Flea‘in Around: A Look at the Identification, Preservation, Clearing, and Mounting of Siphonaptera [PDF]
Fleas are remarkable and highly specialized insects, with no part of their external anatomy being easily mistaken for that of any other insect. Due to their small size, the subtle differences among the distinguishing morphological characteristics of each

Genetic characterization of flea-derived Bartonella species from native animals in Australia suggests host-parasite co-evolution [PDF]
Fleas are important arthropod vectors for a variety of diseases in veterinary and human medicine, and bacteria belonging to the genus Bartonella are among the organisms most commonly transmitted by these ectoparasites.

A globally influential area‐condition metric is a poor proxy for invertebrate biodiversity
Our results highlight the need to incorporate factors beyond habitat type and condition into site evaluations, and to complement metric use with species‐based surveys. Abstract There is increasing demand for standardised, easy‐to‐use metrics to assess progress towards achieving biodiversity targets and the effectiveness of ecological compensation ...
