Ecology, Volume 99, Issue 3, Page 652-660, March 2018., 2018 Abstract The importance of predators in influencing community structure is a well‐studied area of ecology. However, few studies test ecological hypotheses of predation in multi‐predator microbial communities. The phytotelmic community found within the water‐filled leaves of the pitcher plant, Sarracenia purpurea, exhibits a simple trophic structure ...

An inquiline mosquito modulates microbial diversity and function in an aquatic microecosystem
Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 7, April 2024.Abstract Understanding microbial roles in ecosystem function requires integrating microscopic processes into food webs. The carnivorous pitcher plant, Sarracenia purpurea, offers a tractable study system where diverse food webs of macroinvertebrates and microbes facilitate digestion of captured insect prey, releasing nutrients supporting the food web ...

First record of translocation in Culicidae (Diptera) mitogenomes: evidence from the tribe Sabethini
BMC Genomics, 2019 Background The tribe Sabethini (Diptera: Culicidae) contains important vectors of the yellow fever virus and presents remarkable morphological and ecological diversity unequalled in other mosquito groups.

Bacterial communities in carnivorous pitcher plants colonize and persist in inquiline mosquitoes
Animal Microbiome, 2022 Background The leaves of carnivorous pitcher plants harbor diverse communities of inquiline species, including bacteria and larvae of the pitcher plant mosquito (Wyeomyia smithii), which aid the plant by processing captured prey.

Land use predicts proportion of West Nile virus vector‐competent mosquitoes
Ecosphere, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2024.Abstract Land use and land cover (LULC) change has been identified as an important driver of emerging mosquito‐borne zoonotic diseases. However, studies are often limited to individual vector species, despite the potential for interspecific variation in vector competency within mosquito assemblages.
