Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction
Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.Abstract Background South American camelids (SACs) have become increasingly popular in the UK. Consequently, knowledge among veterinary practitioners about diseases in these non‐native species has improved, although gaps remain. The remit of this study was to identify common diseases of SACs based on Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) surveillance ...

Interactions between prairie dogs and arthropods in grassland ecosystems: a review and research gaps
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Prairie dogs (Cynomys spp.) are an important component of grassland ecosystems of North America where they can alter vegetation composition/structure and physical attributes of grassland habitats through their feeding and burrowing behavior. Impacts of prairie dog presence on many wildlife and plant taxa have been widely studied but research on prairie

Characterization of the dynamic microbiome evolution across thrips species
Insect Science, EarlyView.Comprehensive survey of the microbiome in thrips. The dominant bacterial genera found in thrips include intracellular ones, such as Wolbachia and Spiroplasma, and extracellular ones, including Serratia, Pantoea, and Acinetobacter. We isolated and sequenced high‐quality genomes of two dominant symbionts, Pantoea dispersa and Serratia marcescens.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.In an experimental epidemiology setup, groups of pigeons were exposed to different numbers of infective malaria vectors. Vector number explained the speed of transmission, the final prevalence, and changes in host behavior. ABSTRACT Vector density plays a critical role in the transmission dynamics of vector‐borne diseases and thus in their health and ...
