Beyond Sexual Selection: Natural Selection Related Camouflage and Thermoregulation Shape Sexual Color Dimorphism in Diploderma Lizards

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Integrating comparative spectrometry, image analysis, and thermal modeling, we reveal that (1) females optimize crypsis via background matching, (2) males prioritize high‐contrast disruptive patterning at a significant thermoregulatory cost (reduced solar heat gain), and (3) habitat‐specific monomorphism in Diploderma slowinskii underscores ecological ...

Sensory Biology of the Franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei, Pontoporiidae, Cetartiodactyla): Ontogenetic Modifications of Vibrissae and Vibrissal Crypts

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The transition of cetaceans from a terrestrial to an aquatic environment involved a crucial sensory adaptation to environments with limited visibility. Vibrissae, important mechanoreceptors, undergo an ontogenetic transformation in odontocetes. This research describes the histomorphology of vibrissae and crypts at different developmental stages ...

Amphibian‐Derived Peptide OA‐AL14 Alleviates UVB‐Induced Skin Photoaging via Autophagy Activation Mediated by the AMPK/mTOR Pathway

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The schematic diagram illustrates that the amphibian‐derived peptide OA‐AL14 protects against UVB‐induced skin photoaging through a dual mechanism: activating the Nrf2 pathway to counteract oxidative stress and modulating the AMPK/mTOR axis to induce protective autophagy. ABSTRACT Skin photoaging, primarily driven by ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation, is a

Weighted prevalence of biochemically verified substance use in healthy adolescents across the USA

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Adolescent substance use is a significant public health concern, though the scope of the problem is difficult to ascertain given reliance on self‐reported substance use information. Recent, large cohort studies in adolescents and young adults suggest underreporting of substance use.

Low Sunscreen Awareness and Misconceptions in Skin of Colour With Acne‐Related Post‐Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation: A Cross‐Sectional Study Highlighting the Need for Targeted Education

Australasian Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Post‐inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a frequent sequela of acne in patients with skin of colour (SOC). While sunscreen is widely recommended for PIH prevention, little is known about real‐world sunscreen practices in this group. This study aimed to evaluate sunscreen use, barriers and factors influencing adherence

Iron Physiology and Its Impact on Atopic Diseases: An EAACI Taskforce Report

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Iron is essential for oxygen transport, energy metabolism, and immune regulation. Yet iron deficiency is the most common micronutrient disorder across all age groups, affecting nearly one quarter of the global population. Iron deficiency triggers nutritional immunity, a host defense mechanism that withholds and redistributes iron, contributing
