Bat Tongues and Foraging: Linking Morphology to Hunting Strategies

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We linked the bat tongue's mediodorsal lobe (MDL), a muscular prominence, to foraging strategies. Aerial hawkers exhibit tall MDLs and prominent forward‐pointing papillae. The MDL may function as a barrier or filter, preventing unintentional ingestion of non‐food material, aiding in prey handling, and controlling food access during fast flight ...

Microclimf: Fast modelling of microclimate across real landscapes in R

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Many ecological studies require climate data, but readily available datasets are poor surrogates for the conditions that organisms experience in nature. Understanding the climatic conditions experienced by organisms requires modelling microclimate rather than relying on coarse, station‐based climate data.

Modular and scalable system for 3D behavioural assays of olfactory and gustatory preferences in flying insects

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant–pollinator interactions are fundamental to the functioning of natural ecosystems and the enhancement of agricultural productivity. An effective support of pollinator communities necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms underlying pollinator attraction and nutritional preferences.

Anholocyclic overwintering of Myzus persicae: Host plant selection as a driver for aphid performance and survival

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
The green peach aphid, Myzus persicae, is the main virus vector in sugar beet. We examine its performance on potential winter hosts as well as the host selection and overwintering success of anholicyclic aphids in order to improve forecasting models for virus outbreaks through targeted monitoring of suitable winter hosts. Abstract Virus yellows (VY) is

TRP canonical 4 and/or 5 channel inhibition reduces aversion‐ and increases reward‐responding in chronically stressed mice

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Pharmacological inhibition of TRPC4 and/or TRPC5 channels reduces Pavlovian aversion memory in stressed mice and reduces amygdala reactivity to aversion in humans with depression. The aims of this mouse study were to improve understanding of these anxiolytic processes, determine whether there are corrective effects on ...

Comprehensive transduceromic profiling of NOP receptor ligands at different Gα subunits

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose The nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) peptide receptor (NOP) is an opioid receptor family member with distinct pharmacology and broad therapeutic potential. NOP receptors regulate functions such as nociception, stress reactivity, reward, mood, autonomic tone, immunity and sleep/wake cycle.

Drones: Emergence of a transformative technology for island rodent eradications

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Drones have emerged as a potentially powerful tool to address an ongoing need for alternative rodent eradication solutions on remote islands. This potential has now been demonstrated in a diverse set of operations across the Pacific. In the coming decades, this novel toolset also offers the possibility to step beyond existing paradigms and imagine a ...
