Biomechanics of jumping in the flea [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2011 SUMMARY It has long been established that fleas jump by storing and releasing energy in a cuticular spring, but it is not known how forces from that spring are transmitted to the ground. One hypothesis is that the recoil of the spring pushes the trochanter onto the ground, thereby generating the jump.

Veterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.Abstract A 1‐year‐old, male, neutered, American domestic shorthair cat was presented for a 1‐week history of lethargy and anorexia. The presenting clinical signs and complete blood count were consistent with anaemia, requiring a packed red blood cell transfusion.

The evolution of sensitive periods beyond early ontogeny: Bridging theory and data
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Sensitive periods, in which experiences have a large impact on phenotypic development, are most common early in ontogeny. Yet, they may also occur at later ontogenetic stages, such as adolescence.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014 Background/aimsArthropod-borne pathogens are transmitted into a unique intradermal microenvironment that includes the saliva of their vectors. Immunomodulatory factors in the saliva can enhance infectivity; however, in some cases the immune response that

Quantifying phenotypic plasticity: A call for consistency
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The interest of evolutionary, functional and applied ecologists in the study of phenotypic plasticity has grown considerably in recent decades. From being considered irrelevant in the mid‐20th century, phenotypic plasticity is now considered ubiquitous and essential for

Insecticide Resistance in Fleas [PDF]
Insects, 2016 Fleas are the major ectoparasite of cats, dogs, and rodents worldwide and potential vectors of animal diseases. In the past two decades the majority of new control treatments have been either topically applied or orally administered to the host. Most reports concerning the development of insecticide resistance deal with the cat flea, Ctenocephalides ...

Urban developmental environments alter tadpole phenotypes depending on origin
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Urbanisation has rapidly altered the ecological and evolutionary contexts for many species. Using a reciprocal transplant experiment with frog larvae, we find that urban environments can alter morphological, developmental and behavioural traits at both ecological and evolutionary scales.
