IAEA Coordinated Research Project on “A generic approach for the development of genetic sexing strains for Sterile Insect Technique applications”— an overview

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The sterile insect technique (SIT) plays an important role in environmentally sustainable pest management. Its effectiveness hinges on specialized genetic tools called genetic sexing strains (GSSs), which enable the production and release of sterile male insects while excluding females.

Effects of Vector Density on Blood Parasite Spread and Health Consequences for Avian Hosts: An Experimental Epidemiology Blueprint

open access: yesIntegrative 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 ...

Imperative for a health‐centred focus on climate change in radiology

open access: yesJournal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
Summary Climate change negatively impacts individual and population‐level health through multiple pathways, including poor air quality, extreme heat and changes in infectious disease. These health effects will lead to higher health system and medical imaging utilisation.

evsBat: An automated toolkit for tracking and quantifying rapid movement of nocturnal animals using event cameras

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Capturing the high‐speed behaviour of nocturnal animals remains technically challenging because conventional video systems require intense illumination that disrupts natural activity. Event‐based vision sensors (EVS) overcome this constraint, yet their ecological uptake has been slow owing to a lack of software capable of analysing the sparse,

Long‐read sequencing for biodiversity analyses—A comprehensive guide

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract DNA‐based monitoring of biodiversity has revolutionised our ability to describe communities and rapidly assess anthropogenic impacts on biodiversity. Currently established molecular methods for biomonitoring rely heavily on classic metabarcoding utilising short reads, mostly through Illumina data.
