Field deployments, flume experiments, and a 2D wave model have been used to identify the characteristics of Clark-type oxygen microelectrodes and measurement parameters that could possibly bias eddy correlation (EC) flux measurements made under waves. Eddy correlation is a technique adapted from atmospheric sciences that couples concurrent and co-located velocity...
I tested a theoretical model proposing that anemia
favors transmission of blood-borne parasites to vectors
by accelerating the blood-feeding rate. Using Aedes
aegypti, the yellow fever mosquito, initially, I was not
able to confirm this phenomenon either in an artificial
or a live system; anemia did not correlate with blood-feeding...
