Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies
Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Experimentally testing the function of anal fins in the bluefin killifish, Lucania goodei
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Anal fins are thought to affect many functions, including swimming, sperm flow and signalling. However, there are few experimental demonstrations of these functions. We manipulated male anal fins by placing a cut in the fin. We found that cut males had lower fertilization rates than uncut males.

Direct visualization of sperm competition and sperm storage in Drosophila
, 1999 Drosophila females engage in multiple matings [1–4] even though they can store sperm in specialized organs for most of their life [5]. The existence of sperm competition in Drosophila has been inferred from the proportion of progeny sired by the second ...

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract We conducted an observational field survey of the innerspotted sandgoby Fusigobius inframaculatus on reefs of Kuchierabu‐jima Island, southern Japan, to investigate its mating system. Individuals of the goby maintained home ranges on sandy bottoms within rocky caves or beneath overhangs that served as shelters. Of 34 identified individuals, 32%
