A Simple and Efficient Tool for Trapping Gravid Anopheles at Breeding Sites. [PDF]

, 2011
No effective tool currently exists for trapping ovipositing malaria vectors. This creates a gap in our ability to investigate the behavior and ecology of gravid Anopheles.\ud Here we describe a simple trap that collects ovipositing Anopheline and ...

Emerging parasites and vectors in a rapidly changing world: from ecology to management

, 2023
Global changes have influenced our societies in several ways with both positive (e.g., technology, transportation, and food security), and negative impacts (e.g., mental health problems, spread of diseases, and pandemics).

Plant functional connectivity - integrating landscape structure and effective dispersal [PDF]

, 2017
1. Dispersal is essential for species to survive the threats of habitat destruction and climate change. Combining descriptions of dispersal ability with those of landscape structure, the concept of functional connectivity has been popular for ...

What's hot and what's not – Identifying publication trends in insect ecology

, 2021
Research disciplines in science have historically developed in silos but are increasingly multidisciplinary. Here, we assessed how the insect ecology literature published in ecological and entomological journals has developed over the last 20 years and ...

Linking individual phenotype to density-dependent population growth: the influence of body size on the population dynamics of malaria vectors [PDF]

, 2011
Understanding the endogenous factors that drive the population dynamics of malaria mosquitoes will facilitate more accurate predictions about vector control effectiveness and our ability to destabilize the growth of either low- or high-density insect ...

Odour-mediated oviposition-site selection by mosquitoes

, 2022
The exploration of the chemical ecology of oviposition behaviour in mosquitoes provides the means to describe the role of volatile organic compounds used by gravid mosquitoes to secure intrinsic fitness.

Broad-Host-Range Shuttle Vectors for Screening of Regulated Promoter Activity in Viridans Group Streptococci: Isolation of a pH-Regulated Promoter [PDF]

, 2000
Viridans group streptococci are major constituents of the normal human oral flora and are also identified as the predominant pathogenic bacteria in native valve infective endocarditis.

Cell geometry and membrane protein crowding constrain Escherichia coli growth rate, overflow metabolism, respiration, and maintenance energy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

Acoustic communication in insect disease vectors [PDF]

, 2013
Acoustic signalling has been extensively studied in insect species, which has led to a better understanding of sexual communication, sexual selection and modes of speciation.
