Quantifying landscape‐level biodiversity change in an island ecosystem: a 50‐year assessment of shifts in the Hawaiian avian community

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Hawaii has experienced profound declines in native avifauna alongside the introduction of numerous bird species. While site‐specific population studies are common, landscape‐level analyses of avian population dynamics are rare, particularly in island ecosystems. To address this gap, we used a density surface model to create a spatio‐temporal projection

Connecting the Dots: Systems Thinking Highlights the Role of the Environment Sector in One Health Operationalization

open access: yesGlobal Challenges, EarlyView.
This perspective highlights the need for a systems thinking approach in One Health to holistically address zoonotic disease prevention, and to strengthen connections with the environment sector for global pandemic preparedness. Abstract With One Health (OH) encompassing a holistic view of the interrelated health of humans, animals and environment ...

Dirofilaria and Wolbachia in mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in central European Russia and on the Black Sea coast

open access: yesParasite, 2019
Dirofilariasis is endemic in Russia, as well as in many other European countries. The aim of this study was to assess the ability of mosquitoes to transfer Dirofilaria immitis and Dirofilaria repens in regions with temperate and subtropical climates. The

Bifenthrin Under Scrutiny: Revisiting Toxicological Evidence Amid Regulatory Gaps

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite growing health concerns, bifenthrin (BF) remains widely used for controlling agricultural and residential pests. However, different perspectives on its toxicological profile and regulatory framework warrant a revisit and update on BF regulation towards a robust risk‐safety assessment.

Analysis of Gene Expression in Aedes aegypti Suggests Changes in Early Genetic Control of Mosquito Development

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aedes aegypti, a critical vector for tropical diseases, poses significant challenges for studying its embryogenesis due to difficulties in removing its rigid chorion and achieving effective fixation for in situ hybridization. Here, we present novel methodologies for fixation, dechorionation, DAPI staining, and in situ hybridization, enabling ...
