New paper by NRI scientists @chickpeaman, @framaha & colleagues describes innovative way to identify mosquito plant hosts from ingested nectar. It advances our understanding of vector-insect ecology – with key implications for tackling vector-borne diseases.
Check it out ⤵️
Our new paper is out “Identifying mosquito plant hosts from ingested nectar secondary metabolites.” We determine species-specific phytophagy in mosquitoes by detecting taxon-specific secondary metabolites in nectar. nature.com/articles/s41598-0… @KewScience @cntrouniv @NRInstitute

During my PhD, I got alot of unhelpful advice
Now I'm a PhD supervisor, I know 💯 what I needed to hear
4 things every PhD student should know 🧵

Oh this is exciting
This Culex pipiens specimen was collected nearly a 100 years ago by Miss G. Edward’s - that’s Grace Edward’s - artist and model maker (here is her mosquito on display at the @NHM_London)
What a lady! @ohreallyhells #mosquitoes #STEM

Robert Desowitz first published the #Malaria Capers in early 90s. I first read the book in 2000/01 and again in 2012 (thanks to my PhD advisor)
Re-reading it now, and i can't help noticing how true a reflection, Bob's introductory writings remain of our current state of affairs

Extremely disappointed to see this from @YouGov. In the midst of a biodiversity crisis, where numbers of many important and valuable invertebrate species are declining, such negative invertebrate propaganda is highly irresponsible and more reminiscent of the tabloid press.
The UK is expected to see a record number of bugs this autumn. An appropriate time, then, to re-share the country's most disliked creepy crawlies:
Spiders: 22%
Wasps: 19%
Cockroaches: 18%
Mosquitos: 11%
Slugs/snails: 6%
Flies: 4%
Earwigs: 4%
Moths: 3%
