Retrogressive Thaw Slumps Produce a Changing Disturbance Regime for Arctic Stream Invertebrates

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
Climate change is causing permafrost to thaw, resulting in the formation of large craters in the ground called thaw slumps, which deposit sediments and nutrients into rivers and continually impact stream ecosystems over time. We returned to slump impacted streams 10 years after an initial sample period and found that slumps permanently change streams ...

Redescription of the pupa of Mallochohelea termophila (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae)

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2012
The pupal exuviae of Mallochohelea termophila (Spinelli) is redescribed, photographed and illustrated mainly based on the type-series. Pupae of the type-series were collected with forceps from a thermal stream and were attached to rocks about 200 m from ...

Culicoides species involved in the BTV‐3 epidemic, the Netherlands, 2023–2024

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 111-122, March 2026.
A high amount of Culicoides‐midges were captured using Onderstepoort light traps on farms with animals infected with bluetongue serotype 3 (BTV‐3) at the beginning of the outbreak in 2023. Species, sex and parity of the captured Culicoides‐midges were morphologically determined and gravid and parous Culicoides‐midges have been selected and pooled for ...

Molecular Screening of Black Flies (Diptera: Simuliidae) for Vector‐Borne Zoonotic Pathogens, South Moravia, Czech Republic

open access: yesZoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 95-106, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Black flies (Simuliidae) are globally distributed blood‐feeding arthropods and vectors of viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens to many animal species, including humans. We investigated the occurrence of selected vector‐borne pathogens in black flies in South Moravia, Czech Republic, and evaluated their possible role in the ...

Amphibian Strategies Against Attacks by Flies: Host‐Specificity and Threats

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Species interactions between Diptera flies and amphibians play a significant role in tropical ecosystems, but their ecology and evolution remain understudied. This review explores the costs flies impose on amphibians, such as pathogen transmission and disruption of communication systems, and highlights the evolutionary strategies employed by both ...

Polychromophilus spp. (Haemosporida: Plasmodiidae): First Molecular Detection in Bat Flies From Brazilian Bats

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 137-150, January 2026.
This study identifies Polychromophilus sp. in blood‐feeding flies (Basilia speiseri and Basilia lindolphoi) from Myotis nigricans bats in Brazil, marking the first molecular detection of the parasite in an insect vector in this country. Two haplotypes were identified, both within the Polychromophilus murinus group.
