The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Volumetric Comparison of Overall Brain and Neuropil Size Between Social and Non‐social Spiders: Exploring the Social Brain Hypothesis

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Brain size may be influenced by the cognitive demands of sociality (social brain hypothesis). We used microCT to compare CNS and brain volumes in social versus solitary huntsman and crab spiders. Social huntsman spiders had larger arcuate and mushroom bodies, while social crab spiders had larger visual neuropils.

Faith, gender and financial investment: Providence and Presbyterianism in Scotland and abroad

Asia‐Pacific Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Mid‐nineteenth century fictional representations of misdirected investment by widows and clergy position them as ignorant in financial matters and hence pitiable. While scholars have recognised female agency in nineteenth century commerce, insufficient attention has been paid to religious belief in financial decision‐making.

A Straightforward Algorithm for Diagnosing Hymenoptera Venom Allergy and Identifying the Relevant Venom for Immunotherapy

Allergy, EarlyView.
Conventional tests, such as specific IgE (sIgE) or intradermal testing (IDT), are usually sufficient. Combining both tests increases sensitivity, while additional tests, like the basophil activation test (BAT), provide no further benefit for the majority of patients.

Sequence of Immunological Events During IgE‐Mediated Allergic Reactions to Food

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food allergies (FA) represent a significant global health burden. Upon allergen re‐exposure, allergic patients exhibit a sequence of symptoms that vary in terms of affected organ systems, severity, time of onset and allergen reactivity thresholds.

Biphasic Effects on Allergen‐Specific Type 2 Memory B Cells Over 18 Months Sublingual Immunotherapy for House Dust Mite Allergy

Allergy, EarlyView.
Rapid clinical relief of allergy symptoms during 18 months of sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) for house dust mite (HDM) is associated with increased serum IgE, IgG2, and IgG4 to Der p 1 and Der p 2. Der p 1 and Der p 2 specific Type 2 memory B cells are expanded at 4 months and 12 months of SLIT, with increased expression of CD29 and IgG4.

Living Together, Loving Apart: Health, Sexuality and Relationships in Middle‐Aged and Older Men in Europe

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Over time, family structures have grown more complex, diversifying adult relationships. While research has compared marital, cohabiting and living apart together relationships based on quality and health, less is known about their sexual dynamics.

Early Prediction of Outcome Using Lactate Dehydrogenase and Amplitude‐Integrated EEG in Transported Newborn Infants with Hypoxic–Ischaemic Encephalopathy

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To investigate whether early lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and amplitude‐integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) improve the prediction of outcome in outborn infants transported for therapeutic hypothermia. Method Secondary analysis of a randomised controlled trial (2016–2019) including 113 asphyxiated newborn infants randomised to ...

Prey preference of lingcod (Ophiodon elongatus), a top marine predator: implications for ecosystem-based fisheries management [PDF]

, 2012
Many highly exploited ecosystems are managed on the basis of single-species demographic information. This management approach can exacerbate tensions among stakeholders with competing interests who in turn rely on data with notoriously high variance. In
