Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Subfossil insect communities from the Quartz Creek site provide a detailed record of both Late Pleistocene steppe–tundra and Holocene boreal forest ecosystems in central Yukon Territory, Canada. Fifteen Pleistocene assemblages (marine isotope stages [MIS] 4 to 2) are dominated by steppe–tundra and dry‐tundra taxa, particularly the weevils ...

Growth of Cowdria ruminantium, the causative agent of heartwater, in a tick cell line [PDF]
, 2000 The tick-borne rickettsia Cowdria ruminantium has been propagated continuously for over 500 days in the Ixodes scapularis tick cell line IDE8 by using the Gardel isolate from bovine endothelial cells as an inoculum.

Oikos, EarlyView.The origins of ecosystem stability have long intrigued ecologists. Recent theoretical advancements highlight three primary mechanisms driving stability: dominance, asynchrony and averaging. While plant community stability has been extensively studied, our understanding of marine community stability remains limited. Plankton, as key components of marine

Variable strength of forest stand attributes and weather conditions on the questing activity of Ixodes ricinus ticks over years in managed forests [PDF]
, 2013 Given the ever-increasing human impact through land use and climate change on the environment, we crucially need to achieve a better understanding of those factors that influence the questing activity of ixodid ticks, a major disease-transmitting vector ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract The future of land use in the UK uplands is highly debated, with growing interest in increasing tree cover and other land use changes, alongside a desire to maintain traditional land use patterns and practices. Treescape expansion is likely to result in synergies and trade‐offs between different outcomes, so integrating stakeholder preferences

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Natural landscapes shared by people and wildlife often rely on signage to guide people towards behaviours that protect nature, where the justification and framing of these requests may influence how people interpret and respond to them. We conducted a factorial vignette experiment with 600 frequent outdoor recreationists living in Scotland ...

Student Perceptions of AI and Virtual Populations in a Project‐Based Experimental Design Course
Teaching Statistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper examines the use of virtual populations and artificial intelligence (AI) tools in a course‐based project within the undergraduate statistics course “Experimental Design.” Consistent with our prior research, we found that most students supported the use of project‐based learning and reported gains in conceptual understanding, report ...

Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 2011 Despite a large number of studies on tick biology, there is limited information on long- term changes in tick populations. This study thus aimed to assess the long-term population dynamics of questing ixodid ticks in two landscape zones of the Kruger ...

Content analysis of TikTok videos about tick prevention methods for dogs and cats
Veterinary Record, EarlyView.Abstract Background Social media is a major source of pet health information. On platforms such as TikTok, algorithm‐driven recommendations may expose users to health‐related content even without active searching. This study described tick prevention videos on TikTok.
