Vulgar Minimisers in English and Spanish1

open access: yesTransactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.
Abstract In this paper, we investigated whether vulgar minimisers form a natural class in English and Spanish by evaluating (i) their similarities and differences with respect to non‐vulgar minimisers and (ii) whether vulgar minimisers are inherently negative in these languages.

Knockdown resistance in pyrethroid-resistant horn fly (Diptera: Muscidae) populations in Brazil Resistência Knockdown em populações de mosca-dos-chifres do Brasil resistentes aos piretróides

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2009
To investigate the kdr (knockdown resistance) resistance-associated gene mutation and determine its frequency in pyrethroid-resistant horn fly (Haematobia irritans) populations, a total of 1,804 horn flies of 37 different populations from all Brazilian ...

‘Pro‐Germans in the Pulpits’: The Queensland Presbyterian Church and the Great War

open access: yesJournal of Religious History, EarlyView.
During World War I, Protestant churches in Australia, on the whole, enthusiastically supported the war effort. The Queensland Presbyterian Church was a significant exception. This study analyses discord and tensions among its clergymen about what constituted an appropriate response to the war.

Comportamento da Haematobia irritans em fazendas com diferentes manejos de bovinos Behaviour Haematobia irritans in herd cattle farms under different management

open access: yesCiência Rural, 1997
A dinâmica parasitária da Haematobia irritans foi estudada em três fazendas com diferentes tipos de manejo de bovinos mestiços na região de São Carlos, SP, as quais não utilizavam nenhum tratamento específico à mosca. O experimento consistuiu na contagem

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

open access: yesInsect 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 ...

The Horn Fly and its Association with Milk Yield, Milk Quality, and Staphylococcus Mastitis in Organic Dairy Herds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Summer mastitis continues to be a challenge on many dairy farms. Greater understanding of the factors affecting mastitis will aid in developing management programs. Mastitis and fly populations both increase during the summer months, but the relationship

Beyond Sexual Selection: Natural Selection Related Camouflage and Thermoregulation Shape Sexual Color Dimorphism in Diploderma Lizards

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Integrating comparative spectrometry, image analysis, and thermal modeling, we reveal that (1) females optimize crypsis via background matching, (2) males prioritize high‐contrast disruptive patterning at a significant thermoregulatory cost (reduced solar heat gain), and (3) habitat‐specific monomorphism in Diploderma slowinskii underscores ecological ...

Transcriptomics Unveil Dsx1 as a Critical Regulator in Sexual Dimorphism of Crustaceans

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Sexually dimorphic traits are involved in reproductive competition and are shaped by sex‐biased gene expression. This study identifies Dsx1 as a key male‐biased gene in Morinoia aosen and demonstrates through RNA interference that its disruption feminizes male‐specific T3 leg structures.

The Status of Horn Fly Resistance in South Dakota [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
Ear tags containing the organophosphate insecticide chlorpyrifos have been effective in the control of resistant horn flies in three western South Dakota localities during 1986. Resistance levels of 50-fold to pyrethroid insecticide were detected in horn
