Noah's Raven, Noah's Son: The Metamorphoses of Blackness in Early Modern Readings of Genesis 8‐9
Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Over the past half‐century, scholars have offered various theories to explain when and how an aetiology for black skin became part of the reception history of the so‐called Curse of Ham in Genesis 9—a text that does not include any reference to skin colour.

Why honey is effective as a medicine. 1. Its use in modern medicine
, 1999 Honey has been used as a medicine for thousands of years and its curative properties are well documented. However, modern medicine turned its back on honey and it is only now, with the advent of multi-resistant bacteria, that the antibiotic properties of

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

Using honey to heal diabetic foot ulcers
, 2008 Diabetic ulcers seem to be arrested in the inflammatory/proliferative stage of the healing process, allowing infection and inflammation to preclude healing.

Odorant binding proteins of the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta: an example of the problems facing the analysis of widely divergent proteins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 We describe the odorant binding proteins (OBPs) of the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta, obtained from analyses of an EST library and separate 454 sequencing runs of two normalized cDNA libraries.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Our work shows that honey bee vitellogenin (Vg) segregates into two main haplotype versions (haplogroups) defined by 65 common polymorphisms. One haplogroup is abundant in A. m. mellifera conservatory samples, and at the protein level, we identify protein‐coding differences concentrated in the lipid‐binding cavity. This provides a foundation for future

Spider Mites: Genetic Models to Inform Herbivore and Chelicerate Biology
BioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 5, May 2026.Chelicerates include spiders, scorpions and ticks, and also spider mites that damage crops. Many of the features that make spider mites crop pests have facilitated their adoption as genetically tractable chelicerates. The expanding genetic toolkit developed using spider mites has potential to inform genetic studies in other chelicerates as well ...
