Abstract Connections between food security and nutrition (FSN) mental health have been analytically investigated, but conclusions are difficult to draw given the breadth of literature. Furthermore, there is little guidance for continued research. We searched three databases analytical studies linking FSN health. Out 30,896 records, we characterized mapped 1945 onto an interactive Evidence Gap Map (EGM). In these studies, anthropometry (especially BMI) diets were most linked (predominantly...
Summary Mate location and mate selection behavior in diurnally-active yellow fever mosquitoes, Aedes aegypti , take place mating swarms but the mechanisms underlying swarm formation long-range detection of females by males remain largely unexplored. In high-speed video recordings we show that incident light reflects off wings swarming males, behavioral experiments demonstrate recognition are mediated, part, these wingbeat flashes sound signals operate at long short range, respectively. To...
