Prey colonization in freshwater landscapes can be stimulated or inhibited by the proximity of remote predators

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 89, Issue 8, Page 1766-1774, August 2020., 2020
Using a natural microcosm system the authors show that predation risk in one habitat can affect colonization in nearby habitats. The specific response depends on distance to the predator habitat and can be taxon‐specific. Such remote predator effects complicate predicting the distributions of organisms in landscapes.

Wyeomyia forcipenis, new species of mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1985
Wyeomyia forcipenis sp.n. is described from specimens caught in Jacarepaguá. State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The male genitalia and the chaetotaxy of the pupa and larva are figured. This species is close to Wy.

Compensating for climate change–induced cue‐environment mismatches: evidence for contemporary evolution of a photoperiodic reaction norm in Colias butterflies

Ecology Letters, Volume 23, Issue 7, Page 1129-1136, July 2020., 2020
The seasonal, photoperiodic plasticity of wing color in Colias eurytheme butterflies has changed over the past 47 years in a direction which corresponds to observed climate change. Their wings have brightened, but only at short photoperiods, which reflects to greater increases in spring temperatures than summer temperatures in central California, where

Identification of animal hosts of Fort Sherman virus, a New World zoonotic orthobunyavirus

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 67, Issue 4, Page 1433-1441, July 2020., 2020
Abstract An orthobunyavirus termed Fort Sherman virus (FSV) was isolated in 1985 from a febrile US soldier in Panama, yet potential animal reservoirs remained unknown. We investigated sera from 192 clinically healthy peri‐domestic animals sampled in northeastern Brazil during 2014–2018 by broadly reactive RT‐PCR for orthobunyavirus RNA, including 50 ...

Exploring protandry and pupal size selection for Aedes albopictus sex separation [PDF]

, 2018
Background: We explored the possibility to improve male/female separation (sexing) in Aedes albopictus by selection of two strains, one toward increasing sex dimorphism and another toward increasing protandry.

Latitudinal clines in the timing and temperature‐sensitivity of photoperiodic reproductive diapause in Drosophila montana

Ecography, Volume 43, Issue 5, Page 759-768, May 2020., 2020
Reproductive diapause is a primary mechanism used by arthropods to synchronize their life cycle with seasonal changes in temperate regions. Our study species, Drosophila montana, represents the northern insect species where flies enter reproductive diapause under short day conditions and where the precise timing of diapause is crucial for both survival

Flies as models for circadian clock adaptation to environmental challenges

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 166-181, January 2020., 2020
This review summarizes our current understanding of the evolutionary processes that underlie the molecular, neuronal, and behavioural adaptation of fly circadian clocks to different latitudes. Abstract Life on earth is assumed to have developed in tropical regions that are characterized by regular 24 hr cycles in irradiance and temperature that remain ...

Bromeliad-associated mosquitoes from Atlantic forest in Santa Catarina Island, southern Brazil (Diptera, Culicidae), with new records for the State of Santa Catarina Mosquitos associados a bromélias em Mata Atlântica na Ilha de Santa Catarina, sul do Brasil (Diptera, Culicidae), com novos registros para o Estado de Santa Catarina

Iheringia: Série Zoologia, 2006
Bromeliad-associated mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in Atlantic Forest in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, southern Brazil, were studied, examining plants of Vriesea philippocoburgi Wawra and Aechmea lindenii (E. Morren) Baker var.

Color, Bacteria, and Mosquito Eggs as Ovipositional Attractants for \u3ci\u3eAedes Aegypti\u3c/i\u3e and \u3ci\u3eAedes Albopictus\u3c/i\u3e (Diptera: Culicidae) [PDF]

, 2018
Selected bacterial washes, color, and mosquito eggs were comparatively examined as ovipositional attractants for Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Any evidence of additive activity was noted.
