Aquatic‐Terrestrial Insecticide Fluxes: Midges as Neonicotinoid Vectors
Abstract Exposure of freshwater ecosystems to insecticides can negatively impact the development of emerging aquatic insects. These insects serve as an important nutritional subsidy for terrestrial insectivores. Changes in insect emergence phenology (i.e., emergence success and temporal pattern) or fluxes of insecticides retained by the emerging adults

Abstract Temperature has a profound effect on the growth and development of ectothermic animals. However, the extent to which ecologically driven selection pressures can adjust thermal plastic responses in growth schedules is not well understood. Comparing temperature‐induced plastic responses between sexes provides a promising but underexploited ...

New geographical records for tick‐borne pathogens in ticks collected from cattle in Benin and Togo
A total of 396 ticks were collected from cattle between 2019 and 2020, and divided in pools (two to six ticks per pool) for molecular screening. The present study highlights the presence of zoonotic agents in ticks collected from cattle in Benin and Togo.

Ruffed grouse do not exhibit high potential for reservoir competency of common tick‐borne pathogens
Blacklegged ticks are vectors for Borrelia burgdorferi and Anaplasma phagocytophilum transmission, thus we sought to identify ruffed grouse as an alternative host of blacklegged ticks by testing for active and previous infections of tick‐borne pathogens. We failed to detect active, or evidence of previous, B.

A Bizarre Planthopper Nymph (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea) from Mid-Cretaceous Kachin Amber
The fossil record of adult planthoppers is comparatively rich, but nymphs are rare and not well studied. Here, we describe a bizarre armoured planthopper nymph, Spinonympha shcherbakovi gen. et sp. nov., in mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber.

Effect of Feeding Stage and Density of Whiteflies on Subsequent Aphid Performance on Tobacco Plants
Bemisia tabaci Middle East-Asia Minor 1 (MEAM1) is a cosmopolitan, highly polyphagous agricultural pest, which has the capacity to displace other native insect herbivores. Here, equipped with an integrated approach, the effect of developmental stages and

Tissue‐damaging marking methods do not affect tick burdens on field captured Peromyscus spp.
Small mammals are important hosts for Ixodes scapularis, particularly white‐footed mice and deer mice from the genus Peromyscus. We evaluate three tissue‐damaging marking methods to determine if any method affects the tick burden on captured mice. There were no significant differences in tick burden on captured mice among the tissue‐damaging marking ...

It then explores the insights that Mass Observation's election surveys offer into public attitudes to women politicians, and gender and political leadership more broadly, from the late 1930s to the early ...
