Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...

Higher mobility of butterflies than moths connected to habitat suitability and body size in a release experiment

Ecology and Evolution, 2014
Mobility is a key factor determining lepidopteran species responses to environmental change. However, direct multispecies comparisons of mobility are rare and empirical comparisons between butterflies and moths have not been previously conducted.

The use of edible insects in human food

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract The world population is expected to reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050, which will significantly increase global food demand and may lead to agricultural shortages and a higher risk of food insecurity. In this context, this review discusses the potential of insects as alternative sources of animal protein, addressing their ...

A Refractory Leg Skin Ulcer Associated With Multiple Myeloma Successfully Treated With Plasma Exchange, Lenalidomide, and Dexamethasone

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant plasma cell disorder that primarily presents with CRAB symptoms (calcium elevation, renal failure, anemia, and bone abnormalities). In rare cases, MM manifests with systemic complications like skin ulcers, which present management challenges. Here, we report a 78‐year‐old Japanese man with MM and refractory

Circadian rhythms of sexual activities in moths: a review

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2014
The circadian rhythm of behavior has interested many researchers in the past decades, yet amazingly little is known on the evolution of natural variation in circadian rhythms of behavior.

Expanding the Differential Diagnosis of Ultrasonographic Flexor Digitorum Profundus–Flexor Carpi Ulnaris Dissociation of Echogenicity: Muscular Dystrophies

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Dissociation of echogenicity of the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) and flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) on neuromuscular ultrasound has been reported to be a useful sign to differentiate inclusion body myositis (IBM) from more common disease mimics, but it is not clear that this finding is pathognomonic of IBM. Our study aimed to

Seasonal flight activity and the length of the generation period of selected Noctuidae (Lepidoptera) –extent and causes of variation

Folia Oecologica
The variability in the timing of spells of flight activity was monitored in 25 monovoltine and 10 bivoltine species of Noctuidae (Lepidoptera) by evaluating their catches in a light trap operated nightly from April to November 1967–1995.

Body-size influence on defensive behavior of Amazonian moths: an ecophysiological approach

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Ectotherm locomotion is restricted by low temperatures, and many species, such as some flying insects, need to achieve thermal thresholds before taking off. Body size influences heat exchange between an animal and the environment.

Differences in reproductive performance traits of two Platanthera species

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The species Platanthera bifolia and P. chlorantha (Orchidaceae) are both declining in Europe, but P. bifolia has been diminishing relatively more. Loss of habitats and landscape heterogeneity due to agricultural intensification or abandonment of less fertile areas are primary drivers of decreasing orchid populations.

Asphalted parking lots are environmental filters for multiple propagule dispersal and pollination strategies

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Understanding community assembly for wild species in anthropogenic settings has become increasingly important as biodiversity and ecosystem services are threatened by development pressures. Urban hardscape habitats such as parking lots are widespread, extreme, terrestrial anthropogenic environments that influence plant community assembly by way of ...
