Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This review explores how alternative invertebrate and small‐vertebrate models advance the evaluation of nanomaterials across medicine and environmental science. By bridging cellular and organismal levels, these models enable integrated assessment of toxicity, biodistribution, and therapeutic performance.

Scratching the tip of the iceberg: integrative taxonomy reveals 30 new species records of Microgastrinae (Braconidae) parasitoid wasps for Germany, including new Holarctic distributions [PDF]
ZooKeysSubstantial parts of the European and German insect fauna still remain largely unexplored, the so-called “dark taxa”. In particular, midges (Diptera) and parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera) are abundant and species-rich throughout Europe, yet are often ...

Arhinops, a new name for the genus Arhina Murray, 1876, non Arhina Agassiz, 1846 (Insecta: Diptera), and notes on the tribe Arhinopini nom. n. (Insecta: Coleoptera: Nitidulidae: Cryptarchinae) [PDF]
Кавказский энтомологический бюллетень, 2018 The genus-group name Arhina Murray, 1876 has been used as valid for a group of beetles in the family Nitidulidae. Indeed this name is preoccupied by the available name Arhina Agassiz, 1846 (Insecta: Diptera). Arhinops nom. n.

Black vine weevil and other wingless weevils: are there any effective conrol methods applicable in outdoor strawberry in Nordic countries? [PDF]
, 2006 The black vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus) is a common pest in Central Europe but rather new on outdoor crops in Finland. Spreading of enthomopathogenic nematodes against weevils by drip irrigation was tested at MTT during 2003-2004.

The first Stylogaster Macquart, 1835 (Diptera: Conopidae) fossil, from Oligo-Miocene Dominican amber, and some phylogenetic and biogeographic considerations [PDF]
Fossil Record, 2015 Stylogaster Macquart, 1835 has been unknown in the fossil record until now, the only fossil conopid genus being Palaeomyopa Meulnier, 1912. Two Stylogaster specimens in amber from the American Museum of Natural History collection were studied and are ...

Physical methods for soil disinfestation in intensive agriculture: Old methods and new approaches [PDF]
, 2010 Physical soil disinfestation is worldwide mainly applied in protected cropping systems or in small-scale intensive field crops. Continuous cropping of monocultures or different host plants for the same pest or pathogen often leads to heavily infested ...

Postsynaptic Complexin Mediates Constitutive Exocytosis of Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Beyond its established presynaptic role, complexin is identified as a postsynaptic regulator of neurotransmitter receptor trafficking. By promoting constitutive and activity‐dependent exocytosis of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, complexin controls spontaneous synaptic signaling at the C.
