Genetic control methods for anopheline mosquitoes may reduce their populations without direct effects on other species or the physical environment; indirect effects on predators or competitors may be of concern. The vast majority of Anopheles gambiae predators are broad generalists and consume many other insect species; there is no indication of a ...

Survey of Water Bugs in Bankim, a New Buruli Ulcer Endemic Area in Cameroon
Buruli ulcer is a debitliating human skin disease with an unknown transmission mode although epidemiological data link it with swampy areas. Data available suggest that aquatic insects play a role in the dissemination and/or transmission of this disease. However, their biodiversity and biology remain poorly documented.

ABSTRACT In this study, the egg‐laying behaviour and chorionic morphology of the eggs of the backswimmer Notonecta viridis Delcourt, 1909 (Heteroptera: Notonectidae) were described in detail using stereo, light and electron microscopy. Female N. viridis lays its eggs individually, horizontally attached to the surface. Eggs are elliptical, approximately

On the Origin of the Tingidae (Insecta, Heteroptera)
ABSTRACT The hypothesis of a Gondwanian origin of the family Tingidae (Insecta, Heteroptera) has been promoted and seems to be generally accepted by specialists. However, the area of emergence and diversification of the clade, South American or Australian, is still debated and cannot be solved without integrating Vianaidinae, a subfamily considered as ...

Resource Availability Overrides Predator Presence in Mosquito Oviposition Habitat Selection
Gravid Culex quinquefasciatus balance predation risk against resource availability when selecting oviposition sites. In outdoor mesocosms, we factorially manipulated sugarcane jaggery (resource) and notonectid predators (adult vs. nymph; caged vs. free‐swimming) across 2 years.
