1.
Haba Y, Aardema M, Afonso M, Agramonte N, Albright J, Alho A, et al.
bioRxiv . 2025 Feb; PMID: 39975080
Understanding how life is adapting to urban environments represents an important challenge in evolutionary biology. Here we investigate a widely cited example of urban adaptation, form , also known as...

Heilig M, Sturiale S, Marzec S, Holzapfel C, Bradshaw W, Meuti M, et al.
J Med Entomol . 2024 Feb; 61(2):367-376. PMID: 38306459
We evaluated miRNA and mRNA expression differences in head tissues between avid-biting vs. reluctant-biting Aedes albopictus (Skuse) females from a single population over a 20-min timescale. We found no differences...

Marzec S, Siperstein A, Zhou A, Holzapfel C, Bradshaw W, Meuti M, et al.
Insects . 2023 Aug; 14(8). PMID: 37623410
Understanding the molecular and physiological processes underlying biting behavior in vector mosquitoes has important implications for developing novel strategies to suppress disease transmission. Here, we conduct small-RNA sequencing and qRT-PCR...

Bradshaw W, Fletcher M, Holzapfel C
J Comp Physiol A Neuroethol Sens Neural Behav Physiol . 2023 Jun; 210(4):649-666. PMID: 37322375
Wyeomyia smithii, the pitcher-plant mosquito, has evolved from south to north and from low to high elevations in eastern North America. Along this seasonal gradient, critical photoperiod has increased while...

Bradshaw W, Kizziar P, Borowczak R, Kirsch E, Holzapfel C
Insects . 2022 Oct; 13(10). PMID: 36292887
Conventional wisdom is that selection decreases genetic variation in populations, variation that should enable and be essential for population persistence in an ever-changing world. Basically, we find the opposite. Response...

Siperstein A, Marzec S, Fritz M, Holzapfel C, Bradshaw W, Armbruster P, et al.
Evol Appl . 2022 May; 15(5):878-890. PMID: 35603026
Mosquitoes transmit a wide variety of devastating pathogens when they bite vertebrate hosts and feed on their blood. However, three entire mosquito genera and many individual species in other genera...

Bradshaw W, Burkhart J, Colbourne J, Borowczak R, Lopez J, Denlinger D, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2017 Dec; 115(5):1009-1014. PMID: 29255013
The spread of blood-borne pathogens by mosquitoes relies on their taking a blood meal; if there is no bite, there is no disease transmission. Although many species of mosquitoes never...

Bradshaw W, Holzapfel C
Adv Genet . 2017 Oct; 99:39-71. PMID: 29050554
Seasonal change in the temperate and polar regions of Earth determines how the world looks around us and, in fact, how we live our day-to-day lives. For biological organisms, seasonal...
9.
Denlinger D, Hahn D, Merlin C, Holzapfel C, Bradshaw W
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci . 2017 Oct; 372(1734). PMID: 28993500
Seasonal change in daylength (photoperiod) is widely used by insects to regulate temporal patterns of development and behaviour, including the timing of diapause (dormancy) and migration. Flexibility of the photoperiodic...

Armbruster P, Bradshaw W, Holzapfel C
Evolution . 2017 Jun; 51(2):451-458. PMID: 28565340
We examined the genetic basis for evolutionary divergence among geographic populations of the pitcher-plant mosquito, Wyeomyia smithii, using protein electrophoresis and line-cross analysis. Line-cross experiments were performed under both low...
