Discrimination of Spartocera dentiventris (Berg, 1884) (Hemiptera: Coreidae) eggs by Gryon gallardoi (Brèthes, 1913) (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae)

Brazilian Journal of Biology
This paper aimed to evaluate the stimuli that orient Gryon gallardoi females to the eggs of Spartocera dentiventris and allow their discrimination. Using a four-arm olfactometer connected to four odor sources - S.

Could prenatal sound discrimination predict vocal complexity later in life?

BMC Zoology, 2018
Background Greater complexity of the learned vocal repertoire has been shown to increase mating and territory defence success in songbirds. Vocal learning in some songbird species begins in the egg and these songbird embryos can discriminate the sounds ...

Exploring the Potential of Zero‐Dimensional Carbon Nanomaterials in Photoluminescent, Electrochemiluminescent and Electrochemical Sensors

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Zero‐dimensional carbon nanomaterials are presented as multifunctional platforms linking structure, property, and sensing performance. Surface engineering and heteroatom doping modulate electron‐transfer and luminescent behavior, enabling electrochemical, photoluminescent, and electrochemiluminescent detection. Fundamental design principles, analytical

Miniaturized 3D Magnetic Force Sensor via Laser‐Assisted Folding and Magnetization for Enhanced Robotic Dexterity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
To achieve 3D force sensing in confined spaces such as fingertips, we developed a laser‐assisted folding and magnetization method to fabricate miniature films with precise centripetal magnetization. The resulting compact sensor delivers high force resolution, rapid response, and long‐term stability, significantly enhancing the manipulation capabilities

Are cuckoos maximizing egg mimicry by selecting host individuals with better matching egg phenotypes?

PLoS ONE, 2012
BackgroundAvian brood parasites and their hosts are involved in complex offence-defense coevolutionary arms races. The most common pair of reciprocal adaptations in these systems is egg discrimination by hosts and egg mimicry by parasites.

Contrasting effects of egg size and appearance on egg recognition and rejection response by Oriental reed warblers

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Background Among potential hosts, the rejection of foreign eggs, which is a common and effective strategy to counter brood parasitism, depends on egg recognition.

Milk and Egg Are Risk Factors for Adverse Effects of Capecitabine-Based Chemotherapy in Chinese Colorectal Cancer Patients

Integrative Cancer Therapies, 2022
Background: Chemotherapy-induced adverse effects (CIAEs) remain a challenging problem due to their high incidences and negative impacts on treatment in Chinese colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. We aimed to identify risk factors and predictive markers for

Host response to conspecific brood parasitism in colonial red‐breasted mergansers Mergus serrator: positioning of parasitic eggs within the clutch

Journal of Avian Biology
Brood parasitism can be costly to host fitness, which in turn may favour host strategies that decrease these costs. Duck (Anatinae) nests are often parasitized by eggs of other ducks, and one way that hosts can respond to potentially costly brood ...
