Evaluating Bottom‐Up Effects of Cruciferous Cultivars to Optimise Mass‐Rearing and Fitness of the Parasitoid Diadegma insulare

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Plutellidae: Lepidoptera), is one of the major pests of cruciferous vegetables. To control this notorious pest, the caterpillar parasitoid Diadegma insulare (Cresson) (Ichneumonidae: Hymenoptera) is the most used biocontrol agent. Efficient mass‐rearing of D.

Understanding Exosomes in Hair Regeneration

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Alopecia is a prevalent condition correlated with significant psychosocial challenges, while contemporary treatments exhibit variable efficacy, require extended use, and may cause adverse effects. This review aimed to comprehensively assess exosome‐mediated interventions as a novel cell‐free regenerative approach for hair ...

“Mongolians can find their feet anywhere, except in Mongolia”: Mongolian aspirations and the moral value of migrant labour in Korea

The Australian Journal of Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article draws on the narratives of Mongolians who have worked in Korea to explore the experience of migrant labour and the role work abroad plays in Mongolian identities and life projects. Four different categories of worker are discussed: those working on 3 month visas; those working illegally having overstayed their visa; contract ...

Public Engagement in the Design of Urban Blue‐Green Infrastructure: Contrasting Approaches and Project Outcomes in Ōtautahi Christchurch

New Zealand Geographer, Volume 82, Issue 3, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Although blue‐green infrastructure (BGI) is increasingly used to mitigate the challenges that climate change poses for cities, public involvement in its design is uneven. Here we examine three BGI projects in Ōtautahi Christchurch, Aotearoa New Zealand, documenting how local communities and mana whenua were engaged in their design and the ...

Effects of Mannitol on Rumen and Fecal Microbiome, Immune Function, and Antioxidant Capacity of Sunit Sheep

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2026.
This graphical abstract illustrates the effects of uncoated and coated mannitol supplementation on ruminal and fecal microbiomes, serum immune indices, antioxidant status, and metabolism in Sunit sheep. Neither uncoated nor coated mannitol altered growth performance.

AFFECT, AUTOFICTION, PARODY: NEGOTIATING IMPLICATION IN CHRISTIAN KRACHT'S EUROTRASH AND MAXIM BILLER'S DER FALSCHE GRUẞ

German Life and Letters, Volume 79, Issue 4, Page 557-579, October 2026.
Abstract Christian Kracht's assertion that everything that takes itself too seriously is ripe for parody frames this analysis of Eurotrash (2021) and Maxim Biller's Der falsche Gruß (2021), novels in which the postmemory generation navigates inherited legacies of violence, injustice and abuse, as well as of wealth and privilege.

Beyond the Classics: The Synergy of AI and Genomics Reveals an Expanded Repertoire of Pigmentation Genes

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 346, Issue 6, Page 475-486, September 2026.
Classical approaches for coloration analysis are limited by human low‐resolution phenotyping and genetic analysis. Artificial intelligence allows us to find genes beyond the tip of the iceberg that explain color and pattern diversity in nature. ABSTRACT Pigmentation has long served as a powerful system for exploring gene–trait relationships, yet much ...

Dihydrotestosterone Promotes Hetian Sheep Dermal Papilla Cell Proliferation by Inhibiting the TGF‐β/Smad Signalling Pathway

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
This study successfully isolated Dermal Papilla Cells (DPCs) from Hetian sheep and established a stable in vitro culture system for these cells. It was found that androgens promote the proliferation of Hetian sheep DPCs by inhibiting the expression of genes in the TGF‐β/Smad signalling pathway, thereby influencing hair follicle development. Furthermore,
