Parvalbumin Interneuron‐Dependent Hippocampal Neurogenesis Evoked by Prolonged Rhythmic Light Flicker

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that prolonged rhythmic 40 Hz light flicker enhances spatial learning by stimulating PV interneuron‐dependent neurogenesis. The light flicker selectively activates PV interneurons, which enhances GABAergic support for the integration of immature neurons in the adult dentate gyrus.

Kin-Mediated Male Choice and Alternative Reproductive Tactics in Spider Mites

open access: yesBiology, 2020
Optimal outbreeding and kin selection theories state that the degree of kinship is a fundamental determinant in any mating system. However, the role of kinship in male choice and alternative reproductive tactics (ARTs) is poorly known.

Development and Evaluation of a New Effective Tool and Method for Assessing Varroadestructor (Acari: Varroidae) Mite Populations in Honey Bee Colonies

open access: yesInsects, 2022
A new device for assessing Varroa destructor (Anderson–Truman) mite infestations in honey bee colonies was designed, tested, and evaluated against the sugar roll method, a widely used method by beekeepers. The Varroa Shaker Device (VSD) is constructed of

A Blending Approach for Dual Surface and Bulk Functionality in Organic Transistors

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Dual‐mode organic transistor, combining Electrolyte‐Gated Organic Field‐Effect Transistor (EGOFET) and Organic Electrochemical Transistor (OECT) functionalities, is achieved by blending p‐type semiconducting polymer and n‐type mixed conducting fullerene.

Specialist or generalist? Feeding ecology of the Malagasy poison frog Mantella aurantiaca [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We studied the diet of a population of free-ranging Mantella aurantiaca, an alkaloid-containing poison frog from Madagascar. As in other poison frogs, this species is thought to sequester alkaloids from arthropod prey.

Exploring the link between the risk of violent injury in adolescents and historic redlining practices

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Violent injuries tend to cluster together geospatially. The discriminatory housing practice of redlining undertaken by the United States federal government in the 1930s has been repeatedly linked with various contemporary community‐level disparities.
