Flea‘in Around: A Look at the Identification, Preservation, Clearing, and Mounting of Siphonaptera [PDF]
Fleas are remarkable and highly specialized insects, with no part of their external anatomy being easily mistaken for that of any other insect. Due to their small size, the subtle differences among the distinguishing morphological characteristics of each

Abstract Zooplankton‐associated microbiomes play an important role for host health, and contribute to ecosystem processes such as nutrient cycling. Yet, few studies have assessed how environmental gradients and biotic interactions, including parasitism and diet, may shape the microbiome composition of wild zooplankton. Here, we analyzed the microbiomes

Three's a crowd: The relationship among endoparasites, an epibiont and their Daphnia host
In freshwater communities, organisms interact in a variety of ways, including predation, competition and parasitism. Parasites are ubiquitous, playing an important role in shaping freshwater communities. Endoparasites live within internal organs of their host, while ectoparasites, also known as epibionts, are confined to the external part of the host's

Survey of vector-borne agents in feral cats and first report of Babesia gibsoni in cats on St Kitts, West Indies [PDF]
Background: As there is little data on vector-borne diseases of cats in the Caribbean region and even around the world, we tested feral cats from St Kitts by PCR to detect infections with Babesia, Ehrlichia and spotted fever group Rickettsia (SFGR) and

The Landsman-Reuvers proposal to solve the measurement problem from within quantum theory is extensively analysed. In favor of proposals of this kind, it is shown that the standard reasoning behind objections to solving the measurement problem from within quantum theory rely on counterfactual reasoning or mathematical idealisations.

Schematic diagram of the single and dual RPA‐CRISPR/Cas12a/13a diagnostic assays for the detection of Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii and Maize dwarf mosaic virus. The validated assays provide a useful and sensitive molecular tool for detecting two quarantine pathogens of maize within a minimal resource framework suitable for fast‐tracking the ...

Attraction of cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) to host plant odors
Oilseed rape (Brassica napus, OSR) cultivation in Europe is threatened by the cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala, CSFB). Limited management options due to resistance and environmental concerns necessitate innovative control strategies. This study explores CSFB responses to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by host and non‐host ...
