Timing the Sacred: A Multi‐Step Chronological Framework for the Llullaillaco Inca Burial

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Absolute radiocarbon dating offers high precision, but its application to historical contexts, such as the Inca civilization, requires a rigorous methodological approach. This research examines methods to enhance chronological accuracy through a case study of artifacts from the Llullaillaco Capacocha sacrifice.

Children &Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Participation is a key issue for children moving to a shelter for victims of domestic violence. To get information, be consulted and be able to take part in decisions regarding the move could potentially make the often hasty and unplanned transition to and stay in an unfamiliar context easier for the child and support the child's sense of ...

Comparing Methods for Measuring Predation: Toward a Quantitative–Informative Indicator of Natural Pest Control

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Predation methods vary widely in their ability to quantify biological control. Estimating predation rates (the number of prey killed per predator per time unit) is crucial. Combining predation rates with predator abundance yields real‐time field estimates of pests consumed.

Plant Traits and Reproduction in a Multitrophic System: The Role of Aphids, Parasitoids and Hyperparasitoids

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
This field mesocosm study examined the top‐down effects of hyperparasitoids, parasitoids and aphids on plant growth and fitness. Parasitoids reduced aphid populations, but this effect was attenuated by hyperparasitoids. However, these multitrophic interactions did not affect plant traits and reproduction, likely due to the plant's fast life cycle and ...

Do aphid endosymbiotic bacteria influence parasitoid searching behaviour through changes in aphid honeydew production?

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Hamiltonella defensa infection increases honeydew production in certain aphid genotypes, potentially modifying aphid feeding behaviour. Parasitoid wasps, Aphidius ervi, are more attracted to honeydew from H. defensa‐infected aphids; though larger honeydew amounts may slightly deter searching.

Detection of Toxoplasma gondii DNA by polymerase chain reaction in experimentally desiccated tissues

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2004
Despite toxoplasmosis being a common infection among human and other warm-blooded animals worldwide, there are no findings about Toxoplasma gondii evolutionary forms in ancient populations.
