Regulation of the juvenile hormone titre in the Colorado potato beetle [PDF]
, 1978 Three main topics were investigated in regulation of the titre of juvenile hormone in haemolymph of the Colorado potato beetle ( Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say): enzymic breakdown of the hormone; binding and protection of the hormone by carrier proteins ...

Extreme offspring ornamentation in American coots is favored by selection within families, not benefits to conspecific brood parasites [PDF]
, 2019 Offspring ornamentation typically occurs in taxa with parental care, suggesting that selection arising from social interactions between parents and offspring may underlie signal evolution.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.dUTPases are involved in balancing the appropriate nucleotide pools. We showed that dUTPase is essential for normal development in zebrafish. The different zebrafish genomes contain several single‐nucleotide variations (SNPs) of the dut gene. One of the dUTPase variants displayed drastically lower protein stability and catalytic efficiency as compared ...

Rheumatologic Manifestations of Patients With Type B Insulin Resistance
Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective The objectives of this study were to identify laboratory and clinical features associated with type B insulin resistance (TBIR), a rare condition caused by autoantibodies that inhibit the insulin receptor, most frequently occurring in the setting of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and to increase awareness of this rare, life‐threatening ...

Root‐Stimulated Movements in Mimosa Pudica for Biohybrid Robotic Systems
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This study demonstrates that thermal and electrical stimulation of Mimosa pudica root induces movement of the petiole and pinnules without direct stimulation of the aerial organs, thereby enabling a plant‐based robotic gripper and providing a foundation for the development of intelligent and sustainable systems.

Reconstruction of insect hormone pathways in an aquatic firefly, Sclerotia aquatilis (Coleoptera: Lampyridae), using RNA-seq [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Insect hormones: ecdysteroids and juvenile hormones have crucial functions during the regulation of different developmental pathways in insects. Insect metamorphosis is one of the primary pathways regulated by these hormones.

Partial baldness in relation to reproduction in pond bats in the Netherlands [PDF]
, 2009 Meervleermuizen (Myotis dasycneme) vertonen vaak opvallende kale plekken op de rug. Aan de hand van data van meer dan 2200 gevangen meervleermuizen tussen 2003 en 2008 hebben we de mogelijke sociale, eologische en fysiologische oorzaken achter dit ...
