Microbial Odorant Detection Guides Drosophila Parasitoids Seeking Hosts in Fermenting Fruits

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Yeast microbes in fermenting fruits attract both host flies and their parasitoid wasps. Female Leptopilina boulardi detect yeast‐emitted ethyl esters via two olfactory receptors, LbouOR167 and LbouOR136. A conserved residue, Leu159, is critical for binding these compounds, enabling female wasps to locate host‐rich habitats.

Targeting Golgi–STING Signaling to Reprogram Innate and Adaptive Immunity for the Treatment of Implant‐Associated Infections

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents an ultrasound‐responsive nanoplatform, CS‐BT@MZ@NEs, with a BaTiO3/Mn‐Zif‐8 core and a chondroitin sulfate coating for Golgi targeting. By leveraging neutrophil hitchhiking, it enables targeted delivery to infection sites. Under ultrasound stimulation, CS‐BT@MZ@NEs generates ROS and modulates Golgi pH to activate cGAS–STING ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Effect of spatial factors to crop-raiding by Japanese macaque

ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS RESEARCH, 2004
猿害は, 種々の防御策がとられてきたにも拘らず顕著に減っていない. 猿害急増の背景には, 自然林の大規模伐採等人為的な環境変動がサルの環境適応能力を発現させたためと考えられる, 本研究では, 鹿児島県屋久島を対象に, 被害低減に効果的な自然林および農地の配置決定を目的とし, ロジスティック回帰分析により, 被害レベルに対する空間要素の近接性の影響を調べた. その結果, 農地が森林, あるいは川幅の広い河川と離れていること, 幅員の広い道路と近いことが, 被害レベルを緩和することが示唆された.
