Insecticide Susceptibility Status of Wild-Caught Sand Fly Populations Collected from Two Leishmaniasis Endemic Areas in Western Turkey

Journal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases, 2017
Background: In Turkey, vector control programs are mainly based on indoor residual spraying with pyre­throids against mosquitoes. No special control program is available for sand flies.

RNA interference of the ecdysone receptor gene AgEcR in a wolfberry ‐ specialized strain of Aphis gossypii Glover affects its survival and fecundity and confers resistance in transgenic goji (Lycium barbarum L.)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
AgEcR, an ecdysone receptor from Aphis gossypii, is an RNA interference (RNAi) target. Artificial diet screening of five double ‐ stranded RNA fragments identified dsAgEcR2 targeting the D/E junction as the most potent. Transgenic goji expressing dsAgEcR2 caused molting defects and reduced fecundity, suppressing population growth and offering a ...

Increasing urban flash flood risk attributable to both climate and development

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
A new event impact attribution methodology that combines convection‐permitting climate model data with flood inundation modelling was used for a five‐hour flash‐flooding event in the suburbs of Leeds in 2014. The results show increased urban flood extent due to both climate change (+16%) and increased urbanisation (+29%).

Leishmaniasis transmission biology: Role of Promastigote Secretory Gel as a transmission determinant [PDF]

Leishmaniasis is a complex vector-borne disease caused by Leishmania sp. (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae) and is transmitted by female sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae).

Deep learning‐based super‐resolution reconstruction and improved YOLOv9 for efficient benthos detection: a case study at Lake Hamana, Japan

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study presents a UAV‐based framework that integrates deep learning‐based super‐resolution reconstruction and an enhanced YOLO detector to improve centimetre‐scale benthic organism monitoring. Using hermit crabs in Lake Hamana, a coastal lagoon in Japan, as a case study, the method substantially enhanced small‐object detection performance ...

Ground‐based robotic remote sensing for standardized biodiversity monitoring in coastal habitats

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Illustrated workflow of the proposed citizen‐to‐robot monitoring pipeline: (i) expert‐validated citizen observations are translated into AI models, (ii) deployed on a ground‐based robotic platform for proximal sensing of coastal dune habitats, (iii) enabling standardized detection of ecological targets (e.g., Pancratium maritimum & Brithys crini), and (
