Planetary Ecologist<p>Necromeny (Ecology 🏞️)</p><p>Necromeny is a symbiotic relationship where an animal infects a host and waits inside its body until its death, at which point it develops and completes its life-cycle on the cadaver, feeding on the decaying matter and the subsequent bacterial growth. As the necromenic animal benefits from the relationship while the host is unharmed, it is an example of commensalism....</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necromeny" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necromeny</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Necromeny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Necromeny</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ecology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ecology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Parasitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Parasitism</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Parasitology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Parasitology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DiseaseEcology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DiseaseEcology</span></a></p>

@An0n @Alice I was chuffed to learn that mosquito birth control has been deployed! Ex: civilbeat.org/2023/04/historic

I won't be surprised if Christofascist DOGE script kiddies kill EPA funding to these pilot programs via bad search & replace.

(In all seriousness, there are several kinds of mosquito control programs that utilize Wolbachia, all pretty cool, c.f. worldmosquitoprogram.org/en/le .)

Climate change explains much of this year’s jump in dengue cases and the long-term increase in the disease over the past two decades. There are ever fewer places where temperatures drop below 15°C in winter, the level at which mosquitoes tend to die out, so there are more virus-carrying insects in circulation, ready to surge, once temperatures rise in the spring.

The Economist · Dengue fever is surging in Latin AmericaBy The Economist

Italian physician, naturalist, biologist & poet Francesco Redi died #OTD in 1697.

A rationalist of his time, he was a critic of spontaneous generation. He disproved that vipers drink wine & could break glasses, and that their venom was poisonous when ingested. He correctly observed that snake venoms were produced from the fangs, not the gallbladder, as was believed. He was also the first to recognize and correctly describe details of about 180 parasites. via @wikipedia
