Effect of Temperature on Host Preference in Two Lineages of the Brown Dog Tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus.

American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2021
Rhipicephalus sanguineus is a species complex of ticks that vector disease worldwide. Feeding primarily on dogs, members of the complex also feed incidentally on humans, potentially transmitting disease agents such as Rickettsia rickettsii, R.

Computational fluid dynamics simulations of airflow through the nasal passages of rhinolophoid bats

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The nasal passages of bats that emit their echolocation call through their nostrils have adapted for sound emission as well as standard respiratory and olfactory functions. Rhinolophids, hipposiderids and rhinonycterids all use a high duty cycle (HDC) echolocation strategy.

Reception Baseline Assessment and ‘small acts’ of micro‐resistance

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract In September 2021, following the global COVID‐19 pandemic, the Department for Education introduced a national standardised digital Reception Baseline Assessment (RBA) for all English 4‐year‐old children. We analyse RBA and its associated Quality Monitoring Visits, as a further intensification of the new public management of early years ...

Biomorphic Study of Rhipicephalus Sanguineus (Acari: Ixodidae) Under Laboratory Conditions

Journal of Bioresource Management, 2023
Rhipicephalus sanguineus can complete up to four generations per year, depending on factors such as climate and host availability. Biomorphic studies of R. sanguineus were conducted under laboratory conditions.

The acaricidal and repellent activity of the essential and nano essential oil of Thymus vulgaris against the larval and engorged adult stages of the brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Acari: Ixodidae)

BMC Veterinary Research
The brown dog tick is globally distributed and harms the host in terms of blood feeding and pathogen transfer. Chemicals are traditionally used for the control, but herbal plants have been investigated mainly due to their natural components with killing ...

Green Ambiguity Shapes Sustainable Investing

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Green Exchange‐Traded Funds (ETFs) have experienced strong growth in recent years, reflecting increasing investor attention toward sustainability. However, these funds rely on a wide range of environmental metrics that are often weakly aligned, raising concerns about the meaning of greenness in sustainable investing.

CEO Managerial Ability and the Strategic Repetition of Climate Disclosures

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines whether CEO managerial ability shapes the repetition of firms' climate‐related disclosures in mandatory 10‐K filings. Climate reporting is highly judgment based and central to firms' broader climate‐risk management strategies, yet little is known about why some firms repeatedly use similar climate narratives and others ...

Shedding Light on Synthetic Autocatalysis: From Conventional Closed‐Shell Chemistries to Overlooked Open‐Shell Occurrences

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Why add another catalyst when the product itself holds the power to catalyze its own formation? Autocatalysis in synthetic chemistry enhances reaction efficiency and uncovers novel catalytic behavior across both closed‐shell and open‐shell systems, expanding reactivity and enabling innovative design strategies.

Mesityl‐Substituted Azuleno[1′,2′:4,5]pyrrolo[2,3‐b]quinoxalines: Synthesis, Functionalization, Photophysical, and Electrochemical Properties

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.
Azuleno[1′,2′:4,5]pyrrolo[2,3‐b]quinoxaline with a mesityl group as a solubilizing group was synthesized. By synthesizing derivatives in which various functional groups were introduced into two electronically distinct sites, the pyrrole nitrogen atom and the azulene five‐membered ring, we were able to reveal that the photophysical and electrochemical ...

Endosymbiont-derived metabolites are essential for tick host reproductive fitness

mSphere
Ticks, like other obligatory blood-feeding arthropods, rely on endosymbiotic bacteria to supplement their diet with B vitamins lacking in blood. It has been suggested that additional metabolites such as L-proline may be involved in this nutritional ...
