Microplastics (MPs) are common environmental pollutants; however, little is known about their effects after ingestion by insects. Here we fed Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti (L.) and albopictus (Skuse) mosquito larvae 1 µm polystyrene MPs examined the impacts of on adult emergence rates, gut damage, fungal bacterial microbiota. Results show that accumulate in larval guts, resulting damage. However, impact rates was observed. also found guts postemergence from pupal stage, adults expel frass...

Abstract The Entomological Society of America (ESA) Student Debates is an annual student competition at the ESA Annual Meeting organized by Subcommittee (SDS) members Affairs Committee. In conjunction with 2023 theme, ‘Insects and influence: Advancing entomology’s impact on people policy’, theme this year’s debate was ‘Addressing emerging issues in entomology’. With aid membership, SDS selected following topics: (1) Should disclosure artificial intelligence large language models scientific...
