Initial ecological recovery post‐weir removal amidst catchment‐wide improvements, in a groundwater‐dominated chalk stream

River Research and Applications, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 10-22, January 2025.
Abstract Physical habitat modification is one of the main pressures affecting river environments, impacting their ecosystem health and compromising their ability to adapt to the effects of climate change. Addressing the impacts of physical modification through reinvigorating natural processes has become a globally established river restoration ...

Phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) in the Greek Aegean Islands: ecological approaches

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Blood-sucking phlebotomine sand flies are the vectors of the protozoan parasites Leishmania spp. Different Phlebotomus species transmit different Leishmania species causing leishmaniases which are neglected diseases emerging/reemerging in new regions ...

Biology of Lutzomyia lenti (Mangabeira) (Diptera: Psychodidae) [PDF]

Anais da Sociedade Entomológica do Brasil, 1997
Foi iniciada uma colonia de Lutzomyia lenti (Mangabeira) com femeas capturadas em galinheiro, em Betim, MG, utilizando-se armadilha luminosa. A colonia apresentou um ciclo medio de 40,2 dias de ovo a adulto a 26° - 28°C e a UR 80 ± 5%. As femeas alimentaram-se avidamente em hamster [Mesocriscetus auratus (Waterhouse)], com uma postura media de 36,1 ...

The RNA interference response to alphanodavirus replication in Phlebotomus papatasi sand fly cells

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 33, Issue 6, Page 687-696, December 2024.
Both the siRNA and piRNA pathways are transcriptionally active in Phlebotomus papatasi PP9ad cells. Assembly of small RNA sequencing identifies an adventitious nodavirus (American nodavirus [ANV]) in PP9ad cells. ANV is actively replicating in PP9ad cells and is targeted by the exo‐siRNA pathway but not the piRNA pathway.

Beaver dams in Mediterranean ecosystems: trait‐specific effects on macroinvertebrates

Journal of Zoology, Volume 324, Issue 4, Page 353-362, December 2024.
Being ecosystem engineers, beavers have attracted great attention in the restoration of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Nonetheless, the effects of the species on aquatic invertebrates known to date are not univocal and mostly refer to central European riverine systems. Here, we evaluated the effects of beaver presence on aquatic macroinvertebrates

Ecological determinants of leishmaniasis vector, Lutzomyia spp.: A scoping review

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 393-406, December 2024.
Lutzomyia spp. survival is impacted by climatic, habitat and geodemographic factors. Lutzomyia spp. have demonstrated a wide range of temperature tolerance, ranging from 11 to 30°C. There is limited research on this topic, posing a significant challenge for future studies. Abstract Leishmania spp. are zoonotic parasites transmitted by phlebotomine sand

A cross‐sectional study on phlebotomine sand flies in relation to disease transmission in the Republic of Kosovo

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 573-585, December 2024.
We provide the currently known sand fly distribution and species diversity in Kosovo, including a COI barcode inventory and distribution maps. Phlebotomus neglectus and Ph. perfiliewi were identified to be the predominant species and environmental analyses depicted two geographical groups of sand flies in Kosovo, with notable differences between the ...
