In a recently published paper on colour polymorphism in a Pygmy grasshopper from China (Zhao et al 2016) an unidentified Paratettix sp. was misidentified as Tetrix bolivari. This case highlights the need for correct species identification and provides an

We present a new catalytic process that converts real‐life PET waste into ethyl 4‐hydroxymethylbenzoate (EHMB), which serves as a valuable intermediate for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, an insecticide, and a novel polyester. Abstract We report here the upcycling of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) waste via semihydrogenation to make ethyl 4 ...

First occurrence of the Ponto-Caspian amphipod Echinogammarus trichiatus (Martynov, 1932) (Crustacea: Gammaridae) in Belgium [PDF]
The Ponto-Caspian amphipod species Echinogammarus trichiatus (Martynov, 1932) was found in Belgium for the first time in June 2009 at two different locations in an artificial lake bordered by two large canals.

A vertebra of a small species of Pachycetus from the North Sea and its inner structure and vascularity compared with other basilosaurid vertebrae from the same site [PDF]
In the Western Scheldt Estuary near the Belgian-Dutch border, middle to late Eocene strata crop out at the current seafloor. Most vertebrae of large Eocene basilosaurid taxa from this area were previously described in several papers. They represent three

NO3− anions can act as Lewis acid in the solid state
The nitrate anion, NO3−, is typically thought of as an electron-donating molecular moiety. Here the authors reveal, however, that when the negative charge on NO3−is smeared out over a large enough area, a positive potential emerges on N that can act as a

On some new or rare spider species from Lesbos, Greece (Araneae: Agelenidae, Amaurobiidae, Corinnidae, Gnaphosidae, Liocranidae) [PDF]
In this paper, three new spider species are described from the Greek Aegean island Lesbos: Tegenaria maelfaiti sp. nov. (Agelenidae), Amaurobius lesbius sp. nov. (Amaurobiidae) and Agroeca parva sp. nov.

Reconstructing historical catch trends of threatened sharks and rays based on fisher ecological knowledge. [PDF]
Abstract Small‐scale fisheries often lack historical shark and ray catch information, hampering their management. We reconstructed historical catch trends and current fishing pressure by combining local ecological knowledge, satellite‐based vessel counts, and a short‐term landing‐site survey.

The authors investigated the effects of various glycan ligands for CLEC10A, a lectin receptor expressed on dendritic cells (DCs). Monocyte‐derived DCs were stimulated with glycan‐conjugated dendrimers in combination with the TLR1/2 ligand Pam3CysK4, and responses were investigated at the mRNA and protein level.

Machine design and electron beam control of a single-pass linac for free electron laser : the FERMI@Elettra case study [PDF]
In classical electromagnetism, a charged particle radiates energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation when it is subject to a force. This effect is the principle behind many useful sources of radiation such as electron synchrotrons and linear ...
