Scientists' warning on the need for greater inclusion of dragonflies in global conservation

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 4, Page 465-484, July 2025.
Stressors to dragonflies are multiple, and in many cases interactive. Specialist species are at risk, while generalists can benefit from some human activities. Dragonflies are sentinels for conservation, being promising surrogates for other taxa while also being appealing to citizen science initiatives.

Coloration in Argia damselflies of Central Mexico responds to changes in herbaceous vegetation La coloración de caballitos del diablo del género Argia responde a cambios en la cobertura de vegetación herbácea en el Centro de México

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 4, Page 593-603, July 2025.
The increase in urban lands and the vegetation loss implies changes in the colour of the background which in turn could cause changes in the coloration of individuals. We measured changes in body lightness of damselflies through 19 sites in Central Mexico, with a different degree of urbanisation and a different percentage of native vegetation. We found

An insect †Archaeopteryx: Cretaceous amber fossil elucidates the evolution of complex host detection and ovipositor mechanisms in parasitoid woodwasps (Hymenoptera: Orussoidea)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 630-645, July 2025.
We describe †Cretovelona orussopteryx n. gen. & sp. from Kachin amber. The fossil is examined with synchrotron scanning and integrated into an existing morphological data set for Orussoidea. This fossil parasitoid wasp displays a unique character combination demonstrating intermediate conditions in evolving the complex features employed in echo ...

Polyalanine Expansion in PABPN1 Alters the Structure and Dynamics of Its Nuclear Aggregates in Differentiated Muscle Cells

The FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 12, 30 June 2025.
The accumulation of aggregation‐prone proteins is a hallmark of aging cells. Pathogenic forms of these aggregates are associated with neurodegenerative, neuromuscular, and muscular diseases, yet the differences between pathogenic and non‐pathogenic aggregates remain unclear.

Breast Cancer Detection Using a New Parallel Hybrid Logistic Regression Model Trained by Particle Swarm Optimization and Clonal Selection Algorithms

Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, Volume 37, Issue 12-14, 25 June 2025.
ABSTRACT Breast cancer is one of the most widespread kinds of cancer, especially in women, and it has a high mortality rate. With the help of technology, it is possible to develop a computer‐aided method for the diagnosis of breast cancer, which is crucial for effective treatment.
