Using artificial neural networks to explain the attraction of jewel beetles (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) to colored traps

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Jewel beetles can discriminate leaf feeding sites and bark oviposition sites based upon the opponent comparison of their blue, green, and red photoreceptor signals. Through this mechanism, green traps resemble leaves, and purple traps resemble bark, explaining their different attractiveness to males and females.

Climate cycling did not affect haplotype distribution in an abundant Southern African avian habitat generalist species, the familiar chat (Oenanthe familiaris)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The habitat generalist familiar chat was not affected by climate change in southern Africa due to long‐term stable habitats. The Malawi population is distinct from the southern African population, and the latter shows no evidence of the geographic partitioning that has been shown for species occupying more restricted habitat types.

Bluer in the city: urban male lizards exhibit more intense sexual coloration and lower parasite loads than non‐urban males

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The urban environment may exert different selective pressures on sexually selected traits than more pristine environments. Our study shows that sexual coloration is more saturated (bluer) in male lizards from urban environments than in male non‐urban lizards. The average parasite load is lower in urban lizards than in non‐urban lizards.

Activated mTOR Signaling in the RPE Drives EMT, Autophagy, and Metabolic Disruption, Resulting in AMD‐Like Pathology in Mice

Aging Cell, EarlyView.
Our study reveals that overactivation of both mTOR complexes through mLST8 in RPE cells triggers AMD‐like pathology and cellular dysfunction. This finding highlights the critical role of balanced mTOR signaling in retinal health and suggests that targeting both complexes could be therapeutic for AMD treatment.
