“…Furthermore, they were absent on mouflon and hare, which were also included in our sampling. This result confirms that deer keds primarily attack cervids (e.g., Poh et al, 2020) and that other mammalian species are only occasional hosts (Groenman van Waateringe, 2011; Hermosilla et al, 2006). This result was also indicated by the lack of a significant difference in the ked abundance among the three studied deer species.…”

Some parasitic diseases of wild animals are transmissible to humans and cause health problems. A widespread ectoparasite of vertebrates is the deer ked, Lipoptena cervi ((L.); Diptera: Hippoboscidae). We studied the interaction of this parasite with habitat‐related, host‐related, and temporal factors in the Czech Republic. We analysed observations of its abundance in hunted wild animals in the context of their environment. Our results confirmed that cervids are a preferred host species. Most of the other relationships between ked abundance and the studied factors were probably due to the olfactory preferences of keds. Males and older individuals of the game host species were more attractive to the parasites for this reason. The higher abundance of keds at the beginning of the hunting season can be explained by their phenology. The deer ked can significantly affect the management of game species. We conclude that its preference for older male cervids is important for the future conditions of game animals. The population densities of deer keds in areas with high parasitization rates could thus be influenced by active game management.

Pollens are responsible for allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, and asthma. The incidence of these diseases, which have adversely impacted the social and professional lives of people who are allergic to pollen, has tripled in the past 25 years. Official institutes, health care institutions, public interest groups, and mainstream news media provide people who are allergic to pollen with advice aimed at reducing their symptoms. The aim of this work was to provide an inventory of the prevention guidelines in the world and to evaluate their scientific relevance. A PubMed search was carried out using specific keywords. The scientific relevance of the recommendations was evaluated based on the publications disproving or confirming their merit. The guidelines issued by 12 countries in Europe, North America, and Australia were inventoried. The recommendations for avoidance were most often based on scientific data regarding their impact on pollen exposures, but they have not been clinically validated. Several studies provided additional details, however, that allowed the guidelines to be further substantiated. These guidelines have been adopted in numerous industrialized countries in the world, and they generally appear to be of relevance.

The paper provides examples of integrated researches putting aerobiology at the centre of methodological approaches of applied palynology. Data from airborne pollen monitoring have demonstrated to be useful to obtain inferences about different environmental issues. For example, seasonality is fruitfully investigated with the help of pollen calendars. The close connection that may exist between aerobiology and forensic palynology is demonstrated by a study on airborne pollen with cytoplasm trapped by corpses; pollen calendars may be a reference tool for establishing the season of death in case of murders or other crimes. Palaeoclimate research can obtain fruitful information from studies on long- distance transport and the comparison of past spectra with the representativeness of pollen in modern spectra. Modern pollen monitoring suggests that the long- distance transport may be a routine (as Alnus viridis in the southern Po Valley) or an episodic event; the very local geomorphological and phytogeographical peculiarities of a given area must be known to interpret pollen spectra. The pollen produced by trees that have had a fundamental importance in our cultural development (Prunus, Olea and Castanea) is among the most interesting archaeobotanical topic to understand the relationship between humans and environmental resources. Sometimes, data cannot be compared because yearly sums and percentages of one taxon on the total pollen counts are not commonly reported in the aerobiological literature. Finally, the decline in Taxus pollen in a warming climate is reported among the case studies that illustrate the relevance of the aerobiological research to interpret past climate records and to study long- term climate changes
