Bartonella quintana in Cimex hemipterus, Rwanda [PDF]
The common bed bug species Cimex lectularius, which has a worldwide distribution, and C. hemipterus, which has tropical climate distribution, are hematophagous arthropods.1 The bugs are attracted to the human host by warmth and carbon dioxide, and bed bug infestations are rapidly increasing worldwide.

Sex‐Specific Control and Incomplete Matings: Sperm Removal Behavior in a Bush Cricket Species
In this study, we investigated which sex influences the duration of sperm removal behaviour (SRB) in the ornate bush cricket, Metaplastes ornatus. Female traits showed a weak effect on SRB duration, and lighter females mated more frequently. Frequent unsuccessful mating terminations shortened SRB indicating high level of sexual conflict.

Precopulatory mating behaviour, are important for fitness and can be disrupted by heatwave's. Here we assess how differing levels of intrasexual and intrasexual selection in precopulatory mating behaviours impacts fitness responses to heatwaves. We find that the likelihood of having a brood is impacted by differences in intrasexual and intersexual ...

The bed bug olfactory system is highly tuned to two odor sources with dedicated odor information‐processing pathways that are modulated by the satiety–hunger state. Understanding the dynamic nature of switching odor preferences at different phases of blood digestion will contribute to the development of lures with host kairomones and aggregation ...
