Serious Game Design for Children: A Set of Guidelines and their Validation

Educational Technology & Society, 2019
Digital games can be used as allies to support and motivate the learning process. Many researchers focus their studies on the so-called Serious Games (SG), which are games whose primary objective is not solely entertainment.

Immature stages of the remarkable and rare West Palaearctic rove beetle Emus hirtus (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Staphylinini) in the phylogenetic context of the subtribe Staphylinina

European Journal of Entomology, 2023
Based on reared material, all the immature stages of Emus hirtus (Linnaeus, 1758) are described. This is an especially interesting species of rove beetle because it looks very striking, hunts dung-inhabiting insects, has a patchy distribution and is a ...

Hyperactive ice‐binding proteins stabilize cell membranes and improve resistance to dehydration stress in Caenorhabditis elegans

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
TisIBP8, a fungal‐derived hyperactive ice‐binding protein, helps Caenorhabditis elegans survive dehydration. It localizes near cell membranes, reduces cell damage, and helps maintain membrane structure during drying. These results suggest that ice‐binding proteins can protect cells from dehydration stress as well as freezing stress.

Fungi Recorded on Folivorous Lepidoptera: High Diversity Despite Moderate Prevalence

Journal of Fungi, 2021
The knowledge about the diversity and ecological role of entomopathogenic fungi is primarily based on agroecosystems whereas information derived from natural insect populations is much more limited.

ATZ‐1 promotes DNA replication efficiency to maintain normal meiotic function

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Absence of ATZ‐1 interferes with meiotic DNA replication and cell cycle function via CHK‐1. This causes downstream defects associated with DNA damage and genomic integrity. Taken together, this study suggests that ATZ‐1 influences DNA replication efficiency and cell cycle function to maintain normal meiotic function.

Myrcene‐Based Tailored Co‐Polymers as Active Pharmaceutical Excipients: Bio‐Based Solutions for Mucoadhesive Excipients

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Mucoadhesive amphiphilic block and statistical copolymers were synthesized via Reversible Addition–Fragmentation Chain Transfer polymerization from bio‐sourced myrcene and polyethylene glycol methacrylate. The resulting polymers exhibit narrow molar‐mass distributions, high regioselectivity, well‐defined microstructures, and tend to self‐assemble into ...

Having cake and eating too: The benefits of an intermediate larval form in a brittle star Amphiodia sp. opaque (Ophiuroidea)

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Most marine invertebrate larvae either obligately feed or depend on maternally provided reserves during planktonic development. A small number of species have the capacity to do both, in a mode of development known as facultative planktotrophy.

Primer reporte de inmaduros de Cryptocephalus Geoffroy, 1762 (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) de Brasil con notas de su bioecología sobre Wedelia goyazensis Gardner (Asteraceae) y síntesis de los registros de presencia del género en territorio brasileño

Graellsia, 2022
Cryptocephalus Geoffroy, 1762 es reconocido por su distribución cosmopolita y gran riqueza, con al menos 1700 especies descritas. Sin embargo, falta información para Brasil: (1) no hay registro de inmaduros; y (2) no se conoce casi nada sobre la ...

Microgavage of Zebrafish Larvae [PDF]

Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2013
The zebrafish has emerged as a powerful model organism for studying intestinal development1-5, physiology6-11, disease12-16, and host-microbe interactions17-25. Experimental approaches for studying intestinal biology often require the in vivo introduction of selected materials into the lumen of the intestine.
