Aedes albopictus colonies from different geographic origins differ in their sleep and activity levels but not in the time of peak activity

This study compares sleep and activity patterns of Aedes albopictus mosquito strains from different geographic origins, finding heritable differences in activity levels but not peak activity times.

Population-specific responses to developmental temperature in the arboviral vector : implications for climate change

This study examines how developmental temperature affects mosquito fitness, transcriptome, and Wolbachia prevalence in temperate and tropical populations, showing population-specific responses and implications for climate change impacts.

Sugar-feeding by invasive mosquito species on ornamental and wild plants

This study examines sugar-feeding behavior of invasive mosquitoes on ornamental plants to identify potential attractants and inform disease control strategies.

Warm blood meal increases digestion rate and milk protein production to maximize reproductive output for the tsetse fly, Glossina morsitans

The study shows that warm blood meals in tsetse flies shorten pregnancy duration and increase milk protein production, enhancing reproductive output.

Soft ticks perform evaporative cooling during blood-feeding

This study identifies evaporative cooling via urine excretion as a thermoregulatory mechanism in the soft tick Ornithodoros rostratus during blood-feeding.

The effect of meal temperature on heart rate in Rhodnius prolixus

This study examines how meal temperature affects heart rate in Rhodnius prolixus, finding increased heart rate with higher meal temperatures and differences between sexes.
