The first detection of a population of Aedes aegypti in the Atlantic Forest in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Tropical Zoology, 2020
Aedes aegypti is almost completely restricted to human-modified environments, especially urban areas, and rarely invades forests. Ovitraps were utilized in a reserve (Bom Retiro) in Rio de Janeiro state. Eggs of A.

New records of associations between species of Reduviidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) and plants in Argentina

Revista Chilena de Entomología, 2022
Almost all reduviids are predators; however, recent observations have shown that certain reduviids, particularly members of tribe Harpactorini (Harpactorinae) may be associated with specific plants as a strategy of predation and complementary nectarivory.

Recently Evolved, Stage‐Specific Genes Are Enriched at Life‐Stage Transitions in Flies

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
We discovered that 20%–30% of protein‐coding genes in Drosophila melanogaster and Aedes aegypti are only expressed during specific stages of development. Surprisingly, many of these stage‐specific genes are newly evolved, unique to flies and mosquitoes, shedding light on how insect development has evolved over time.

Mosquito fauna (Diptera: Culicidae) in phytotelmata environments of the Guapiaçu Ecological Reserve, Cachoeiras de Macacu, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
IntroductionPhytotelmata are plant structures that collect and retain water, serving as natural larval habitats. Certain species of culicids utilize these water-holding structures for larval development, playing a crucial role in water retention and ...

Co‐presence of black soldier fly frass, soil‐biodegradable mulch films, and earthworms: effects on film biodegradation, ecotoxicity, and microbial community

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Soil‐biodegradable mulch films (SBF) are used increasingly to enhance crop yields while addressing soil pollution and disposal issues. Another sustainable practice gaining attention is the use of soil amendments derived from waste, such as insect frass from Hermetia illucens.
