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 ...

Climate Change, Air Quality, and Pollen Allergies—State of the Art and Recommendations for Research and Public Health

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allergies are one of the major health challenges of our time, associated with a high individual burden of disease and high costs for the healthcare system. Given their prevalence, allergies are also highly relevant from a public health perspective. The development of allergic diseases is multifactorial. In addition to individual factors (e.g.,

Identification and Quantification of Volatile Organic Compounds and Bioaerosols in the Conservation Processes of Guanche Mummies

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Guanche mummies, ancient inhabitants of the Canary Islands, represent a significant part of the historical heritage preserved at the Museum of Nature and Archaeology (MUNA) in Tenerife, Spain. These mummies, subjected to artificial conservation practices, are of great interest to conservators seeking to understand their mummification ...

An Archaeometric Approach to Reveal Organic Compounds via GC‐MS Analyses of Two Discovered Incense Burners at Daba Al‐Bayah

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study focuses on two terracotta incense burners discovered in the Daba Al‐Bayah necropolis in the Musandam Peninsula (Oman), associated with an Iron Age collective tomb (LCG‐2). Through gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC‐MS), the organic residues preserved within these artifacts were analyzed to investigate their use and ...

Solid Shampoo Is Mostly Not Preserved, in Contrast to Liquid Shampoos Used in Hairdressing—A Market Survey in Four European Countries

Contact Dermatitis, EarlyView.
Most solid shampoos (68.6%) did not contain preservatives according to Annex V of the EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC 1223/2009), while all liquid shampoos did. The number of preservatives used was significantly greater in liquid shampoos. ABSTRACT Background Hairdressers are frequently exposed to shampoos, both from neat liquid products and dilutions ...

To Avoid or Not to Avoid: Cross‐Reactivity Between Fragrance and Common Botanicals

Contact Dermatitis, EarlyView.
Among 356 fragrance‐allergic patients patch tested from 2020–2024, no clinically meaningful cross‐reactivity (> 10%) was observed between fragrance allergens and common non‐essential oil botanicals. These findings suggest fragrance‐allergic patients do not need to avoid botanicals such as aloe, coconut oil, or shea butter in fragrance‐free products ...

Repeated Exposure to Hydroperoxides of Linalool Induces Immunologically Verified Allergic Contact Dermatitis

Contact Dermatitis, EarlyView.
Patch testing and repeated use (ROAT) with Lin‐OOH revealed dose‐dependent reactions in sensitised individuals. Lin‐OOH 1.0% was the most reliable patch test concentration to confirm CA in our cohort. Skin biopsy gene expression analysis shows upregulation of IL1β, IL4, GATA3 and CCL22, confirming activation of immune pathways consistent with fragrance

Two Metschnikowia nectar yeast species have similar volatile profiles but elicit differential foraging in bee pollinators

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Yeasts that specialize in flower nectar play an important role in pollination ecology. Metschnikowia reukaufii and Metschnikowia koreensis were the most prevalent nectar yeasts found in our field sites. Bee pollinators exhibited different behavioural responses to nectar yeasts in field experiments. Bees visited more flowers with M.

Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Firms time defined‐benefit (DB) plan freezes after CEO turnovers to protect CEO retirement benefits from cost cuts affecting the wider workforce. We document a significant increase in voluntary CEO turnovers just before the freeze, without notable post‐freeze changes.
