Highly Expressed Odorant Receptor Orthologs Detect the Aggregation Pheromone Lineatin in Trypodendron Ambrosia Beetles

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical communication using pheromones is crucial for the reproductive success of many insect species, including beetles (Coleoptera). Pheromones are detected by specialised odorant receptors (ORs), called pheromone receptors (PRs), in the sensory neurons of the antennae.

Abstract Around the globe, beginner sign language programs have seen surging enrolments in recent years. Yet relatively few learners progress to higher‐level sign language study. In this article, we explore factors shaping retention and attrition among a cohort of 70 beginner Australian Sign Language (Auslan) students studying in a vocational education

Morphological and molecular data on the bat flies, Basilia silvae (Brèthes, 1913) and Trichobius parasiticus Gervais, 1844 parasitizing Chilean bats

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
We determined morphological and molecularly two species of bat flies: T. parasiticus (Streblidae), and B. silvae (Nycteribiidae). We generated the first sequences for both species in the country for the cytochrome oxidase subunit I. We do recover monophyletic groups for both species, and we discussed the tree topology.

Bayesian population‐based assessment of ascertainment bias in flea‐borne typhus surveillance in California, 2011–2019

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Although flea‐borne typhus is historically associated with poorer living conditions, FBT surveillance reporting is associated with greater socioeconomic advantage at the population level. FBT surveillance may be biased towards socioeconomic advantage in its ascertainment of surveillance data.
