Does Rodent Management Impact the Distribution of Rattus rattus and Mastomys natalensis in Village Settings?

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Ecological differences between species may result in differential impacts of control measures. Our experimental study showed that intensive removal of rodents from houses (mostly Rattus rattus) resulted in increased use of houses by Mastomys natalensis, a species usually found outdoors. Our results suggest that M.

Efficient Masked Autoencoder for Birdsong Representation with Applications on Wild Bird Species Classification

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 ...

Paradigm Shift in the Making? Geopolitical Challenges and Institutional Changes in the International Monetary System: From Neoliberalism to a Pluralist Multipolar Financial Order

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examined the critical challenges facing the international monetary system, arguing that they have created conditions for a shift from a neoliberal framework to a pluralist multipolar financial order. Using an interdisciplinary approach that blends international law and international relations, the paper provides an analysis of the ...

Biodiversity research requires more motors in air, water and on land

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Human activities have accelerated species extinctions, driving rapid biodiversity decline. Simultaneously, advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and autonomous systems offer transformative potential for biodiversity research. Uncrewed vehicles—drones (aerial systems) and other robots (ground and underwater platforms)—equipped with high ...

Plant pathogen profiling with the EpiPvr package

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract This study introduces a flexible framework for epidemiological profiling of insect‐borne plant pathogens (IBPPs), utilising readily available experimental data. The framework is applicable to most IBPPs transmitted by insects feeding on plant veins, with particular relevance to whitefly‐borne viruses that impact cassava production in sub ...

Polarization vision and the physiological basis for trichromatic vision in Philaenus spumarius: Understanding host‐seeking behaviour in insect vectors for Xylella fastidiosa control

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
We investigated the role of vision in host‐seeking behaviour by Philaenus spumarius, the main European vector of Xylella fastidiosa, through an integrated anatomical, optical, physiological, and behavioural study. Our data highlight that the spittlebug uses visual cues, including polarized light, which may aid in detecting the polarized reflections ...
