Hello bug lovers! Over the next two episodes, the Arthro-Pod gang is going to explore the science behind alpha-gal, also known as the red meat allergy. This is a hot topic in the US right now, with many news outlets talking about the possible extent to which this is spread out across the country. This tickborne issue, associated with lone star ticks in the US, results in an inability to consume red meat such as beef, pork, and venison. For those who live with alpha-gal, life is very different from before. They may not be able to enjoy a favorite meal or be very anxious about dining out for fear of contamination, to say nothing of the actual health issues involved. Tune in today to hear from Cindy Cochran, a Nebraskan living with alpha-gal, as well as Dr. Cosby Stone Jr., a doctor and researcher from Vanderbilt who is a national leader on alpha-gal. An adult, female lone star tick.

Arthro-Pod EP 141: Exploring Alpha-Gal Part One

Jesse Evans

 Hello bug lovers and uh, tick haters, to today's show! Today, the gang is joined by Jesse Evans, a master's student at Penn State. Jesse studies the intersection of ticks, wildlife, and wildfires- specifically controlled burns. People who have been dealing with surging tick populations seem to frequently wonder if fire could be to ticks what it once was to Frankenstein's monster, a potential deterrent. Tune in to hear Jesse discuss wild mice populations, how fickle fire can be for research, and how large-scale landscape changes may affect something like Lyme disease. Show notesStudent spotlightJesse's publication on citizen science projects and vector surveillanceQuestions?

Arthro-Pod EP 135: The Arthro-Pod Gang Goes Home

Howdy bug lover's and welcome to today's episode of Arthro-Pod! Over the last couple of years, Jonathan has noticed it seems like the Colorado potato beetle pops up again and again in the history of entomology. So, for today's show, he tried to cover this handsome beetle's history from the 1800s until today. It's a crazy tale that involved colonization, war, Cold War era tactics, and even the Ukrainian-Russian War. Tune in to hear how this humble coleopteran from the Great Plains has become an international super bug!We would also love to direct you to listener Emily Sur's design store!

Michael Skvarla

Recently, Michael has been making the rounds in the news due to a discovery he made starting in 2012 back in his old stomping grounds of Arkansas. What started with insect collected straight off the side of a Wal-Mart has ended with a media blitz covering the epiphany that Mike had in front of a Zoom class in 2020 and the release of a journal article focused on a giant lacewing! Tune in and read on to find out more.  Photograph of the giant lacewing specimen, used as Figure 1 in the publication about the discoveryScreenshots of Michael teaching his Biodiversity and Taxonomy class over Zoom when he determined that the specimen was a giant lacewing. This is what the class was seeing as the discovery happened.Show notesIf you want to read the paper that reported the discovery, it can be found here.

Arthro-Pod EP 131: The Life of a Curator with Dr. Ainsley Seago

 Insects are extremely diverse. Part of that diversity is apparent in the ways that they consume their preferred food. Today, inspired by an anonymous listener question, the Arthro-Pod gang goes over the different types of insect mouths and how they help insects to begin the process of digestion. Then join them as they traverse the three "guts" of insects and end up on the other side of the anus with insect frass. It's an episode with lots of colorful descriptions and turns of phrase, that's for sure. Insect mouths come in different shapes and perform different jobs but they contain the same parts across most of the board; a labrum, the mandibles, maxillae, the hypopharnyx, and the labiumChewing mouths are the most common of all mouths, found on predators and herbivores such as this grasshopperChewing-lapping mouthparts can chew pollen and help with lapping up honey and nectarSiphoning mouthparts are unique, they have been modified to curl up and unfurl and help slurp up nectarPiercing-sucking mouthparts can be used to suck juices from plants, or as this wheel bug would do, to suck the juices from preySponging mouthparts are found on many flies, they use these to acquire liquid foodShow noteshttps://genent.cals.ncsu.edu/bug-bytes/digestive-system/https://www.ndsu.edu/pubweb/~rider/Pentatomoidea/Teaching%20Structure/Lecture%20Notes/Week%2011a%20Digestive%20System.pdfSome of Jody's favorite bug pooDrywood termite frass is quite distinctTomato hornworm frass is often compared to the shape of a hand grenadeHere a tortoise shell beetle uses frass as a defensive shieldQuestions?

Arthro-Pod EP 130: Eat, digest, poop- how insects eat

 Welcome to the 2023 season of Arthro-Pod! In today's episode, we meet up with Dr. JoVonn Hill of Mississippi State and the Mississippi Entomological Museum to have our final word on Rocky Mountain locust. We've heard about their historical destruction, we've covered the biology of what happened on the plains all those years ago, and now we want to hear about the current era of research on this insect. Plus, JoVonn shares his story of how he got into entomology, how to become an orthopterist, and how the outreach mission of the Mississippi Entomological Museum works.

Arthro-Pod EP 128: Rocky Mountain Locust Book Club part 2

Jeffrey Lockwood

 Welcome back to Arthro-Pod bug lovers! Today, we are trying something new. As we conclude 2022, we decided to have a "book club" type approach to our next two episodes. One book that has been on our mind when considering a book club was "Locust" by Jeffrey Lockwood, of the University of Wyoming. We hope you will pick up the book or check it out from your local library and join us on an entomological history journey that concludes with an extinction cold case being solved in the chilly glaciers of Yellowstone National Park. Then, let us know what you think by tagging us on Twitter, @arthro_podshow or one of the hosts (@bugmanjon, @jodybugsmeUNL, @mskvarla36). But, for today, tune in and hear what we think!Check out "Locust" by Jeffrey Lockwood and let us know what you think!Show NotesMental Floss article on Rocky mountain locustLatter Day Saints article on the pestEarly Lockwood newspaper article on the topicThe locust swarm of the late 1870s was devastating to white settlers taking over areas in the mid-plains of the United StatesQuestions?

Arthro-Pod 127: Arthro-Pod Book Club, "Locust" by Jeffrey Lockwood

Today's episode is a special treat as we invite our very own, Michael Skvarla to swap his host hat for a guest's chair. For years, Jody has wanted to pick Mike's brain about deer keds, a topic both she and Jonathan know little about. Luckily, over the past few years, Mike has become something on an expert on the topic. Tune in to learn all about these ectoparasitic, wingless, and interesting flies and how they live, thrive, and survive (plus a little about when people run into them). It's us! Talking about deer keds!   Also wanted to give a big shoutout to Jody for winning an award for excellence in Extension for her efforts in Nebraska and around the country. We're very proud of her and her commitment to science communication and we hope you will drop her a note of congratulations!Show Notes  CONTENT WARNING: DEAD ANIMALS. All photographs by Michael Skvarla unless otherwise noted.  European deer ked (Lipoptena cervi). Mammal-feeding deer keds emerge with wings but shed them after landing on a host. Photo by Erika Machtinger, Penn State University.European deer ked on a white-tailed deer. This ked has shed it's wings. The abdomen has expanded after it took a blood meal. European deer ked on a white-tailed deer.European deer keds on the muzzle of an elk. This photo was not staged, the keds were just very abundant.Michael and Penn State Vector Ecology Lab personnel searching for deer keds on a white-tailed deer at deer processors across Pennsylvania. Photos by Erika Matchinger and Michael Skvarla, Penn State University.We searched through literal piles of deer. The easiest way to find deer keds on host is to part the hair in sequence like you're sifting through papers in a file folder. We found that the best way to do that quickly was using a louse comb. Fine forceps are then used to grab the ked before it "swims" back into the hair.Pennsylvania elk at the PA Game Commission elk check station. Deer keds will land on any cervid, including deer and elk. Elk season in Pennsylvania is earlier than deer rifle season, so gave us an opportunity to collect deer keds a few weeks earlier than usual.Neotropical deer keds on a white-tailed deer harvested in Tennessee. Similar to European deer keds in Pennsylvania, some deer in Tennessee were loaded with keds while others were comparatively clean.Example of a PA Parasite Hunters collection kit that was sent to hunters to collect ticks and deer keds from deer they harvested.To test if deer keds responded to common insect repellents such as DEET, we marked off sections on a sock, applied the repellent, put the sock over an arm, and allowed keds to freely climb from an arena up the sock. At the end of 5 minutes we scored if they crossed the repellent or not.Questions?

For years, Jody has wanted to pick Mike's brain about deer keds, a topic both she and Jonathan know little about. Luckily, over the past few years, Mike has become something on an expert on the topic. <a href="http://ia601507.us.archive.org/20/items/apep-126-deer-kedwith-dr-mike-skvarla/APEP126DeerKedwithDrMikeSkvarla.mp3" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tune in to learn all about</a> these ectoparasitic, wingless, and interesting flies and how they live, thrive, and survive (plus a little about when people run into them). <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipZJV3iiVRpPT3TWASnxr3jP15ySOYnXhRgliulGvn6D4lQdDIDJuuTOAbWUBpPoU60l_NqLZu67nr2gibVv9og70QvdvFKD-6lVqpaRmeK0WFcZT93RpTQ4UN1pW5eHUfx9pPvtWwDAmd0ANzvV6IYeGmbhjoCqT1_EwEdB-993J08u6jQGiM8RMXrw/s1546/Screenshot%202022-11-18%20104049.jpg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a>It's us!

Arthro-Pod EP 126: Deer Keds with our own Michael Skvarla

Howdy bug lovers! Today's show is inspired by a listener request to talk about the different graduate entomology programs you can find here in the United States. We didn't want to rank programs necessarily, so we decided to talk about what we think is most important to think about when you are choosing a school to call home for a master's or doctoral degree. Tune in to hear about how each of us ended up in our graduate programs, what to look for in a potential mentor, some of the pitfalls of grad school, and maybe some advice on how to stay sane while you study your favorite insects!Show NotesThere are rankings online that are aimed to help you see which entomology departments are the “best” though but question if the data used to create these ranking is applicable to you and your success as a graduate student. Does a program with many faculty or high level of federal funding necessarily have a good graduate experience?·         https://www.collegefactual.com/majors/biological-biomedical-sciences/zoology/entomology/rankings/top-ranked/·         https://www.collegeraptor.com/Majors/Details/26.0702/Level/Masters-degree/State/All/Entomology/·         https://www.universities.com/programs/entomology-degreesYou can check out this link from the Entomological Society of America for a fairly exhaustive list of possible grad school programs in entomology Questions?
