Insect‐specific viruses used in biocontrol of mosquito‐borne diseases

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Insect‐specific RNA viruses (ISRVs) are involved in a wide range of families including Flaviviridae, Bunyaviridae, Negeviruses, Togaviridae, Reoviridae, Mesoniviridae, and Rhabdoviridae, which cannot infect vertebrates, including humans. However, ISRVs can infect and replicate in mosquitoes, interfering with the replication of mosquito‐borne viruses ...

Support Vector Machine (SVM) Recognition Approach adapted to Individual and Touching Moths Counting in Trap Images [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
This paper aims at developing an automatic algorithm for moth recognition from trap images in real-world conditions. This method uses our previous work for detection [1] and introduces an adapted classification step. More precisely, SVM classifier is trained with a multi-scale descriptor, Histogram Of Curviness Saliency (HCS). This descriptor is robust

Engineering of Transmembrane Alkane Monooxygenases to Improve a Key Reaction Step in the Synthesis of Polymer Precursor Tulipalin A

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, Accepted Article.
The α‐methylene‐γ‐butyrolactone tulipalin A, a defense compound found in tulips, can polymerize via addition at the vinyl group or via ring‐opening polymerization, making it a highly promising monomer for bio‐based polymers. Since the biosynthesis of tulipalin A in plants remains elusive, we propose an alternative pathway for its synthesis starting ...

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

Comparative and functional anatomy of masticatory muscles and bite force in opossums (Didelphimorphia, Didelphidae)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
We describe the functional anatomy of masticatory muscles in nine opossums, finding a generalized anatomical pattern with differences related to skull morphology. Variation in quantitative myological data and estimated bite force was mostly related to size, and the increase in bite force supports dietary diversification associated with size increase ...
