Tracking Microbial Communities Across Aedes Albopictus Life Stages and Larval Habitat Types

, 2021
Abstract Aedes albopictus, the Tiger Mosquito, has been hailed as one of the most invasive arbovirus-transmitting mosquitoes globally. With the growing potential of microbial methods for mosquito control, it has become increasingly imperative to understand the factors that contribute to naturally-occurring microbiome communities.

Effect of presence and semiochemicals of conspecific stages on oviposition by ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2012
Reduced oviposition by ladybirds in the presence of tracks of fourth instar larvae owing to the presence of oviposition deterring pheromones is well established across many genera.

Larval transport modeling of deep-sea invertebrates can aid the search for undiscovered populations. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: Many deep-sea benthic animals occur in patchy distributions separated by thousands of kilometres, yet because deep-sea habitats are remote, little is known about their larval dispersal.

How Life History Characteristics and Environmental Forcing Shape Settlement Success of Coral Reef Fishes

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Larval settlement is shaped by the interaction of biological processes (e.g., life history strategies, behavior etc.) and the environment (e.g., temperature, currents etc.).

Spatial and temporal variation in trace elemental fingerprints of mytilid mussel shells: A precursor to invertebrate larval tracking [PDF]

Limnology and Oceanography, 2005
Elements incorporated into developing hard parts of planktonic larvae record the environmental conditions experienced during growth. These chemical signatures, termed elemental fingerprints, potentially allow for reconstruction of locations of larvae. Here, we have demonstrated for the first time the feasibility of this approach for bivalve shells.

Autumn shifts in cold tolerance metabolites in overwintering adult mountain pine beetles.

PLoS ONE, 2020
The mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a major forest pest of pines in western North America. Beetles typically undergo a one-year life cycle with larval cold hardening in preparation for overwintering.

Strongyloidiasis infection in a borderline lepromatous leprosy patient with adrenocorticoid insufficiency undergoing corticosteroid treatment: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2022
Background Strongyloidiasis is a soil-transmitted helminthiasis mainly caused by Strongyloides stercoralis. It is endemic to the tropics and subtropics. Sri Lanka has a 0–1.6% prevalence rate. S.

Tracking passive drifters in a high resolution ocean model: implications for interannual variability of larval krill transport to South Georgia [PDF]

Deep Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers, 2004
A particle tracking scheme that uses velocity output from an interannually varying forced run of a global ocean circulation model (Parallel Ocean Climate Model; POCM_4C) allows variability in the transport pathways across the Scotia Sea to South Georgia to be examined for the first time.

Seasonal mosquito larval abundance and composition in Kibwezi, lower eastern Kenya [PDF]

Journal of Vector Borne Diseases, 2009
Background & objectives: Changes in weather patterns especially rainfall affects the distribution and densities of mosquitoes. The objective of this study was to describe mosquito aquatic habitats, to determine larval abundance, species composition, and ...

Tracking Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) Larval Behavior Across Development: Effects of Temperature and Nutrients on Individuals’ Foraging Behavior [PDF]

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2018
Immature mosquitoes alter their foraging behavior in response to variation in nutrients, predators, and temperature, with consequences on the adult stage where pathogens are transmitted. These patterns of behavior have not been described with respect to both developmental stage and environmental variation, nor has behavior been examined within an ...
