Insects +Diseases & Pathogens (Coleoptera, Diptera, Ephemeroptera, Hymenoptera, and Lepidoptera) - Insects encompass a group of small arthropod animals with bodies in 3 segments (head, thorax, and abdomen). They have 3 pairs of legs, 2 antennae, and usually one or two pairs of wings. Insects include flies, mosquitoes, beetles, butterflies, bees, crickets, and dragonflies.

National Resources Monitoring Partnership (NRMP)

Publisher: NBII | Format: URL

www.nbii.gov — Natural resource managers face complex decisions that require a clear understanding of the status of wildlife populations and their habitats. Monitoring is key to making effective management decisions and evaluating the outcomes of those decisions. The goal of NRMP is to improve the accessibility of monitoring efforts to resource managers to aid More...

National Resources Monitoring Partnership (NRMP) Newsletter

Publisher: USGS | Science Center: Fort Collins Science Center (FORT, Ft. Collins) | Format: URL

www.fort.usgs.gov — Natural Resource Monitoring Partnership (NRMP) is a collaborative effort by the natural resource management community to improve monitoring efforts in order to support effective evaluation and decision-making by sharing information on monitoring projects and protocols. The Natural Resource Monitoring Partnership was built for easy access to More...

Impacts of Introduced Avian Diseases on the Decline and Extinction of Native Hawaiian Honeycreepers

Publisher: USGS | Science Center: Pacific Island Ecosystems Research Center (PIERC, Honolulu) | Format: URL

biology.usgs.gov — How is avian pox and malaria impacting native Hawaiian honeycreepers? USGS scientists in Hawaii conduct surveys, develop new diagnostic tools, and test management strategies to understand the impacts of these introduced vector borne diseases on native Hawaiian wildlife.

Effect of Malaria on Experimentally Infected Hawaiian Birds

Publisher: USGS | Science Center: Pacific Island Ecosystems Research Center (PIERC, Honolulu) | Format: URL

biology.usgs.gov — USGS scientists build on the research of ornithologists in the 1800's and 1950's to show whether native Hawaiian birds are in fact highly susceptable to mosquito-transmitted avian diseases such as pox and malaria. The results help explain current population patterns and could potentially aid resource managers in selecting birds for restoration in More...

Seasonal Prevalence and Transmission of Avian Pox and Malaria in Hawaiian Forest Birds

Publisher: USGS | Science Center: Pacific Island Ecosystems Research Center (PIERC, Honolulu) | Format: URL

biology.usgs.gov — Many native Hawaiian forest birds have become endangered and extinct, possibly due to introduced avian diseases. Scientists use genetics, long term studies, and sentinel chickens and canaries to learn the prevalence and impacts of malaria and avian pox on native Hawaiian forest birds.
