A revision of the genusCyclopodia(Nycteribiidae, Diptera)
Parasitology, 1959 In 1835 Westwood describedNycteribia sykesiiandN. hopei, and mentioned the possibility of both being male and female of the same species. He also describedN. dubia. In 1860 Bigot describedN. oxycephala. In 1863 Kolenati created the genusCyclopodiaforN. sykesiiandN. hopei, but did not includeN. dubiain the new genus.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.Our study presents a cost‐effective 3D scanning approach to enhance taxonomic identification, particularly for archival and educational applications. By allowing the scanning of pinned specimens without damage, this method supplements traditional taxonomy while promoting accessibility and conservation efforts.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.Our results indicate that ectoparasite microbiomes are highly conserved and specific. In contrast, we found high geographic variation in host and environmental microbiomes, suggesting that there may be a constraint on blood‐feeding insect ectoparasites to maintain a specific microbiome.

An interdisciplinary approach to improving conservation outcomes for parasites
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2025.Abstract Parasites represent a significant proportion of Earth's biodiversity and play important roles in the ecology and biology of ecosystems and hosts, making them an important target for conservation. Despite increasing calls to prioritize protection for parasites in the academic literature, they remain undervalued and underrepresented in global ...
