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

open access: yesInsect 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.

Stress in dipteran insects mass‐reared for sterile insect technique applications

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
The connections between biotic and abiotic stress affecting mass‐reared dipteran insects and the associated stress and immunological responses. Numbers indicate the order in which the topics are discussed in this review. Abstract Stress may be viewed as the disturbance of homeostasis of an organism.

Naphthalene Metabolites From Long‐Term Environmental Tobacco Smoke Induce the Aging of Retinal Pigment Epithelium

open access: yesAging Cell, EarlyView.
Cigarette exposure can induce the senescence of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). The accumulation of naphthalene metabolites, namely 1,2‐dihydronaphthalene and 1,2‐naphthoquinone, in rats is a key factor in this process. In ARPE‐19 cells, the plasma of rats exposed to cigarette smoke can cause a significant increase in the level of reactive oxygen ...

Two‐year changes of macular choroidal thickness in response to 0.01% atropine eye drops: Results from the myopia outcome study of atropine in children (MOSAIC) clinical trial

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To investigate 2‐year changes in macular choroidal thickness (ChT) in children receiving 0.01% atropine eyedrops and its relationship with spherical equivalent refraction (SER) progression and axial length (AL) elongation. Methods A total of 250 myopic children aged 6–16 years (167%–0.01% atropine, 83‐placebo) were enrolled in the ...
