Paired CycleGAN‐based virtual staining for 3D X‐ray histology of bone‐implant systems
Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.This work demonstrates virtual staining for 3D X‐ray histology using a modified CycleGAN trained on paired synchrotron radiation microtomography (SR‐µCT) and histology images of bone‐implant specimens. The method enables the generation of artificially coloured contrast resembling conventional histological staining from label‐free SR‐µCT data and is ...

Recovery of male DNA acquired from carrion‐feeding insects in a simulated sexual assault scenario
Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract When bodies of sexual assault victims are discovered in advanced stages of decomposition, the recovery of direct DNA evidence is often compromised, posing a challenge in criminal investigations. This study aimed to determine insect colonization and succession patterns on pig carcasses inoculated with semen and to assess the feasibility of ...

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, EarlyView.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Calcitonin‐like diuretic hormone influences reproduction in adult female Rhodnius prolixus
Insect Science, EarlyView.Highlights • CT/DH‐like immunoreactivity is present in female reproductive tissues • CT/DH receptor transcripts are expressed in the fat body and ovaries • RNAi knockdown of CT/DH receptors reduces egg number and hatching rate • Rhopr‐CT/DH increases RhoprVg1 and RhoprVgR expression in ovaries in vitro • Rhopr‐CT/DH stimulates oviduct contractions in a
