The paper models how avian and mosquito biodiversity influences West Nile virus transmission in Veneto, Italy, finding that higher avian diversity increases viral presence in agricultural areas but a dilution effect occurs in ecologically intact regions.

The paper examines functional strategies of parasitoid bristle flies and their larvae, finding that larvae and adults exhibit distinct functional traits and that specialization can occur synergistically across life stages.

This study maps the habitat suitability of Culex pipiens in Europe using ensemble bioclimatic modelling and identifies imperviousness as the most influential predictor.
