Abstract
We investigated the occurrence of spatial structuring in Triatoma infestans (Klug) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) populations 12 yr after the last community-wide insecticide spraying campaign in rural Pampa del Indio, in the Gran Chaco of northeastern Argentina. In total, male and female right wings collected at 16 georeferenced sites with at least 10 individuals of the same sex were analyzed using geometric morphometry. Mean female body length and wing centroid size (CS) were significantly larger than for males. Log-transformed CS and length were significantly and positively correlated both for males and females. Males collected in domiciles had significantly smaller CS than those collected in peridomestic structures both closed (kitchens or storerooms) or open (chicken coops), in agreement with our previous results elsewhere in the dry Argentine Chaco. Female wing CS was not significantly different between ecotopes. Wing shape analyses showed the occurrence of significant geographic structuring in males and females combined and in males only. Male wings showed a strong association between Mahalanobis distance and geographic distance. In general, Mahala

Digital By Default: Pathways to Digital Construction
On Wednesday 28th June, the Digital By Default group met to explore Pathways into Digital Construction. The group were delighted to be joined by James Franklin and Sam Almond from Kier and Andy Adams from T3 Training and Development Ltd.
The session focused on apprenticeships and explored how this route can support newcomers to the industry and thereby tackle the current UK skills shortage within construction.

UK Skills Shortage
Due to the current skills shortage within construction, it&#;s imperative that we support newcomers into the industry and begin to fill gaps in skilled labour.
Part of the problem is that there is little understanding, within schools, about construction and the possible career opportunities available. We need to dispel the vision of construction as merely a trade industry and support educators in their understanding of the wider opportunities so that they can, in turn, better support students with their career options.
