Splenic melanosis during normal murine C57BL/6 hair cycle and after chemotherapy [PDF]

, 2013
Cancer chemotherapy is associated with serious side effects, including temporary hair loss and impairment of pigmentation. We suspect that ectopic melanin deposition occurring due to chemotherapy may add to these effects worsening the already unpleasant ...

Necromass chemistry drives the functional diversity of the necrobiome, resulting in microbe–organic matter feedbacks

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1339-1351, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In temperate European forests, soil fungal communities, dominated by saprotrophic and ectomycorrhizal (ECM) species, represent almost 25% of soil organic carbon (C) in the soil.

Resource Availability Overrides Predator Presence in Mosquito Oviposition Habitat Selection

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 5, Page 424-435, May 2026.
Gravid Culex quinquefasciatus balance predation risk against resource availability when selecting oviposition sites. In outdoor mesocosms, we factorially manipulated sugarcane jaggery (resource) and notonectid predators (adult vs. nymph; caged vs. free‐swimming) across 2 years.

Innate humoral immune defences in mammals and insects: The same, with differences ?

Virulence, 2018
The insect immune response demonstrates many similarities to the innate immune response of mammals and a wide range of insects is now employed to assess the virulence of pathogens and produce results comparable to those obtained using mammals.

Metarhizium brunneum infection dynamics differ at the cuticle interface of susceptible and tolerant morphs of Galleria mellonella

Virulence, 2019
In order for entomopathogenic fungi to colonize an insect host, they must first attach to, and penetrate, the cuticle layers of the integument. Herein, we explored the interactions between the fungal pathogen Metarhizium brunneum ARSEF 4556 and two ...

The Ecology of Phenotypic Plasticity in the Cabbage White Butterfly, Pieris rapae [PDF]

, 2015
Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of an organism to alter its expressed phenotype in response to the environment in which it develops. There are many different environmental factors that can influence the phenotype of organisms such as photoperiod ...
