CARING FOR CATS IN CAIRO: Urban Grammars of Compassion
Abstract At first sight, Cairo is a cruel and harsh city, marked by extreme inequality and offering few resources for the poor. Like other metropolises, Cairo can easily numb its residents to the suffering of others. But it is also a city in which quiet, barely noticeable acts of compassion occur every day.

Rigidity of Killing-Yano and conformal Killing-Yano superalgebras [PDF]
Symmetry algebras of Killing vector fields and conformal Killing vectors fields can be extended to Killing-Yano and conformal Killing-Yano superalgebras in constant curvature manifolds. By defining $\mathbb{Z}$-gradations and filtrations of these superalgebras, we show that the second cohomology groups of them are trivial and they cannot be deformed to

Foraging by predatory ants: A review
This review focuses on ecological and behavioral characteristics of foraging in ants showing the wide diversity of cases. Most ants can feed on sugary substances, but some ground‐nesting species are strict predators. Except army ants during the nomadic phase, they are central‐place foragers that can recruit nestmates when necessary. They prey mostly on

A multilocus sequence typing approach is proposed to explore Halymorpha halys genetic diversity, taking into consideration both insect nuclear markers and markers from the gut symbiont “Candidatus Pantoa carbekii.” Increased information was revealed regarding the number of distinct holobiont haplotypes in native and invasive populations of the pest ...

ABSTRACT Escalating concern regarding the impacts of reduced genetic diversity on the conservation of endangered species has spurred efforts to obtain chromosome‐level genomes through consortia such as the Vertebrate Genomes Project. However, assembling reference genomes for many threatened species remains challenging due to difficulties obtaining ...
