Dung beetles response to livestock management in three different regional contexts

Scientific Reports, 2020
The response of biological communities to human disturbances depends on factors acting at local and regional scale and on the interaction between them.

Integration of Nutrition and Organic Agriculture Framework in Managing Gastrointestinal Nematodes in Ruminants

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Gastrointestinal nematode infections damage the gastrointestinal epithelial tissues of ruminants, affecting nutrient utilization and overall production performance. This review outlines host‐gastrointestinal nematode interactions and discusses integrated control strategies, including nutritional supplementation, grazing management, vaccines, and ...

Dung beetles use their dung ball as a mobile thermal refuge [PDF]

Current Biology, 2012
At midday, surface temperatures in the desert often exceed 60°C. To be active at this time, animals need extraordinary behavioural or physiological adaptations. Desert ants, for instance, spend up to 75% of their foraging time cooling down on elevated thermal refuges such as grass stalks.

Combined Medial Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty and Revision Allograft Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Combined medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty and revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with an Achilles tendon allograft offers a promising solution for young, active patients with isolated medial compartment osteoarthritis and a failed prior anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Characterization of the Interaction of Known G‐quadruplex Ligands With a Minimal i‐Motif Structure

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The destabilization of a minimal i‐Motif (iM) structure by TMPyP4 is driven by ligand recognition of one terminal iM structural domain. ABSTRACT Peculiar genomic regions are prone to evolve transiently from double‐helix DNA to noncanonical secondary structures in response to physiological stress.

Double Sided Traction Force Microscopy: A Method to Confine Cells for Physiologically Relevant Force Measurements

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper we describe a technique to make a confined environment of variable stiffness that is suitable for high‐resolution live‐cell imaging. This versatile and adaptable technique enables cell confinement between soft elastic surfaces made from polyacrylamide gels.

An optimizing microseismic method for rock burst early warning based on mining production process

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A classification early warning method of rock burst based on hourly microseismic data is proposed, which can be combined with the on‐site production process to provide more timely warning. Abstract Microseismic (MS) events have been reported in nearly every coal mining country, which could well lead to rock burst in underground coal mines.

How does dung burial by coprophagous beetles modify the emergence of infectious strongyle nematode larvae? An experimental test across different soil depths

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
During their free-living stage, gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) eggs and larvae may encounter environmental and biomechanical perturbations, such as dung beetle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae, including Aphodiinae, Scarabaeinae and Geotrupidae) activity, that

Zebrafish inversin mutants develop scoliosis in the absence of laterality defects

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Human mutations in INVERSIN are associated with nephronophthisis, variable penetrance of situs inversus and congenital heart disease. Inversin has been shown to localize to cilia and many of the patient phenotypes are attributed to disrupted cilia function.

An Ocular Surface‐Targeting Nucleic Acid Hydrogel for Efficient Dry Eye Disease Treatment

Exploration, EarlyView.
A self‐assembled nucleic acid hydrogel modified with mucin‐1 (MUC1) aptamer is developed, which can actively target the mucin layer on the ocular surface and significantly extend its retention time after distillation. Inside the hydrogel, therapeutic siRNA is embedded and can effectively silence the inflammation gene expression, subsequently restoring ...
