TPCdesign is an R package that optimizes temperature treatments for thermal performance experiments to improve accuracy of thermal response curve estimation.

The paper measures microclimates of Culex mosquito breeding sites in an urban desert and finds they are cooler than macroclimates, suggesting better thermal buffering for larvae.

The paper analyzes coexistence of two competing species with evolving traits, showing that equal trait variances limit coexistence scenarios and that invasion analysis must consider multiple eco-evolutionary equilibria.

The paper investigates how temperature affects mosquito parasite infection across a climate gradient, finding nonlinear thermal responses and consistent results between field and lab studies.

This study models current and future dengue risk in California by integrating vector presence, temperature suitability, and travel-associated cases, finding that 18.2 million residents are at risk now and an additional 4.1 million may be at risk by mid-century under climate warming and urban expansion.

The paper develops an eco-evolutionary model to study anthelmintic resistance spread in helminths, finding that life cycle parameters influence resistance spread rates across species.

This study reviews 178 studies on mosquito range shifts, finding most expansions linked to human activities rather than climate change.

This study estimates thermal safety margins for 8 mosquito species across their ranges to assess vulnerability to climate warming, finding higher vulnerability in subtropical regions and desert biomes.

The paper examines body size and thermal tolerance in mosquito populations across a latitudinal gradient, finding that lower latitude populations are more thermally tolerant and smaller.
