Comparing species accumulation within taxonomically well‐ and poorly resolved insect groups over 37 years

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Here, we used a unique 37‐year (1969–2006) freshwater macroinvertebrate time‐series, collected over seven sites in central Germany, to study biodiversity patterns and species accumulation over time. Accumulation curves of Diptera diversity have not reached a plateau in 37 years of sampling.

Chemical cues affect behaviour in fish lice (Argulus spp.) and three‐spined stickleback hosts (Gasterosteus aculeatus)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract We found evidence of mutual recognition of chemical cues between fish lice (Argulus spp.) and three‐spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus). Each manifested changes in movement in response to chemical cues from one another; Argulus increased speed while G. aculeatus decreased theirs.

Assessment of Salinity Tolerance in Lepeophtheirus salmonis Following Five Generations of Freshwater Treatment Selection

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Non‐medicinal approaches for controlling sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) infestations, such as freshwater (FW) treatments, have been increasingly implemented to support more sustainable parasite control in aquaculture. This study evaluated the efficacy of FW treatment against sea lice under controlled experimental conditions and assessed ...

Vaccination against ectoparasites

open access: yesParasitology, 2006
Ectoparasites of livestock are of great economic and social importance but their effective control remains difficult. The feasibility of vaccination as a novel control measure was established over a decade ago with the commercial release of a recombinant vaccine against the cattle tickBoophilus microplus. Since then, research has continued on ticks and
