Segregation Histories, Wealth, and Community Engagement Shape Inequitable Burdens of Urban Greening
Incorporating vegetation into urban landscapes (hereafter, greening) has numerous ecological and social benefits. Not all greening processes are intentional, though, and not all nature conveys benefits to urban residents under conditions of uneven urban development, racial segregation, and unrecognized care work. We describe a framework for integrating multiple lines of evidence to explore the social contexts and socioecological impacts of urban …
Diffusing responsibility, decentralizing infrastructure
A paradigm shift process has begun in stormwater governance and management in the United States, away from centralized infrastructure and toward more decentralized practices. This transition is prompted by heightened climate change, increased urbanization, and an intense call for change in regulatory measures. Within this shift, two key and related developments have arisen: (1) the implementation of small-scale, green infrastructure, and (2) the …
Towards attaining green sustainability goals of cities through social transitions
Effects of Detritus on the Mosquito Culex pipiens
Species interactions that influence the performance of the exotic mosquito Culex pipiens can have important effects on the transmission risk of West Nile virus (WNV). Invasive plants that alter the vegetation communities of ephemeral ground pools may facilitate or resist the spread of C. pipiens (L.) by altering allochthonous inputs of detritus in those pools. To test this hypothesis, we combined field surveys of roadside stormwater ditches with …
Understanding stakeholder perspectives on agricultural best management practices and environmental change in the Chesapeake Bay
A Tale of Two City Blocks
Infrastructure degradation in many post-industrial cities has increased the availability of potential mosquito habitats, including container habitats that support infestations of invasive disease-vectors. This study is unique in examining both immature and adult mosquito abundance across the fine-scale variability in socio-economic condition that occurs block-to-block in many cities. We hypothesized that abundant garbage associated with infrastru…
Linking Mosquito Infestation to Resident Socioeconomic Status, Knowledge, and Source Reduction Practices in Suburban Washington, DC
Higher Mosquito Production in Low-Income Neighborhoods of Baltimore and Washington, DC
Mosquito-vectored pathogens are responsible for devastating human diseases and are (re)emerging in many urban environments. Effective mosquito control in urban landscapes relies on improved understanding of the complex interactions between the ecological and social factors that define where mosquito populations can grow. We compared the density of mosquito habitat and pupae production across economically varying neighborhoods in two temperate U.S…
Impacts of Climate, Land Use, and Biological Invasion on the Ecology of Immature Aedes Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes Associated with Ditch-Plugged and Control Tidal Salt Marshes on the Delmarva Peninsula
A study was conducted during the summer of 2009 (from July to September) to characterize mosquito communities among different habitats in five historically ditched tidal salt marshes and three adjacent wooded areas in the E.A. Vaughn Wetland Management Area on the Maryland Delmarva Peninsula, USA. Study marshes are characteristic of Atlantic coastal salt marshes that had undergone grid ditching from the 1930s to 1950s. In the autumn of 2008 (Octo…
