Morphology-based classification of the flying capacities of aquatic insects: A first attempt.

Flight is a key feature of the reproduction and dispersal of emerging aquatic insects. However, morphological measurements of insect flight are mostly available for terrestrial taxa and dragonflies, while aquatic insects have been poorly investigated. We analyzed 7 flight-related morphological parameters of 32 taxa belonging to 5 orders of emerging aquatic insects (Ephemeroptera, Trichoptera, Plecoptera, Diptera, and Megaloptera) with different life history traits related to flight (dispersal strategy, voltinism, adult lifespan, and swarming behavior).

Glycemic Outcomes and Nurse Perceptions of Continuous Glucose Monitoring for Hospitalized Patients.

Background: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) can decrease hypoglycemic events and health care costs; however, barriers and facilitators that influence CGM use are unknown.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate hypoglycemic events and cost outcomes after CGM implementation and describe associated barriers and facilitators.

Methods: A mixed-methods study design was used to evaluate CGM implementation on 2 pulmonary units within an academic health center.

Distribution, abundance, population structures, and potential impacts of the invasive snail, in aquatic ecosystems of north-eastern South Africa.

Aquatic ecosystems globally have been invaded by molluscs. is a highly successful invader, often becoming the dominant aquatic invertebrate species in an invaded ecosystem. Resultingly, it has been suggested that may have severe negative impacts on these invaded ecosystems.

Ten simple rules for computational biologists collaborating with wet lab researchers.

Computational biologists are frequently engaged in collaborative data analysis with wet lab researchers. These interdisciplinary projects, as necessary as they are to the scientific endeavor, can be surprisingly challenging due to cultural differences in operations and values. In this Ten Simple Rules guide, we aim to help dry lab researchers identify sources of friction and provide actionable tools to facilitate respectful, open, transparent, and rewarding collaborations.
