Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

The WIRC+Pol Brown Dwarf Survey: A J-band Polarimetric Survey of 22 Brown Dwarfs
We present a near-infrared spectropolarimetric survey of brown dwarfs conducted with the WIRC+Pol instrument on the Palomar 200 inch Hale Telescope. The primary survey goal was to investigate the presence of polarization signatures arising from cloudy ...

Pseudonyms, Propaganda, and Prints: The Life and Political Caricatures of William Dent, 1782–931

Despite contributing to caricature's ‘golden age’, William Dent remains overlooked compared to contemporaries like James Gillray. Dent's extensive portfolio (1782–93) and rumoured role as a Pittite propagandist have not secured his place in the canon of ...

Surprisingly Weak Magnetism on Young Accreting Brown Dwarfs
We have measured the surface magnetic flux on four accreting young brown dwarfs and one nonaccreting young very low mass (VLM) star utilizing high-resolution spectra of absorption lines of the FeH molecule.
