Effects of Alternative Prey Density on Cannibalism in Adult Female Neoseiulus californicus
Using two strains of N. californicus—TU (reared long‐term on T. urticae) and OB (reared long‐term on O. bakeri)—this study demonstrated that although alternative prey density had no significant effect on cannibalism, both rearing strain and conspecific life stage significantly influenced cannibalistic behavior, with a significant interaction between ...

The study predicted the potential global distribution of invasive pest Echinothrips americanus using MaxEnt models, revealing its primary habitats concentrated in Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and Africa (total area ~ 3.41 × 107 km2). Under future climate scenarios, marginally suitable areas are projected to contract significantly, while ...

Current Protections and Future Threats to Say's Spiketail Habitat in the Southeastern USA
Dragonflies and damselflies are important indicators of ecological integrity and environmental quality but remain underrepresented in conservation efforts, in part due to a lack of quantitative information regarding their habitat requirements. Species distribution models (SDMs) can facilitate conservation planning by allowing researchers to estimate ...

Tick‐borne pathogen interactions enhance transmission in cattle and ticks in Ogun, Nigeria
Abstract Tick‐borne diseases (TBDs) pose a major public health concern in tropical regions, where co‐infections and pathogen interactions complicate disease control. Understanding how these interactions vary across vertebrate hosts and tick vectors, and their impact on disease transmission, is crucial for developing effective intervention strategies ...
