Conidiation color mutants of Aspergillus fumigatus are highly pathogenic to the heterologous insect host Galleria mellonella. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 The greater wax moth Galleria mellonella has been widely used as a heterologous host for a number of fungal pathogens including Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans. A positive correlation in pathogenicity of these yeasts in this insect model and

Insect Science, EarlyView.This study investigates the taxonomic and functional diversity of noctuoid moths in a protected coastal dune system in Central Italy, revealing strong ecological associations between moth assemblages and dune zonation. Differences in species composition and trait attributes, along with the presence of habitat‐exclusive species, highlight the role of ...

Insect Science, EarlyView.The mutualism between Tapinoma ibericum ants and Aphis gossypii disrupts the biological control exerted by Aphidius colemani in greenhouse peppers. Ant exclusion increased parasitism and the presence of most natural enemies, although Aphidoletes aphidimyza was more abundant with ants.

Story2Board: A Training‐Free Approach for Expressive Visual Storytelling
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We present Story2Board, a training‐free framework for expressive storyboard generation from natural language. Existing methods narrowly focus on subject identity, overlooking key aspects of visual storytelling such as spatial composition, background evolution, and narrative pacing.

Satire and Silence Under Authoritarian Rule: Cotton and Pesticide Perceptions in Tajikistan
Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Over the past 70 years, agricultural chemicals have become a mainstay of cotton farming in Central Asia. This growing reliance on agrochemicals has not remained uncontested. This article analyses the politics of pesticides in Soviet and post‐Soviet Tajikistan by examining how, and to what extent, pesticides have featured in graphic satire, an ...

Optimization of moth-eye antireflection schemes for silicon solar cells [PDF]
, 2010 Nanostructured moth-eye antireflection schemes for silicon solar cells are simulated using rigorous coupled wave analysis and compared to traditional thin film coatings. The design of the moth-eye arrays is optimized for application to a laboratory cell (
