Sub-lethal pesticide exposure facilitates the potential northward range shifts of ticks by increasing cold tolerance and overwintering survival

This study shows that sublethal pesticide exposure increases cold tolerance and overwintering survival in ticks, potentially enabling northward range shifts by improving their ability to survive low temperatures.

Drought tolerance of Aedes aegypti mosquito eggs is influenced by adaptation to local climate conditions and associations with humans

This study examines how drought tolerance of Aedes aegypti mosquito eggs varies with climate conditions and human association, finding urban mosquitoes have higher survival under arid conditions.

Impaired humidity sensing reduces tick survival by preventing water homeostasis

This study shows that impaired humidity sensing in ticks reduces survival by disrupting water homeostasis, particularly under variable environmental conditions.
