Amphibians in a changing world: assessing the effects of warming and drying on amphibian larvae and the relationships between larval survival, body size, and time to metamorphosis

, 2020
Amphibians are influenced by climate change, but we do not have a clear understanding of how changes in temperature, precipitation, or both, may influence amphibian larvae in temperate regions.

Proteomic analysis during larval development and metamorphosis of the spionid polychaete Pseudopolydora vexillosa

, 2009
Background: While the larval-juvenile transition (metamorphosis) in the spionid polychaete Pseudopolydora vexillosa involves gradual morphological changes and does not require substantial development of juvenile organs, the opposite occurs in the ...

Chromodomain Helicase DNA–Binding Proteins and Spermatogenesis: Current Advances

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Male infertility is a prevalent clinical condition, with approximately one‐third of cases classified as idiopathic, frequently stemming from impaired spermatogenesis because of dysregulated gene expression. Chromodomain helicase DNA‐binding (CHD) proteins are central chromatin remodelers that orchestrate this epigenetic regulation ...

Biological and Environmental Aspects of Imidazole Derivatives as Potential Insect Growth Regulators in Pest Management

Agriculture
This paper reviews the biological and environmental aspects of imidazole derivatives and their potential as insect growth regulators (IGRs). Imidazoles, known for their broad pharmacological and pesticidal properties, act on insect hormonal systems by ...

Macau as Method: Recombinant Urbanism in Post‐Socialist China

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In ‘Asia as Method’, Chen Kuan‐Hsing argues for the value of an indigenous inter‐Asian approach to analysing the effects of European imperialism on the countries and citizens of Asia. This article mobilises both Chen's inter‐Asian referencing strategy and the city‐state of Macau to explore Macau's role in China's engagements with global ...

Museum metamorphosis à la mode

, 2014
Museums are steadily changing. Yet analogising this development with biological or mythological metamorphosis could imply an elevation or naturalisation of events, which is potentially problematic.

Dependency on de novo protein synthesis and proteomic changes during metamorphosis of the marine bryozoan Bugula neritina

, 2010
Background: Metamorphosis in the bryozoan Bugula neritina (Linne) includes an initial phase of rapid morphological rearrangement followed by a gradual phase of morphogenesis. We hypothesized that the first phase may be independent of de novo synthesis of

A Newly Discovered Tablet‐Making Facility in Nineveh: Insights From Scientific Analysis

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper addresses the question of tablet technology in the Neo‐Assyrian capital city of Nineveh. Recent excavations in the lower town of Nineveh by the Iraqi–Italian Archaeological Expedition uncovered an exceptional assemblage of more than 200 tablets from an elite residence that appears to have included a scriptorium.

Modelling Patterns of Past Inundation Processes Combining Geoarchaeology and Morphometric Hydrological Analysis in the Shashe‐Limpopo Basin, South Africa

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riverine and valley systems across the globe have been central to the development of past urban centres. By AD 900, the Shashe and Limpopo Rivers seem to have facilitated the interaction and integration of early farming communities in southern Africa. This paper focuses on the application of geoarchaeological perspectives made available by the

Neural Networks and Multivariate Analysis Based on Geochemical Data to Determine Stone Provenance From Ancient Calabrian Quarries (Southern Italy)

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study shows an innovative approach to determine the origin of some Calabrian rocks quarried used in ancient times. Twenty‐five quarries, distributed in all the Calabrian provinces (Southern Italy), were studied and sampled. Ten samples were taken from each quarry, for a total of 250 samples.
