Recent Developments in Sustainable Solubilization

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
We highlight several recent developments in sustainable solubilization. Particular attention is given to the use of bio‐based solvents derived from renewable resources, the strategic use of water as a solvent, and alternative, sustainable solubilizers such as hydrotropes.

Visual stimulation of saccades in magnetically tethered Drosophila [PDF]

, 2006
Flying fruit flies, Drosophila melanogaster, perform `body saccades', in which they change heading by about 90° in roughly 70 ms. In free flight, visual expansion can evoke saccades, and saccade-like turns are triggered by similar stimuli in tethered ...

Necrophagous Insects and Internal Temperature Synergistically Determine Duration of the Decomposition Process for Deer Carcasses When Vertebrate Scavengers are Excluded

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Predicted survival curves from the accelerated failure time (AFT) model showing the probability that deer carcass weight remains above 30% of its initial value over time. Curves represent predictions at −1 SD, mean, and + 1 SD of each covariate (initial body weight, average air temperature, and duration until the first peak in internal carcass ...

A species-group framework to unravel blowfly diversity: integrative revision of the Calliphora clarki-group (Diptera: Calliphoridae)

European Journal of Taxonomy
The Australian Calliphorinae represent a diverse division of the global blowfly fauna and a broad range of life histories. Past research focused on the carrion-breeding species and there remains a paucity of research on species with other life histories.

Aromatic plants, nest bacterial diversity, and nestling condition in Corsican blue tits

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
According to the ‘nest protection hypothesis', some passerines incorporate fresh aromatic plants into their nests which reduce pathogens that can negatively affect nestlings. We experimentally evaluated the effect of five aromatic plant species on the nest bacterial microbiota of Corsican blue tits Cyanistes caeruleus.

Temperature stress induces mites to help their carrion beetle hosts by eliminating rival blowflies

eLife, 2020
Ecological conditions are known to change the expression of mutualisms though the causal agents driving such changes remain poorly understood. Here we show that temperature stress modulates the harm threatened by a common enemy, and thereby induces a ...

Random Photon Absorption Model Elucidates How Early Gain Control in Fly Photoreceptors Arises from Quantal Sampling [PDF]

, 2016
Many diurnal photoreceptors encode vast real-world light changes effectively, but how this performance originates from photon sampling is unclear. A 4-module biophysically-realistic fly photoreceptor model, in which information capture is limited by the ...

Disentangling the contributions of density dependence and independence to population growth rates

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract Separately quantifying the effects of density‐dependent and density‐independent factors on vital rates is necessary to determine their contribution to changes in population growth rates and better inform management and conservation. State space modeling and recently developed transient life table response experiments (tLTRE) at the level of ...

Effects of Tagetes minuta essencial oil on Lucilia cuprina third instar larvae

Data in Brief, 2019
The activity of Tagetes minuta essential oil (TMEO) was tested against third instar larvae (L3) of the Australian blowfly Lucilia cuprina. We have determined the potential of the T. minuta EO as a new biopesticide candidate. To test this, groups of 20 L3

Effects of Diet on the Gut Bacterial Community of Aldrichina grahami (Diptera: Calliphoridae) across Developmental Stages

Insects
The blowfly, Aldrichina grahami (Diptera: Calliphoridae), is a well-known forensically important insect. Basic data related to A. grahami have been well documented; but despite the pivotal role of gut microbes in various facets of insect biology, little ...
