Our results showed that in the presence of both light and kairomone the number of Diptera dominated by the Culicidae family was the highest (69% of captured insects) compared to the numbers of other orders of insects trapped in the Ambohidray site. This can be explained by the positive phototropism of nocturnal Diptera in relation […] More

Study area We chose northern Michigan, USA, for our study because it represents a reasonably isolated population of little brown bats (Fig. 1A); WNS is present throughout our study area, and was first detected there in early 2014. We sample non-survivors from hibernation sites during the winter and survivors during the summer (when they are no […] More
Study site and sample collection The study site was a mixed forest of P. densiflora, a coniferous tree, and broad-leaved deciduous trees at an elevation of ~1,300 m in the Sugadaira Research Station (N36°31′17″, E138°20′60″), University of Tsukuba. According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, statistical data for 1981−2010, the average annual temperature of this area is […] More
Cross-community migration is pervasive in rural Uganda Rakai District is a predominantly rural district in south-central Uganda (area ~2200 km2, population ~518,000) bordered by Masaka District to the north, Tanzania to the south, and Lake Victoria to the east. The Rakai Community Cohort Study (RCCS) is an open population-based household census and cohort of adults aged […] More

What do the numbers show The Cc females that were observed in Akumal were increasingly frequent but decreased in size in the last years of the conservation programme. It is probable that many Cc born on Akumal beaches were recruited to nest, showing philopatric behaviour. The results show that the Cc nesting in Akumal deposited […] More
