TL;DR: A model to examine the impact of directly transmitted macroparasites on the competition and population dynamics of two sympatric host species suggests that host intrinsic growth rate, host carrying capacity, susceptibility, parasite pathogenicity, and the magnitude of parasite aggregation are important components influencing host coexistence.

TL;DR: A number of challenges need to be met in order to apply population genetic tests for selection in Anopheles mosquitoes; in particular the dearth of suitable outgroup species and the potential difficulties that arise when working within a closely‐related species complex.

TL;DR: The mortality rates of the fourth instars subjected to diving stimulations were significantly higher than those in the shallow water columns, suggesting that larval diving behavior may offer the benefits of predator avoidance and food acquisition but also incur energetic costs and increased mortality.

TL;DR: The conclusion that resistance to pyrethroids is a complex and evolving phenotype, dependent on multiple gene functions including, but not limited to, metabolic detoxification, is supported.

TL;DR: This study exposed a field-collected population of Culex pipiens pallens to different insecticides selection intensities to dynamically monitor the development of resistance, and revealed that the level of pyrethroid resistance was proportional to the insecticide selection pressure.
