How dispersal and habitat quality shape aquatic–terrestrial metacommunities

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Current changes in land use, predominantly from agriculture and urbanization, affect both habitat quality and species dispersal ability. Understanding how these factors influence species distributions in aquatic–terrestrial metacommunities is critical for predicting community dynamics.

Efficient Separation and Purification of Oligosaccharides: A Systematic Review on Principles and Applications of Membrane Separation Technology

Food Bioengineering, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 290-313, June 2026.
Membrane separation provides a green and scalable route for oligosaccharide purification. This review summarizes the complementary roles of microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis, with emphasis on membrane selection, optimization of operating conditions, fouling control, and integrated cascade design for improving purity,

Exploring Floristic Diversity and Medicinal Plant Uses in Venda, Limpopo, South Africa

Feddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Plants have been an important source of medicine for thousands of years. To better understand the current diversity and usage of medicinal plants, floristic studies are essential. This report documents an expedition conducted in the Venda region of Limpopo, South Africa. The study was carried out in Shanzha and surrounding villages, as well as

Sex Determination in Sponges

Molecular Reproduction and Development, Volume 93, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Sex determination in Porifera remains one of the least understood aspects of early metazoan biology despite the group's key phylogenetic position. Sponges display exceptional diversity in sexual systems—ranging from stable gonochorism to sequential hermaphroditism and sex reversal—yet lack morphological dimorphism and any discrete gonadal ...

Pyrethroid Resistance in Frankliniella intonsa From Inner Mongolia: Evidence for kdr Mutation and Metabolic Involvement

Entomological Research, Volume 56, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT To evaluate population‐specific susceptibility to pyrethroid insecticides, four field populations of Frankliniella intonsa collected from alfalfa fields in Inner Mongolia were assessed using ingestion and contact bioassays. Four pyrethroids—bifenthrin, cyfluthrin, cypermethrin, and deltamethrin—were tested.

Can a lizard ride on a housefly?: Navigating uncertainty and moral life in an Accra Zongo, Ghana

Ethos, Volume 54, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract How can uncertainty become a resource for ethical life rather than a threat to it? Focusing on a Zongo community in Accra, Ghana—also known as a “traveler's camp” or “stranger's quarters”—this article examines how people use a creative form of communication called the practice of folding to sustain relationships shaped by conditions of ...

Developmental and hyperthermia-induced expression of the heat shock proteins HSP60 and HSP70 in tissues of the housefly Musca domestica: an in vitro study

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2007
The expression pattern of two major chaperones, the heat shock proteins (HSPs) HSP60 and HSP70 was studied in vitro in tissues of the housefly Musca domestica during larval and adult stages of development to identify their immunological relatives and ...

Laboratory evaluation of Moringa oleifera and Jatropha curcas extracts on adult housefly (Musca domestica L.)

Journal of Zoonotic Diseases
Synthetic insecticides are frequently used to manage disease vectors like houseflies, however, these chemicals are hazardous to human and animal health and not affordable to most people in rural areas. As a result, the demand for a substitute is pressing.
