Extract
Since 1958, the Medical, Urban, and Veterinary Entomology (MUVE) Section (formerly Section D) of the Entomological Society of America (ESA) has devoted a significant portion of the ESA Annual Meeting to the Highlights presentations that summarize important events in our field. Starting with the 2018 meeting, Journal of Medical Entomology (JME) has published the content of these talks. Selection to present one of the Highlight talks is considered an honor and recognition of personal stature within MUVE. The Urban Entomology paper includes topics such as structural pests that are somewhat outside the realm of papers normally included within JME, but it is included here to capture what was presented at the meeting. Recently, because of the volume of material published annually, Highlight speakers have emphasized research or events that they felt impacted our field and have provided their interpretation of significance. Because these papers focus on selected of topics and a synthesis of thought by the authors, they are published as Forum rather than Review contributions.
