The growing scale of human enterprise and lack of family-owned livestock is leading to
lesser recycling and higher production of food wastes. The safe technology, for removal of …

The use of frogs and tadpoles for disease vector control is still largely unexplored. Frogs are
an important part of the ecosystem with a role for insect and pest control including …

Mosquito-borne diseases, including malaria are undergoing a global resurgence [1-7]. The
factors responsible for the re-emergence are very complex, and management requires …

Among all the malaria controlling measures, biological control of mosquito larvae may be
the cheapest and easiest to implement. This study investigated baseline predation of …

Global warming and invasive species, separately or combined, can impose a large impact
on the condition of native species. However, we know relatively little about how these two …

The article reviews predators that are able to control populations of mosquito larvae
(Culicidae) in phytotelmata and their anthropogenic analogs. The spectrum of mosquito …

Tropical aquatic environments host a large number of predatory insects including
heteropteran water bugs Anisops bouvieri Kirkaldy, 1704 (Heteroptera: Notonectidae) …

Global wetland loss means constructed urban wetlands are an increasingly valuable
resource for conservation. However, priorities for managing urban wetlands for conservation …

Colonisation of crustacean zooplankton with ciliate epibionts is widespread in freshwater
and marine environments. However, the ecology of such association are little studied as yet …

Predator-prey interactions influence prey traits through both consumptive and non-
consumptive effects, and variation in these traits can shape vector-borne disease dynamics …
