Fragment Edges Benefit a Common Predator of Pollinators via Bottom‐Up Effects

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study investigated the hypotheses regarding the effects of habitat fragmentation on spider biomass and causing bottom‐up or top‐down effects on multi‐trophic relationships. ABSTRACT Defaunation following habitat fragmentation typically threatens predators at higher trophic levels, which further alter prey and plants via top‐down effects.

After the Fire, Hope Springs Eternal: Movements and Body Condition of Hermann's Tortoises in a Devastated Landscape

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Rapid assessment of the delayed impacts of fires on endangered species is essential for accurately guiding conservation efforts. After the fire, surviving Hermann's tortoises (Testudo hermanni) showed only minor behavior alterations, and burnt habitats continued to provide them with essential resources.

Crossing Ceramic Decoration Boundaries: Compositional and Morphological Analyses of the Mortuary Assemblage From Maridíaz (Nariño, Colombia)

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the interaction of two ware traditions in the Maridíaz mortuary assemblage (Pasto, Nariño, Colombia), a rare, well‐documented cemetery context in which Piartal, Tuza, and hybrid vessels co‐occur. Using portable X‐ray fluorescence (n = 39) and 3D geometric morphometrics (n = 25), we find shared ceramic compositions ...

Cancer pain: current practice and emerging targets

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cancer pain (CP) arises from a complex interplay between the tumour and its microenvironment. Many patients experience a mixed pain phenotype that encompasses nociceptive, neuropathic and neuroinflammatory mechanisms, and vary across tumour type and disease stage. Despite decades of intensive research, the mainstay of cancer pain treatment is still non‐

Peripheral targets for neuropathic pain

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Neuropathic pain represents a significant clinical challenge, with still limited pharmacological approaches to symptomatic relief. This review focuses on molecular targets implicated in neuropathic pain, particularly those involved in peripheral mechanisms. Using the IUPHAR/BPS database of biological targets, their occurrence together with ‘neuropathic

Targeted Photo‐Induced Elimination of Tumor‐Associated Macrophages Suppresses Cancer Progression in a Murine Model

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the selective depletion of tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs) by targeting CSF1R through near‐infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR‐PIT). Using a combination of anti‐CSF1R Fab‐IR700 conjugates and localized light irradiation, we achieved tumor suppression and durable antitumor immunity without systemic toxicity.

Development of Loxosceles intermedia Mello-Leitão (1934) (Araneae, Sicariidae) genital tract

Brazilian Journal of Biology
We examined the post-embryonic development of the male and female genital apparatus of the brown spider, Loxosceles intermedia. The development of the genital apparatus for both sexes begins with the appearance of inner structures.

A Cumulative and Strengths‐Based Approach to the Characteristics of Families With Complex and Multiple Problems: A Case File Study

Child &Family Social Work, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research on families experiencing complex and multiple problems (FECMP) has been dominated by a problem‐centred perspective and a focus on individual (i.e., single) risk factors. This case file study extends previous work by mapping (1) the nature and prevalence of individual problems and protective factors, (2) their accumulation and (3 ...
