A Short‐Read Amplicon Sequencing Protocol and Bioinformatic Pipeline for Ecological Surveillance of Dipteran Disease Vectors

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 6, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Vector control remains an important strategy worldwide to prevent human infection with pathogens transmitted by arthropods. Vector control strategies rely on accurate identification of vector taxa along with vector‐specific biological indicators such as feeding ecology, infection prevalence and insecticide resistance.

Phylogenomic approach to integrative taxonomy resolves a century‐old taxonomic puzzle and the evolutionary history of the Acromyrmex octospinosus species complex

Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 469-494, July 2025.
A comprehensive, integrative study approach combining morphology, population genetics, phylogenetics and biogeography revealed that the Acromyrmex octospinosus species complex consists of two species: A. octospinosus and its social parasite A. insinuator.

Assessing the impact of preventative measures to limit the spread of Toxoplasma gondii in wild carnivores of Madagascar

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 6, December 2024.
Abstract Novel multihost pathogens can threaten endangered wildlife species, as well as humans and domestic animals. The zoonotic protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii is transmitted by members of Felidae and can infect a large number of animal species, including humans.

Do sexual differences in life strategies make male lizards more susceptible to parasite infection?

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 93, Issue 9, Page 1338-1350, September 2024.
Sexual dimorphism in coadaptive host–parasite relationships are poorly understand. The comparative nature of the presented studied as well as the generalisation of the results for the geographic region sampled makes this study of general interest of ecologists, evolutionary biologists, physiologist and parasitologist, among others.

Pursuing Opacity: Geographies of Visibility in the Western Mediterranean

Antipode, Volume 56, Issue 4, Page 1378-1398, July 2024.
Abstract The Moroccan and Spanish governments pursue the visibility of people and things. They observe and survey in order to codify, catalogue, classify, and calculate. Rather than trace the contours of such projects, this paper seeks to provoke a more sustained engagement with modes of errantry that confound their logics of command and control ...
