Wild Animal Suffering Is Not Intractable: A Precautionary Approach to Compassionate Intervention
Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wild animals suffer due to human activity, yet natural factors contribute far more significantly to their suffering. In light of this, some propose that we have a pro tanto obligation to intervene in ecosystems to improve wild animal welfare.

Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius

Verbesina alternifolia Tolerance to the Holoparasite Cuscuta gronovii and the Impact of Drought
Plants, 2013 Holoparasites are nonphotosynthetic plants that acquire all resources from hosts. The holoparasite Cuscuta gronovii is native to much of the US with a broad host range including Verbesina alternifolia, an understory perennial.

Aromatic plants, nest bacterial diversity, and nestling condition in Corsican blue tits
Oikos, EarlyView.According to the ‘nest protection hypothesis', some passerines incorporate fresh aromatic plants into their nests which reduce pathogens that can negatively affect nestlings. We experimentally evaluated the effect of five aromatic plant species on the nest bacterial microbiota of Corsican blue tits Cyanistes caeruleus.

Small, EarlyView.The work presents a Leidenfrost‐assisted synthesis as a low‐cost and scalable approach for designing In3+‐doped mixed phosphate ([PO4]3−‐[P2O7]4−) cathodes. The optimized cathode composition exhibits exceptional electrochemical performance, with a specific capacity of 129.3 mAh g−1 at 0.05 C, corresponding to an energy density of ∼$\sim $359 Wh kg−1 ...

Differential water mite parasitism, phenoloxidase activity, and resistance to mites are unrelated across pairs of related damselfly species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Related host species often demonstrate differences in prevalence and/or intensity of infection by particular parasite species, as well as different levels of resistance to those parasites.
