The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.DNA damage in the tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris elicits distinct cellular outcomes depending on replication status. While non‐replicating cells tolerate genotoxic stress, constitutively replicating cells undergo irreversible replication failure upon DNA damage, leading to loss of tissue homeostasis, fat depletion, sterility, and organismal death ...

Segregation during directional melting and its implications on seeded crystal growth: A theoretical analysis [PDF]
Directional melting of binary systems, as encountered during seeding in melt growth, is analyzed for concurrent compositional changes at the crystal-melt interface.

Ibis, EarlyView.Moult strategies in birds can vary considerably even within a single species, particularly in terms of where moulting takes place. Yet, the factors underlying this variation and its consistency across years and individuals remain poorly understood. One such strategy, moult migration, involves individuals moving to a specific moulting location amid ...

A protracted phenology: Post‐diapause larval development of a threatened butterfly
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Larval survival during diapause was high; hibernaculum webs were mostly located near Succisa pratensis plants, which often retained vital leaves through winter. Post‐diapause developmental time varied strongly depending on exposure to different microclimates, being reduced by litter cover, solar radiation and a higher heat load index.

Passive transponder implantation in Theraphosidae: A tool for traceability and conservation
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.PIT TAG microchip implantation was successfully performed in multiple tarantula species, showing high tolerance, rapid recovery from anaesthesia and no mortality associated with the procedure. Microchips remained stable and detectable after successive ecdysis events, with no negative effects on feeding behaviour, development, courtship, mating success ...

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biological control in high tunnel systems can be optimised by matching predator species to seasonal environmental conditions. We evaluated the predatory efficacy of syrphid flies (Toxomerus marginatus (Say), Eupeodes americanus (Fabricius)) and lacewings (Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens), Chrysoperla rufilabris (Burmeister)) across laboratory ...

Dynamic colour change predicts movement behaviour in a diadromous fish
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Dynamic changes in colour and pattern facilitate key behavioural functions in animals, particularly camouflage for predator avoidance. However, the benefits of colour change depend on the environmental and behavioural contexts. We tested how colour change interacts with movement behaviour in a freshwater fish by filming individuals in an open ...

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ectoparasites that penetrate host skin can act as biological or mechanical vectors for pathogens and, in some cases, serve as reservoirs. Crustacean ectoparasites of fish are potential vectors of pathogens, which is especially relevant for obligate pathogens (e.g., Aeromonas salmonicida) with limited seawater survival. Sea lice (Lepeophtheirus

A Cross‐Sectional Study on Parakeets Feeding and Housing Practices in Italy
Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Italy has one of the largest companion bird populations in Europe. This study aimed to investigate feeding and housing practices among Italian parakeet owners. An online questionnaire was distributed, yielding 433 voluntary responses. Participants were classified as hobbyists (HBY; ≤ 13 birds owned) or breeders (BRD; > 13 birds owned) to ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.The principal arboviral vector Aedes aegypti can develop in coastal brackish water field habitats (0.5–15 g/L salt) with larvae possessing thicker cuticles and greater resistance to the larvicide Temephos. Females emerging from brackish water‐developing preimaginal stages are now shown to have thicker and remodelled leg and abdominal cuticles and ...
