Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) signaling regulates fluid excretion and uric acid metabolism in the mosquito Anopheles gambiae

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) signaling via its receptor has integral roles in mosquito physiology, mediating fluid excretion, stimulating hindgut contractions, and in modulating uric acid levels. Together, these results uncover previously unrecognized roles of prostaglandin signaling in osmotic balance and metabolic homeostasis in mosquitoes.

Host desiccation and interspecific competition limit reproductive performance of a bark beetle

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
At high and moderate phloem moisture levels, Polygraphus proximus reproductive success was suppressed by sympatric species density. At low phloem moisture, P. proximus reproductive success was suppressed by the low phloem moisture regardless of the Cryphalus laricis hole density. Conspecific density (i.e., attack density of P.

IRT‐based response style models and related methodology: Review and commentary

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract We provide a review and commentary on recent methodological research related to item response theory (IRT) modelling of response styles in psychological measurement. Our review describes the different categories of IRT models that have been proposed, their associated assumptions and extensions, and the varying purposes they can serve.
