Urbanization and Vector Species Shape Avian Malaria Prevalence in Mosquitoes

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Avian malaria prevalence was assessed in two mosquito species across urban and peri‐urban habitats. No infections were detected in either species in urban areas, while a 2.53% prevalence was found in the native Culex pipiens from peri‐urban sites, highlighting the influence of urbanization on parasite transmission dynamics.

CALCULATION OF THE ACTIVITY OF AN URANIUM SAMPLE IRRADIATED BY THERMAL NEUTRONS FOR THE INITIAL ANALYSIS IN RADIOLOGICAL PROTECTION USING MONTE CARLO SIMULATION

Momento, 2018
To carry out the analysis of radiological protection and degree of danger of a practice in a facility that uses ionizing radiation, an analysis is made from computational calculations, both of gamma and neutron radiation, which are those of greater reach

Biofouling on Salmon Pen Nets and Cleaner Fish Shelters Does Not Harbor Planktonic Stages of Sea Lice

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
The objective of the current study was to determine the extent to which planktonic sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis Krøyer, 1838 and Caligus elongatus Nordmann, 1832) were present in the biofouling on open-sea net pens used for commercial rearing of ...

Same Same, but Different: A Glossary of Carcino‐Entomology as a Basis for an Improved Communication and for a Modern View of Carcinology Encompassing Entomology

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT One core aspect of science is communication, both among researchers as well as with the public. For successful communication, it is crucial that the terminology used is clear to avoid misunderstandings. Especially when researchers working on different groups of organisms communicate, they often use different terms for similar morphological ...

Evaluation of Three Atlantic Salmon Strains for Resistance to Copepodid Sea Lice Attachment

Fishes
Sea lice have been a persistent pest of the salmon farming industry for more than 50 years. In this study, we aimed to identify if different strains of Atlantic salmon with discrete long-term lice exposure histories had variable resistance to copepodid ...

Lice community structure infesting Trinomys iheringi (Thomas, 1911) - Ocurrence, sex bias and climatic variables on tropical island

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2020
Few studies have provided information on parasitological indexes or other ecological characteristics of lice populations that parasitize small mammals in the Neotropical region.

Island invertebrate responses to single‐ and multi‐species invasive rodent eradications

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Eradications of rodents on islands are a powerful tool for conservation, but rarely are the responses of invertebrates quantified post‐eradication, despite being the preferred prey of mice. Here we analyzed pre‐ and post‐eradication invertebrate survey results for two sub‐Antarctic islands where mice had recently been eradicated; Antipodes Island where

Dyadic Associations Between Family‐of‐Origin Violence and Intimate Partner Violence: The Role of Conflict Resolution Style

Family Relations, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Based on recollections of family‐of‐origin violence (FOV), and using the actor–partner interdependence mediation model (APIMeM), the aim of this study was to investigate spouses' mutual contributions to intimate partner violence (IPV). Specifically, we examined the role of conflict resolution style between FOV and IPV.
