In a #replicated, #controlled #experiment on wild-caught #Culex spp. #mosquitoes, Thormeyer and Tseng (2023) found no effect of #microplastics at either high doses of at field-relevant doses.
Quote: “Overall, our results showed that doses of 200 or 20,000 #particles per ml of 4.8–5.8 μm polystyrene beads had no effect on the #body #size, #development, or #growth #rate of Cx #pipiens or Cx #tarsalis.”

Chère Fanny, certaines espèces de moustiques, notamment les "moustiques communs" du genre #Culex (Culex pipiens, Culex torrentium...), survivent depuis toujours à l'hiver au stade adulte en cherchant refuge dans nos maisons ou d'autres abris. 1/3

Still time to apply! #postdoc at @caes@twitter.com on insecticide resistance in #culex mosquitoes and #popgenomics. Good colleagues, nice city, exciting research, life-work balance.
