Understanding the biology of blood-feeding arthropods is critical to managing them as
vectors of etiological agents. Circadian rhythms act in the regulation of behavioral and …

Low temperatures are rarely experienced in isolation. The impacts of low temperatures on
insects can be exacerbated or alleviated by the addition of other environmental factors …

Humidity influences the life table parameters and foraging behaviours of various terrestrial
arthropods. The soil mite, Blattisocius mali Oudemans is a potential biological control agent …

Recent work has shown the decline of insect abundance, diversity and biomass, with
potential implications for ecosystem services. These declines are especially pronounced in …

The mosquito Aedes aegypti is a competent vector of multiple pathogens, including dengue,
Zika, yellow fever, chikungunya, and Mayaro viruses. Ae. aegypti is highly invasive and is …

Water regulation is an important physiological challenge for insects due to their small body
sizes and large surface area to volume ratios. Adaptations for decreasing cuticular water …

Tree diversity can promote both predator abundance and diversity. However, whether this
translates into increased predation and top‐down control of herbivores across predator …

In the species-rich Phylum Arthropoda, the mitochondrial genome is relatively well
conserved both in terms of number and order of genes. However, specific clades have a …

Actions for ecological restoration under the Great Green Wall (GGW) initiative in the northern
Sahel have been plant focused, paying scant attention to plant–animal interactions that are …

Parasitoid-host interactions form the foundation of biological control strategies against many
agriculture and forest insect pests. The emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis …
