Diversity of Resilin Incidence in the Insect Leg
Resilin incidences in the insect cuticle are commonly detected by fluorescence microscopy using the property of Resilin protein matrices to emit blue light after excitation with UV light. This indirect method produces significant background signal.

Abstract Biological invasions are a major driver of biodiversity loss, yet inconspicuous or “cryptic” species often escape detection and public awareness, limiting management responses. We investigated the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii, likely native to China and now present on six continents, through a 22‐month multilingual online survey

Cellular and molecular representations: Following the lesson of David Goodsell
Abstract David Goodsell's images have helped, over the last 30 years, thousands of students all over the world to imagine the cellular world by representing molecules, proteins, complexes, viruses, bacteria, and cellular processes. His contributions to the development of Molecular Graphics (MG) have been invaluable, and his retirement is the last (for ...

ABSTRACT Bacteria of the order Rickettsiales comprise a diverse group of obligate intracellular microorganisms that are globally distributed and highly prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. In South America, these bacteria have been associated with arthropod vectors, such as ticks, fleas, mites, lice, and certain dipterans, as well as with a ...

ABSTRACT The overuse of synthetic pesticides in agriculture has raised significant environmental and health concerns. Biopesticides have emerged as viable, environmentally compatible alternatives. However, recent comprehensive reviews integrating all biopesticide categories and emphasizing their contribution to synthetic‐pesticide‐free and health‐safe ...

Non‐Invaginated Wing Primordia in Holometabolous Insects: First Report From Mecoptera
We investigated wing primordium development in the scorpionfly Mavropanorpa japonica and present the first detailed histological description of a late‐forming, non‐invaginated wing primordium lacking a morphologically distinct peripodial epithelium in Mecoptera.

Understanding how ectotherms respond to environmental change requires accounting for multiple interacting climatic factors; yet relative humidity is rarely integrated with temperature in trait‐based performance frameworks. Using laboratory experiments and an analytic population growth model, we show that humidity systematically modifies juvenile life ...

Predictions From Evolutionary Theory for Urban Environments
ABSTRACT Urbanization drives rapid and extreme environmental change, profoundly shaping the ecology and evolution of populations. In this Perspective, we call for the integration and development of evolutionary theory and empirical research through collaboration between theoretical and experimental biologists to provide new insights into urban ...

ABSTRACT Natural populations are increasingly exposed to multiple stressors, such as chemical pollution and climate‐change‐driven heatwaves. While it has become clear that we need to account for stressor interactions, it is less well understood how sequential exposure to different stressors influences organismal responses as well as their potential for

ABSTRACT Aim Quaternary climatic oscillations have profoundly shaped the genetic structure and geographic distributions of alpine biotas. Understanding how cold‐adapted taxa responded to past climatic shifts is essential for unravelling the processes shaping mountain biodiversity, yet cold‐adapted taxa may have followed divergent refugial histories. We
