Experimental Assessment of Zika Virus Mechanical Transmission by Aedes aegypti
Viruses, 2019 The pandemic emergence of several mosquito-borne viruses highlights the need to understand the different ways in which they can be transmitted by vectors to human hosts. In this study, we evaluated the propensity of Aedes aegypti to transmit mechanically

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Using DNA metabarcoding, this study investigates pollen transported by syrphids (Syrphidae) in the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park and agricultural sites in Northern Italy. The analysis reveals a high diversity of visited plant taxa, including previously undocumented plant–pollinator interactions.

Morphological characterization of the mouthparts of Stingless bee larvae [PDF]
, 2015 O desenvolvimento holometábolo é caracterizado pela completa distinção morfológica entre imaturo e adulto. Como resultado das demandas típicas da fase larval, as estruturas mais evidentes em um indivíduo imaturo são as peças bucais.

Mouthparts of the Burgess Shale fossils Odontogriphus and Wiwaxia: implications for the ancestral molluscan radula [PDF]
, 2012 The Middle Cambrian lophotrochozoans Odontogriphus omalus and Wiwaxia corrugata have been interpreted as stem-group members of either the Mollusca, the Annelida, or a group containing Mollusca + Annelida.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Predation methods vary widely in their ability to quantify biological control. Estimating predation rates (the number of prey killed per predator per time unit) is crucial. Combining predation rates with predator abundance yields real‐time field estimates of pests consumed.

Comparative morphology and evolutionary implications of larval mouthparts in ten lineages of Scarabaeoidea (Coleoptera) [PDF]
Arthropod Systematics & PhylogenyLarvae of the megadiverse Scarabaeoidea play important economic and ecological roles, and their mouthparts provide valuable morphological clues for species identification and dietary inference.

Clogmia albipunctata Larvae Influence the Odour Dynamics of Rotting Organic Matter
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Drain flies live in organic waste. We investigated how drain fly larvae influence the unpleasant smells produced by sewage sludge and rotting nettle. Although the perception of these smells did not change significantly according to the public, chemical analyses showed that sewage sludge with drain fly larvae yielded a different composition of odors ...
