Ant presence was associated with lower gall density on Macaranga beccariana, whereas trees lacking ant defense had more galls and showed different parasitism patterns. Results from this natural experiment suggest that plant‐ants may indirectly influence gall midges through their effects on multitrophic interactions.

Survival Analysis of Fatigue Lifetime in Aged Elastomers Using Weibull and Cox Regression Models
ABSTRACT Fatigue tests conducted on elastomers inherently exhibit significant variability. Aging may induce stiffening and embrittlement, leading to premature failures outside the specimen gauge length and resulting in right‐censored data. Combined with the limited number of specimens, this leads to large uncertainties in fatigue lifetime estimation ...

Diagnosis of Mycobacteriosis in Cultured Hybrid Tilapia (Oreochromis spp.) in Trinidad and Tobago
ABSTRACT Mycobacteriosis is a significant disease in fish husbandry, with negative impacts on production facilities. Moreover, some Mycobacterium spp. that infect fish have zoonotic potential. Morbidity and mortality events at hybrid tilapia (Oreochromis spp.) farms in Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) associated with mycobacterial infections prompted a ...

From Competition to Compartmentalization: Rethinking Türkiye‐Gulf Relations
Abstract For nearly a decade following the Arab uprisings, relations between Ankara and key Gulf capitals were marked by intense rivalry and proxy contestation across several regional arenas, notably in Egypt and Syria. Why did relations shift toward pragmatic cooperation after such prolonged polarization?

The Türkiye‐Qatar Partnership: From Ottoman Roots to Strategic Alliance
Abstract As Qatar, a small country in a strategic location, faced a pressure campaign from Gulf states in 2017, Türkiye expanded its military presence and provided support that proved crucial to Doha's ability to overcome the crisis. This demonstrated Türkiye's new grand strategy, its capacity to project influence into the Gulf, and its status as a ...

The role of clathrin in post‐Golgi secretion in plant cells
Morphology of Arabidopsis thaliana XVE»amiCHC seedlings. Summary Within the plant endomembrane system, the vesicle coat protein clathrin localizes to the plasma membrane (PM) and the trans‐Golgi Network/early endosome (TGN/EE). While the role of clathrin in endocytosis at the PM is well established, its function at TGN/EE, presumably in late secretion (

High‐ and Low‐Concentration Spiral Chlorophyll Bands Excited by Vortex Rossby Waves
Abstract High‐concentration spiral chlorophyll bands (HSCBs) embedded in oceanic mesoscale eddies have recently been observed worldwide. They are considered to be the footprints of vortex Rossby waves (VRWs). Based on satellite observations and drifter data, we identified additional low‐concentration spiral chlorophyll bands (LSCBs).
