| avian malaria parasites share congeneric mosquito vectors. | assessing parasite specificity to vector is crucial to understanding the emergence of vector-borne diseases and the evolution of parasite diversity. avian malaria parasites have a cosmopolitan distribution and broad avian host range, which together predict they are vector generalists, but little is known about parasite-vector associations in the wild. we tested this prediction by asking if 5 different mosquito species, known to feed on birds and abundant in the northeastern united states, were n ... | 2010 | 19697968 |

| north american wetlands and mosquito control. | wetlands are valuable habitats that provide important social, economic, and ecological services such as flood control, water quality improvement, carbon sequestration, pollutant removal, and primary/secondary production export to terrestrial and aquatic food chains. there is disagreement about the need for mosquito control in wetlands and about the techniques utilized for mosquito abatement and their impacts upon wetlands ecosystems. mosquito control in wetlands is a complex issue influenced by ... | 2012 | 23222252 |
| integrative taxonomy for continental-scale terrestrial insect observations. | although 21(st) century ecology uses unprecedented technology at the largest spatio-temporal scales in history, the data remain reliant on sound taxonomic practices that derive from 18(th) century science. the importance of accurate species identifications has been assessed repeatedly and in instances where inappropriate assignments have been made there have been costly consequences. the national ecological observatory network (neon) will use a standardized system based upon an integrative taxon ... | 2012 | 22666362 |
| three new mosquito records for north carolina. | recently enhanced mosquito surveillance programs in northeastern north carolina have resulted in the collection of ochlerotatus aurifer, oc. cantator, and oc. grossbecki. these specimens represent the 1st confirmed north carolina records of these species. collection-site and species distribution data are included. | 2004 | 15672509 |

| first record of aedes aurifer in kentucky. | aedesaurifer were collected for the 1st time in madison county, ky, during a survey of adult female mosquitoes in the summer of 2016. a total of 15 ae. aurifer females were captured from 4 survey sites during the months of july and august. twelve of the ae. aurifer specimens collected were captured in bg-1 sentinel™ traps baited with carbon dioxide, octenol, and bg-human skin extract lure®, while the other 3 specimens were captured with the centers for disease control and prevention miniature li ... | 2018 | 31442113 |
