Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius

Enhanced infection and transmission of the 2022–2024 Oropouche virus strain in the North American biting midge Culicoides sonorensis

open access: yesScientific Reports
Oropouche virus (OROV) is a vector-borne zoonotic virus that causes febrile illness in humans. Biting midges of the Culicoides genus are the primary vectors during human outbreaks. The 2022–2024 OROV outbreak has seen an increase in incidence, geographic

High-Severity Wildfires Alter Ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Foraging Assemblage Structure in Montane Coniferous Forests and Grasslands in the Jemez Mountains, New Mexico, USA

open access: yesConservation
High-severity wildfires create heterogeneous patterns of vegetation across burned landscapes. While these spatial patterns are well-documented, less is known about the short- and long-term effects of large-scale high-severity wildfires on insect ...

Toward Dual‐Function Nanoparticle Platforms for Arboviral Diagnostics and Vaccines: Advances, Challenges, and Future Prospects

open access: yesNano Select, EarlyView.
This review explores nanoparticle (NP)‐based biosensors and nanovaccine platforms for arboviral infections, highlighting their design, performance, and translational potential. By comparing case studies across viruses, it identifies gold‐standard nanomaterials such as gold NPs (AuNPs), zinc oxide NPs (ZnONPs), molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanocomposites,

Die Baumkronenspinnen (Araneae) des Leipziger Auwaldes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The canopy spiders of the floodplain forest in Leipzig have become a focus of ecological studies in recent years. In 2006 we sampled 30 tree canopies in the ‘Burgaue’ nature reserve with pyrethrum knock-down fogging, recording 502 adult spiders belonging

Effects of environmental and individual variation on time patterns of extinction in small experimental populations

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Predicting the fate of small populations is essential in ecology, epidemiology and conservation biology. Small populations can go extinct quickly or can develop into large established populations. These can still go extinct through demographic stochasticity, especially when declines in mean population size or large size fluctuations drive them into an ...
