Rickettsial pathogens and arthropod vectors of medical and veterinary significance on Kwajalein Atoll and Wake Island [PDF]
Modern surveys of ectoparasites and potential vector-borne pathogens in the Republic of the Marshall Islands and Wake Island are poorly documented. We report on field surveys of ectoparasites from 2010 with collections from dogs, cats, and rats.

A parasitological study was undertaken to determine the health status of 15 mouse and 10 rat colonies bred in 18 Brazilian laboratory animal houses maintained under different sanitary barrier conditions which supply animals for teaching, research ...

Abstract Biological collections are fundamental resources for biodiversity research, although they remain underutilised in many taxonomic efforts. In this study, we examine specimens deposited in the Entomological Collection of the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo (MZSP) to describe a new genus and species of cricket belonging to the ...

Digging for answers: contributions of density- and frequency-dependent factors on ectoparasite burden in a social mammal [PDF]
Due to the density-dependent nature of parasite transmission parasites are generally assumed to constrain the evolution of sociality. However, evidence for a correlation between group size and parasite burden is equivocal, particularly for mammals.

Schematic representation of the experimental settings for one field type. Each setting was assigned one of the three treatments (i.e., walls, floors, or control). Each treatment contained an AudioMoth™ (circle), either positioned close to the ground (5 cm) or elevated (60 cm), acting as a receiver organism. Abstract Sensory ecology theory proposes that

Expansion rate & dispersal pattern of the non-native Roesel’s bush-cricket in Sweden [PDF]
Environmental change and anthropogenic activities influence species distributions. Species introductions have become increasingly common in an era of globalization and increased international trade and travel.

Modelling the distribution of the invasive Roesel’s bushcricket (Metrioptera roeselii) in a fragmented landscape [PDF]
The development of conservation strategies to mitigate the impact of invasive species requires knowledge of the species ecology and distribution. This is, however, often lacking as collecting biological data may be both time-consuming and resource ...

Pollination ecology in the tropical Andes: moving towards a cross‐scale approach
ABSTRACT Plant–pollinator interactions structure ecological communities and represent a key component of ecosystem functioning. Pollination networks are expected to be more diverse and specialised in the tropics, but pollination ecology in these regions has been understudied in comparison to other areas.
