Interaction between Varroa destructor and imidacloprid reduces flight capacity of honeybees. [PDF]

Proc Biol Sci, 2015
Current high losses of honeybees seriously threaten crop pollination. Whereas parasite exposure is acknowledged as an important cause of these losses, the role of insecticides is controversial. Parasites and neonicotinoid insecticides reduce homing success of foragers (e.g.

Red knots give up flight capacity and defend food processing capacity during winter starvation [PDF]

Functional Ecology, 2007
During the last phase of starvation, animals depend mainly on protein breakdown. All organs are a potential protein source. Do starving animals prevent particular organs from being catabolized in order to defend certain functions? In this study we investigated if starving birds maintain locomotion and digestion capacities, both essential for the ...

Suppressed DNA repair capacity in flight attendants after air travel

Scientific Reports
Elevated cancer risk and compromised reproductive health have been well documented in flight attendants (FA), but the etiology remains unknown. Many studies using cell and animal models suggest that air travel related exposures might plausibly explain ...

Sand fly behavior: much more than weak-flying

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2021
BACKGROUND Leishmaniases are diseases transmitted by some species of sand flies and are widely distributed throughout the tropical regions of the planet. Despite the low mobility of these vectors, the geographical distributions of some species are quite
