We validated a new high‐throughput system based on nanocomputers connected to cameras automatically tracking movements of single mites. Our results confirm the existence of a volatile pheromone deposited by D. gallinae and attractive to conspecifics.

Endoparasite fauna of Brycon amazonicus and B. melanopterus(Characidae, Bryconinae) from Negro and Solimões rivers, Amazon, Brazil [PDF]
Congeneric host species present similar biological and behavioral aspects, what may favor the presence of a similar parasite fauna. The aim of the present study was to compare the composition and structure of the parasite community from congeneric ...

Rebuilding ships while at sea—Character individuality, homology, and evolutionary innovation
Building on a previous account of evolutionary innovation, I propose here that evolutionary novelties are those individualized characters that are not homologous to any characters in the ancestor. Integrating functional and structural perspectives, I argue that functional as well as structural considerations are important for character ...

Nematode Parasitism Genes [PDF]
The ability of nematodes to live on plant hosts involves multiple parasitism genes. The most pronounced morphological adaptations of nematodes for plant parasitism include a hollow, protrusible stylet (feeding spear) connected to three enlarged esophageal gland cells that express products that are secreted into plant tissues through the stylet. Reverse

The ratio of microbial population size relative to the amount of host tissue, or ‘microbial load’, is a fundamental metric of colonization and infection, but it cannot be directly deduced from microbial amplicon data such as 16S rRNA gene counts. Because

I-Nema: A Biological Image Dataset for Nematode Recognition [PDF]
Nematode worms are one of most abundant metazoan groups on the earth, occupying diverse ecological niches. Accurate recognition or identification of nematodes are of great importance for pest control, soil ecology, bio-geography, habitat conservation and against climate changes.

Abstract Intercropping banana and shorter annual crops in small holder systems is inevitable despite shade being a limitation. Current production is also limited to the wet seasons. Strategies to exploit the spaces under banana shade and drier seasons are crucial for optimal production of these systems. We determined the performance of two legume cover

Mitochondria across the entire neuromuscular system have been comprehensively reconstructed at different developmental stages using 3D electron microscopy. Fundamental structural principles related to synaptic function are preserved across development, and these morphologies are adapted to ensure effective neural circuit function.
