Article Synopsis
  • Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are key carriers of dengue, and factors like urbanization, climate change, and trade are affecting their populations.
  • Higher temperatures have been shown to impact insect mortality and fertility, with this study focusing on how heat influences the fertility of Ae. aegyti across different generations.
  • Results indicated that while mosquitoes can acclimate to heat, their fertility declines with increasing temperatures, affecting both male and female mosquitoes’ ability to reproduce and produce viable offspring, which could impact their populations in warmer climates.

Global oceans are warming and acidifying because of increasing greenhouse gas emissions that are anticipated to have cascading impacts on marine ecosystems and organisms, especially those essential for biodiversity and food security. Despite this concern, there remains some skepticism about the reproducibility and reliability of research done to predict future climate change impacts on marine organisms. Here, we present meta-analyses of over two decades of research on the climate change impacts on an ecologically and economically valuable Sydney rock oyster, .

Introduction: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) are treated by well-co-ordinated multi-disciplinary neuromuscular teams. With a comprehensive multidisciplinary team, co-ordinating the transfer to adult care is a challenge. Orthopaedic care becomes fragmented as patients transfer from paediatric orthopaedic surgeons with training in multi-joint neuromuscular conditions (NMCs), to adult orthopaedic surgeons where this expertise rarely exists.
