Domain Specific Placebo Response in the Modified Friedreich's Ataxia Rating Scale [PDF]
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 2, Page 393-398, February 2026.ABSTRACT The placebo response in clinical trials in ataxias complicates outcome interpretation and potentially obscures genuine treatment effects. We analyzed placebo group data from past trials in Friedreich Ataxia and observed notable responses in appendicular items, in contrast to minimal changes in axial function, as measured by respective ...

Extensive Field Observations Throw Light on the Evolution of Mimicry in Camponotus lateralis (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.Camponotus lateralis (C, D) mimics regional color morphs of Crematogaster (A, B). Field trips brought insights into ecology, trail sharing, sexual reproduction, colony foundation, nest defense, and predation pressure of this mimetic ant. We found that the mimicry is Batesian and suggest several preadaptations for its evolution.

The “Chameleon Ant” Colobopsis imitans Adapts Its Mimetic Appearance to Local Model Species Across the Mediterranean Basin (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.We collected morphometric data from Colobopsis samples across the Mediterranean Basin and the Caucasus, documented color patterns of these mimics and their local models, and performed unsupervised multivariate analyses. Morphometric data suggest a scenario where mimicry‐driven microevolutionary adaptations can produce significant phenotypic diversity ...

Evolutionary arms race in ant-ant mimicry: Camponotus lateralis lags behind in mimicking color patterns and sizes of regional Crematogaster models [PDF]
Scientific ReportsOver a century ago, biologists proposed the Mediterranean ant Camponotus lateralis mimicked the coloration of the common and unpalatable ant Crematogaster scutellaris. A more recent hypothesis suggested that Ca.
