The importance of insects for angiosperm pollination is widely recognized. In fact,
approximately 90% of all plant species benefit from animal-mediated pollination. However …

Stream and terrestrial ecosystems are intimately connected by riparian zones that support
high biodiversity but are also vulnerable to human impacts. Landscape disturbances …

The human skin microbiome reportedly contributes to the attraction of mosquitoes to human
