Aggregation of Modified Glucuronoxylan in Water and DMSO
Biopolymers, Volume 117, Issue 3, May 2026.Neutron scattering study of dispersibility of glucuronoxylan and modified glucuronoxylan, in water and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). ABSTRACT Glucuronoxylans are known to be only partly soluble in aqueous media. Chemical modification often aims to improve solubility, yet observations of aggregation even of the modified xylans are not uncommon.

Evolution of Peripheral Visual System in the Apoidea: A Role for Food Item Mobility?
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Since larger compound eyes and ocelli altogether improve vision, one may expect that insects specialised in chasing very mobile resources possess such morphological optimisation. By analysing 77 species of bees and wasps, we have found that wasps had larger eyes, but not larger ocelli, than bees.

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009 Background Neuropeptide ligands have to fit exactly into their respective receptors and thus the evolution of the coding regions of their genes is constrained and may be strongly conserved.
