Mate-guarding success depends on male investment in a butterfly. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2023
This is the first quantitative study to investigate potential factors on which male butterfly investment in mate‐guarding devices may depend, and how the variation in these devices impacts their persistence on females. The study's aim was to reveal the alternative mate‐guarding devices' (i.e.

MIJ821 (onfasprodil) in healthy volunteers: First-in-human, randomized, placebo-controlled study (single ascending dose and repeated intravenous dose). [PDF]

Clin Transl Sci, 2023
Abstract This single‐center study administered MIJ821 (onfasprodil) as an intravenous infusion to healthy volunteers and included two parts: a single ascending dose study (Part 1) and a repeated intravenous dose study (Part 2). Primary objective was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single ascending intravenous doses infused over a 40‐min ...

Before Mnemosyne: Wilhelmine Cultural History Exhibitions and the Genesis of Warburg's Picture Atlas. [PDF]

Ber Wiss
Abstract Aby Warburg's Bilderatlas Mnemosyne, left unfinished in 1929, has attracted significant interest in recent decades. This essay offers a new interpretation of Warburg's “picture atlas,” not in relation to modernist collage and photomontage, but as an heir to scientific pedagogical exhibitions of the late Wilhelmine period.

Protected area coverage of the full annual cycle of migratory butterflies. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Effective conservation of migratory species relies on habitat protection throughout their annual cycle. Although protected areas (PAs) play a central role in conservation, their effectiveness at conserving habitats across the annual cycle of migratory species has rarely been assessed.

A checklist of European butterfly larval foodplants. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The study consulted 1119 references to produce 19,488 records of larval foodplants for European butterflies. This resulted in 5589 larval host plant records for 464 European butterfly species, with multiple references, enabling information to be checked.

Phenology and foraging bias contribute to sex-specific foraging patterns in the rare declining butterfly Argynnis idalia idalia. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2023
Sex‐specific foraging behavior is an understudied driver of intraspecific variation in plant–pollinator relationships. We examined 21 years of flower visitation in the rare, declining butterfly Argynnis idalia idalia in order to determine the role that both phenology and visitation bias play in driving differences between male and female floral ...

On the Heterochrony and Evolution of Oral Structures in Phyllopharyngean Ciliates (Protista: Ciliophora) [PDF]

J Exp Zool B Mol Dev Evol
Ontogenetic sequences in phyllopharyngean ciliates. ABSTRACT Heterochronic shifts in developmental sequences of unicellular organisms are rarely considered as mechanisms behind their morphological evolution. Among eukaryotic microbes, ciliates represent a key model group, exhibiting diverse morphologies and developmental trajectories.

Is there a massive glacial–Holocene flora continuity in Central Europe?

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 6, Page 2307-2319, December 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT The prevailing paradigm about the Quaternary ecological and evolutionary history of Central European ecosystems is that they were repeatedly impoverished by regional extinctions of most species during the glacial periods, followed by massive recolonizations from southern and eastern refugia during interglacial periods.

Aby Warburg’s Legacy, The Atlas and The Visual Essay: Montage, Editing, Emotion and Gesture

BRAC, 2017
Taking as a reference Warburg’s iconology of the interval, this paper attempts to explore the logic of montage, editing and juxtaposition as one of the pillars of contemporary audiovisual creation and research.
