A casual scroll through the real estate ads of suburban Melbourne reveals a popular feature: modern houses and renovations prioritizing an "indoor-outdoor flow." This commonly used design term means blending an outdoor living space with an indoor room, often the kitchen or living room.

We have probably all consumed different body parts of fruit flies – without any known ill effects. But the fruit fly is much more than an annoying house guest. In fact, Drosophila melanogaster has been one of the most important species for science for more than a century.

Possums are a local wildlife reservoir for M. ulcerans and, although mosquitoes have been implicated in transmission, it remains unclear how humans acquire infection. We conducted extensive field survey analyses of M. ulcerans prevalence among mosquitoes in the Mornington Peninsula region of southeastern Australia.

1 INTRODUCTION Translocations can be a powerful tool in conservation biology to establish new populations and genetically rescue existing populations (e.g., Griffith et al., 1989; Weeks et al., 2011). Vertebrate translocations are increasing in frequency, and detailed protocols have been established to decide when and how to do them and how to monitor their success.
