Genome‐wide and gene‐specific DNA methylation across developmental stages in Pogonomyrmex californicus: A socially polymorphic ant

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 232-245, June 2026.
Comparison between developmental stages (larvae, pupae, worker) in Pogonomyrmex californicus revealed significant stage‐specific differences in Gene Body Methylated frequencies. Methylation sites were highly correlated between WGBS and ONT in P. californicus Genome‐wide methylation was low (~3%) and highly clustered within gene bodies (GBM), especially

Genome and transcriptome‐based identification and expression profiling of chemosensory gene families across developmental stages and tissues in Sirex noctilio (Hymenoptera: Siricidae)

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 270-283, June 2026.
The first draft genome of Sirex noctilio was produced. Fifteen S. noctilio transcriptomes were sequenced to study chemosensory gene expression patterns. SnocOR16 and SnocSNMP1 displayed tissue‐ and sex‐specific expression patterns. Abstract The Sirex woodwasp (Sirex noctilio; Hymenoptera: Siricidae) is among the most destructive invasive pests ...

Sapo: Reachability Computation and Parameter Synthesis of Polynomial Dynamical Systems [PDF]

, 2016
Sapo is a C++ tool for the formal analysis of polynomial dynamical systems. Its main features are: 1) Reachability computation, i.e., the calculation of the set of states reachable from a set of initial conditions, and 2) Parameter synthesis, i.e., the ...

Ecological change may be a common initiator of evolutionary pollinator shifts

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3572-3583, June 2026.
Summary Although evolutionary pollinator shifts are accepted as major sources of floral and species diversity in angiosperms, the mechanisms triggering pollinator shifts remain largely unexplored. In 1970, Stebbins proposed that ecological change may be a common initiator of evolutionary pollinator shifts, but empirical tests of Stebbins' hypothesis ...

Bioinspired Hierarchical Architecture with Water Transport Channels for Strong Adhesion at the Sweating Interface

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 28, 18 May 2026.
To address adhesion failure in sweaty epidermal electronics, this study proposes a cross‐species, multi‐scale biomimetic interface. By modeling staged wet adhesion, it integrates self‐regulating liquid bridges with directional drainage. This design ensures stable, high‐performance flexible sensing in complex physiological environments, offering a ...

Heterogeneous Wettability‐Based Construction of Two‐Phase Interfaces for Underwater Reversible Adhesion

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 27, 13 May 2026.
The design employs heterogeneous wettability surfaces that construct stable oil‐water interfaces to achieve robust and rapid reversible adhesion. Linear enhancement of adhesion strength is realized through multi‐interface patterning. This adhesive enables rapid on‐demand detachment within five seconds via voltage‐induced electrolysis, offering a level ...

Changes in enzymatic activity and oxidative stress in honeybees kept in the apiary and laboratory conditions during the course of nosemosis.

PLoS ONE
The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in the level of oxidative stress and lysozyme-like and phenoloxidase (PO) activity under the influence of nosemosis. Honeybees were kept in natural (apiary) and artificial (laboratory) conditions.

A Fast Method for Selecting Bio Sourced Materials of Interest in a Candle Formulation

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, Volume 103, Issue 5, Page 423-433, May 2026.
ABSTRACT As consumer demand shifts towards more sustainable and nontoxic alternatives, the candle industry is exploring unconventional bio‐based and recycled materials as substitutes for paraffin. Four raw materials, that is rice bran wax (RBW), sugarcane wax (SCW), hydrogenated rapeseed oil (HRO), and waste cooking oil (WCO) were assessed based on ...
