Laboratory Biology, Immature and Adult Morphology of Trichopria drosophilae (Perkins) (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae), Parasitoids of Drosophila Flies

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
This study investigates the laboratory biology and morphology of the parasitoid Trichopria drosophilae, which targets Drosophila flies, including the invasive Drosophila suzukii. Key findings include a detailed description of the parasitoid's egg, three larval instars, and pupal stage, as well as unique behaviors such as siblicide and encapsulation in ...

Photoelectrochemical properties of melanin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Melanin is to the animal kingdom like chlorophyll to the vegetal kingdom(1). Melanin collects energy from lower-energy radiation sources, kicks electrons into excited states, initiating a process that would end up producing chemical energy, similar to ...

A review on true dung beetles' evolutionary and ecological responses to temperature and impacts on ecosystem functions

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
True dung beetles are a speciose group of ecosystem engineers that play key roles as detritivores in natural and agricultural landscapes. Scarabaeine beetles show strong thermal plasticity and there is increasing evidence of rapid evolutionary divergence in response to temperature across ecological and evolutionary timescales, with likely consequences ...

Limbal cystotomy by fine needle aspiration of a translucent iris cyst in a horse

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary A 4‐year‐old Cremello crossbred mare was referred to the Equine Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Utrecht University for a translucent iris cyst from the dorsal pupillary margin corpora nigra in the right eye. Although noninvasive diode laser treatment is the preferred method of pigmented cyst ablation, two attempts did not result in disruption ...

The hidden science of haptics: A pedagogical review of tactile evaluation in cosmetics

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
This review explores the physiological basis of tactile perception and critically examines classical and emerging sensory methods used in cosmetics, advocating for broader methodological integration and recognition of sensory analysis in the field. Abstract Sensory analysis is a cornerstone of cosmetic development, yet remains underrepresented in peer ...

Differentiating solar lentigines from post‐inflammatory hyperpigmentation with hyperspectral imaging: A pilot study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
This preliminary study attempted to characterize solar lentigines and post‐inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) observed on Japanese women. Colorimetric features and chromophore concentrations were measured using hyperspectral imaging for each hyperpigmentation type.

Mechanisms underlying the protective effects of San‐Bai decoction against UV radiation on the skin

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Combining conventional differential expression analysis with differential network analysis offers a promising strategy to uncover the mechanistic basis of the holistic benefits provided by herbal blends. Our findings demonstrated that San‐Bai decoction modulates multiple pathways—not only those related to skin pigmentation, such as ET‐1 signalling, but

Acral Melanocytic Lesions Under Conventional, Sub‐Ultraviolet Reflectance, and Ultraviolet‐Induced Fluorescence Dermoscopy: A Comparative Analysis

open access: yesInternational Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
Conventional dermoscopy provided higher scores than ultraviolet‐induced fluorescence dermoscopy for parallel furrow pattern, parallel ridge pattern (PRP), fibrillar pattern, dots/clods, radial lines, blue–white structureless areas and blotch, and outperformed sub‐ultraviolet reflectance dermoscopy (sUVRD) for PRP and blue–white structureless areas ...

Welfare and Physiological Consequences of Non‐Lethal Blood Sampling From the Caudal Vasculature of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar L.)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate welfare and health effects following single and repeated non‐lethal blood sampling from the caudal vasculature of Atlantic salmon. Two experiments were conducted at three different temperatures: a 6‐week freshwater experiment with fish weighing 50–100 g, undergoing up to four blood withdrawals, and a
