Phylogeny, biogeography and morphological evolution of the treehopper‐like leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) Megophthalminae and Ulopinae

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 296-308, April 2025.
Phylogenetic analyses of anchored hybrid data strongly supported the leafhopper subfamilies Megophthalminae and Ulopinae as monophyletic clades closely related to treehoppers, but some tribes within these two groups are nonmonophyletic. The origin of Megophthalminae and Ulopinae was estimated at ~140 million years ago, and the divergence within each ...

Abnormal material bearing on the development of the terminalia of male calypterate cyclorrhaphous Diptera

open access: yesParasitology, 1950
This paper describes the terminalia of two abnormal males of the genus Sarcophaga Meigen (Sarcophaga similis Meade and S. hirtipes Wiedemann var. orchidea Böttcher) which appear to throw light on the interrelationships of the inverted, curvilinear and circumverted types of terminalia in Diptera.

Life history and mating systems select for male biased parasitism mediated through natural selection and ecological feedbacks [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2010
Males are often the "sicker" sex with male biased parasitism found in a taxonomically diverse range of species. There is considerable interest in the processes that could underlie the evolution of sex-biased parasitism. Mating system differences along with differences in lifespan may play a key role.

Leopard (Panthera pardus) Density and the Impact of Spotted Hyaena (Crocuta crocuta) Occurrence on Leopard Presence in the Maasai Mara Ecosystem, Kenya

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 2, March 2025.
ABSTRACT The African large predator guild is one of the last intact large predator guilds globally, and interactions between its members influence ecosystem functioning. We conducted camera‐trapping in the Maasai Mara Ecosystem (MME) to estimate leopard (Panthera pardus) population density and investigate whether lion (Panthera leo) and hyaena (Crocuta

Exploring the neuroprotective benefits of phytochemicals extracted from indigenous edible fruits in Bangladesh

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 239-265, February 2025.
This review showed the therapeutic potential of Bangladeshi medicinal fruit plants in neurological diseases. We focused on traditional uses of medicinal fruit plants. We discussed the phytochemicals present in the fruit plants. The toxicological profile of these plants is also highlighted. Abstract The increasing incidence of neurodegenerative diseases

Is rewilding too wild? Assessing the benefits and challenges of forest succession on abandoned land in the mid‐hills of Nepal

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 415-433, February 2025.
Abstract The rewilding of landscapes through the promotion of natural ecological processes is a contemporary approach to nature restoration and conservation. In Nepal and elsewhere globally, forest is also regenerating naturally on abandoned agricultural land, effectively rewilding the landscape by default.

Partition test and sexual motivation in male mice [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2007
Theoretical analysis of own and literature investigations of sexual motivation with the use of the partition test [Kudryavtseva, 1987, 1994] in male mice was carried out. It has been shown that appearance of a receptive female in the neighboring compartment of common cage separated by perforated transparent partition produces the enhancement of ...

A morphological identification key to the mosquito disease vectors of the Pacific

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract An identification guide is provided for female adults of the mosquito groups, complexes or species that can be morphologically differentiated and that are likely to transmit arboviruses (e.g., dengue, Zika, chikungunya, Ross River and Japanese encephalitis) or parasites (e.g., Plasmodium spp.
