Integrative revision of the Australian carrion‐breeding Calliphorinae (Diptera: Calliphoridae): Revision of the Calliphora stygia‐ and ochracea‐groups

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The Australian carrion‐breeding Calliphorinae are revised using an integrative approach combining morphology and mitogenomics. A new taxonomic key, morphological images and verified mitogenomic data, including COX1 barcodes, are provided to support the identification of species.

The influence of pupal colour on diapause and post‐diapause success in the swallowtail butterfly Papilio machaon

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
The swallowtail butterfly Papilio machaon has a brown‐ and green‐coloured morph, with the brown being more common in the diapausing generation. The darker colouration of brown pupae did not confer advantages for thermoregulation when developing, but they did have lower diapause metabolic rates.

Drought resistance is influenced by soil water uptake depth in dryland shrubs

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Higher drought resistance was associated with shifts from shallow to deep soil water uptake under drier conditions, with both covarying with functional traits in drylands. Abstract Climate change exacerbates aridity in dry shrublands leading to different responses of coexisting shrubs to drought, including different resistance (capacity to sustain ...

In the Midst of a Cytokine Storm—The Hemophagocytic Syndrome (Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis/Macrophage Activation Syndrome)

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS)/hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life‐threatening hyperinflammatory syndrome characterized by immune dysregulation, cytokine overproduction, hemophagocytosis, cytopenias, and multiorgan dysfunction.

Mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter haploinsufficiency leads to sexually dimorphic redox imbalance and metabolic remodelling in the mouse brain

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The genetic inactivation of one Mcu allele leads to sex‐specific changes in neuronal function in adult mice, that is, the firing of action potentials and the relationship between cytosolic and mitochondrial Ca2+ levels. The ability to produce NAD(P)H by stimulated neural tissue is largely preserved in male mice but delayed in ...

TRPM8 and TRPM2 ion channels determine sex differences in thermal preference in mice

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Too hot or too cold? How do we know? Animals seek a ‘comfort temperature’ in between ‘too hot’ (far left) and ‘too cold’ (far right). In mammals and birds, females (left) prefer warmer temperatures than males (right). We show here that in mice, the comfort temperature is determined by a balance of sensory input (black arrows ...

Amyloid β alters vascular CaV1.2 channel spatiotemporal properties

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Amyloid‐β1‐42 (Aβ1‐42) triggers a male‐specific signalling cascade influencing CaV1.2 spatiotemporal properties in cerebral vascular smooth muscle. The signalling pathway involves NADPH oxidase (NOX)‐derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) activation of protein kinase C (PKC). Aβ1‐42 can also activate protein kinase A (PKA).

Cannabinoid exposure during pregnancy: Cardiorespiratory effects and offspring outcomes

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Prenatal exposure to cannabinoids has been investigated across human and animal studies to understand its impact on physiological development. Evidence suggests that early‐life cannabinoid exposure influence multiple developmental processes, extending beyond neurodevelopmental outcomes to potentially affect placental function ...

Abcc1 deficiency protects from corticosterone but not cortisol‐induced adiposity and insulin resistance in a sex‐specific manner

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A mouse model of exogenous glucocorticoid (GC) treatment was used to determine (1) if corticosterone induced the same metabolic dysregulation as cortisol, and (2) whether these differences were mediated by the corticosterone‐specific transmembrane exporter Abcc1.
