Larval character evolution in Holometabola (Insecta)
Abstract Larvae, a novel type of immature stage, are a crucial innovation of the Holometabola. Larval features therefore provide key evidence for reconstructing evolutionary transformations in this megadiverse group. Here we present the first formal reconstruction of larval character evolution, using maximum parsimony and Bayesian ancestral‐state ...

Delipidisation of wool fibres and the subsequent beneficial properties of delipidised wool fibres
Abstract Wool fibres are complex matrices of proteins and fatty acids/lipids found both internally and externally. 18‐methyleicosanoic acid (18‐MEA) is covalently bound to the surface of the fibre via a thio‐ester link, and is considered one of the most important lipids as it is responsible for the hydrophobic properties of wool fibres.

Forest management and climate‐induced tree dieback alter the structural characteristics of forests, which could subsequently lead to changes in the structure of beetle assemblages. Beetle assemblages in more open forests exhibited less even abundance distributions, with fewer, more dominant species (higher rates of decline (r), higher dominance (d ...

Clinical and surgical findings in a mare with unilateral ovarian fibroleiomyoma and adhesions
Summary This case report describes the clinical presentation, ultrasonographic findings, surgical management and outcome of a 7‐year‐old Warmblood mare presented for recurrent colic, weight loss and poor performance. Rectal palpation identified a firm mass in the left caudal abdomen, which appeared on ultrasonography as a large, fluid‐filled, cyst‐like
