Beyond Tradition: An Integrated Toxicological, Ecological, and Public Health Perspective on Aristolochic Acids

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aristolochia species have long been used in traditional medicine for their presumed anti‐inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial properties. However, extensive toxicological and epidemiological evidence now demonstrates that these plants contain aristolochic acids (AAs) I and II, highly potent nephrotoxic, genotoxic, and carcinogenic ...

Description of the pupa of "Diamesinae Genus P" Doughman, 1985 (Diptera: Chironomidae), with comments on habitat, distribution and further characterization of the larva

open access: yesCHIRONOMUS Journal of Chironomidae Research
The pupal stage of “Diamesinae Genus P” Doughman, 1985 is described from specimens collected in northwest Georgia, USA. The pupa is recognized as Diamesinae by dorso- central thoracic setation with no prealar setae and lack of hooklets on tergite II ...

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

Tiny habitats of tiny species: The importance of micro-refugia for threatened island-endemic arthropods

open access: yes
Island-endemic arthropods are understudied species and likely to be highly threatened with extinction. Analysis of IUCN Red List assessments can be used to highlight important microhabitats requiring conservation for the effective management of island ...

Is quinoa‐farming sustainable in marginal environments? Social, economical and environmental aspects

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an Andean grain crop introduced as a novel crop to many parts of the world in recent years. Recognized for nutritious seeds and high abiotic stress tolerance, it has been promoted as an element of climate‐resilient agriculture, particularly in marginal environments.

Crop dominance exerts specific effects on foliage-dwelling arthropods in Bacillus thuringiensis cotton

open access: yes, 2015
Shifts in crop composition in an agro-ecosystem may have profound effects on plant-associated arthropods. The widespread adoption of transgenic insect-resistant cotton expressing insecticidal toxins Cry1A from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) has caused a ...

CardiacDP: An R package for rapid automated cardiac data processing, integrating autocorrelation, a genetic algorithm, and a tracking index

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Heart rate is a popular proxy of physiological responses, but the highly complex and variable cardiac data obtained from organisms such as marine invertebrates pose a major challenge to efficient and accurate data processing. To address this, we developed a novel, integrative algorithm for rapid and automated cardiac data processing.

Impact of Bentonite Mining on Selecting Arthropods

open access: yes, 1987
Arthropods were sampled in pitfall traps for 2 yr on bentonite mine spoils and adjacent, unmined big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) grasslands in southeastern Montana to assess the impacts of bentonite mining on selected arthropods, evaluate the ...
