Reskeet please. As the fall semester is upon us I'm reposting this. Looking for 1-2 students (US based only). The lab is open to interests in ecology, evolution, systematics, and taxonomy of mosquitoes. Work could take place in Puerto Rico, around the Gulf Coast, or could even involved museum work.

Today, we joined the global malaria community to mark #WorldMosquitoDay2025.

From India to The Gambia, malaria continues to pose a serious threat.

@malaria-sam.bsky.social & Annette emphasise the importance of ongoing research in driving malaria control & bringing us closer to elimination.

World Mosquito Day 2025: Europe sets new records for mosquito-borne diseases - ECDC supporting Member States in adapting to โ€˜new normalโ€™ ECDC has warned that record breaking outbreaks of West Nile virus (WNV) infection and chikungunya virus disease point to a โ€˜new normalโ€™ in Europe.

"Europe is entering a new phase โ€” where longer, more widespread and more intense transmission of mosquito borne disease is becoming the new normal."

Discovery and description of a novel mode of oviposition in the mosquito genus Culex Scientific Reports - Discovery and description of a novel mode of oviposition in the mosquito genus Culex

I am back with great news. A project by a former undergrad, Liz Wynne, is now out in publication. In it she discovered a mosquito in the genus Culex that lays eggs from the air (like a Toxorhynchites) and exhibits skip oviposition (spreading eggs around). An amazing discovery! ๐ŸฆŸ๐Ÿพ

A dark brown mosquito is on a slightly hairy leg. This view looks onto the face and thorax of the insect vent to probe its proboscis into my skin. The brown legs fold out from the sides of the thorax with the hind legs lifted into the air behind the insect. Because the thorax and head are bent down, the wings and abdomen are running away from the plane of focus and get blurry in the distance
