic polymorphisms offer easily observable diversity ideal for empirical and theoretical exploration, but developing and comparing hypotheses for the adaptive maintenance of polymorphism can be a challenge. Here, we propose a framework categorizing polymorphisms based on (i) one of five distinct types of maintenance selection and (ii) the context

GPS-ABC: Gaussian Process Surrogate Approximate Bayesian Computation [PDF]
, 2014 Scientists often express their understanding of the world through a computationally demanding simulation program. Analyzing the posterior distribution of the parameters given observations (the inverse problem) can be extremely challenging.

A Comparative Study of iDNA and airDNA for Biodiversity Assessments in Tropical Forest Fragments
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.Comparing invertebrate‐derived DNA and airborne eDNA across fragmented tropical forests, we show that iDNA recovers higher vertebrate richness from fewer samples, while airDNA offers greater field reliability. Together, both methods capture functional diversity gradients, supporting a combined approach for agroforestry biodiversity monitoring ...
