Biology, ecology and dynamics of Deborrea malgassa (Heylarts 1884) (Lepidoptera: Psychidae), the main threat to apple Malus domestica Borkh growing in Madagascar

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Bioecology parameters of the endemic Psychidae Deborrea malgassa, the main pest of apple trees in Madagascar. Spatiotemporal dynamics of Deborrea malgassa, with a peak infestation between May and August. Proposed targeted prophylaxis techniques associated with other agroecological principles will be key to reducing the vulnerability of apple orchards ...

Sox9 and Vasa Gene Expression During Gonadal Differentiation in Larvae of the Urodele Amphibian Ambystoma mexicanum

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The study of genes involved in sexual differentiation, as Vasa and Sox9, is of great importance, as they serve as specific markers for the germline and the male differentiation pathway, respectively. This study characterized using immunofluorescence the expression of the Vasa and Sox9 genes and laminin during gonadal differentiation in larvae ...

Reconstructing the major skull myology of the giant stem‐amphibian Mastodonsaurus: A case study for early tetrapods

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We reconstruct the major cranial musculature of the giant stem amphibian Mastodonsaurus giganteus, revealing a differentiated jaw‐adductor system, a probable sesamoid pulley, and previously unrecognised muscles. This EPB‐based case study establishes an anatomical framework for modelling feeding in early tetrapods and supports interpretations of ...

Termite behavioral responses to a worker, soldier, neotenic king, and neotenic queen.

, 2019
Behavioral responses were measured in 10 min assays. Queens and kings in all assays were neotenic (secondary) reproductives generated within the lab. Each assay dish consisted of 30 workers, 2 soldiers, and an introduced live focal termite, and assays ...

Molecular phylogenetic analysis sheds light on the diversity and evolutionary history of the Neotropical and African Triplophyllum (Tectariaceae)

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
We used a molecular approach to resolve the evolutionary lineages of Neotropical Triplophyllum, uncovering that current species circumscriptions are hindered by high morphological homoplasy in indument characters. Our results support the recognition of three new species and provide a necessary neotypification for T.

Influence of Habitat Use on Prey Capture Behavior and Kinematics in the Pyrenean Brook Newt (Calotriton asper)

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 10, Page 1040-1052, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Caves are extreme environments that impose stringent selective pressures on organisms. Consequently, many cave dwellers show extreme adaptations such as the loss of eyes, depigmentation, and a low resting metabolic rate. Yet, how the initial stages of adaptation to these extreme environments take place remains poorly understood.

Physiological Postnatal Neurogenesis, Development, and Maturation in the Regenerable Retina

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 10, October 2026.
Retinal structural remodeling from hatchlings to preadults in axolotls involves neurogenesis, cell redistribution, increased expression of photopsins and connexins, and enhanced inhibitory regulation. The peripheral retina of young animals possesses more columnar undifferentiated cells, resembling the columnar DCX‐positive progenitor cells in the ...

Colony Breeding Structure of the Invasive Termite Reticulitermes urbis [PDF]

, 2013
International audienceInvasive species cause severe environmental and economic problems. The invasivesuccess of social insects often appears to be related to their ability to adjust their social organizationto new environments.

Specific behaviour of soldiers towards reproductives of termite genus Prorhinotermes (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae). [PDF]

, 2012
Soldier caste is the oldest altruistic caste in termites, highly specialized for defensive tasks. Therefore, a number of adaptations in anatomy and behaviour can be observed in soldier, lacking in other termite castes. The aim of this study was to verify

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? A Psychoanalytic Inquiry Into Large Language Models

International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies, Volume 23, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Large language models produce fluent, contextually appropriate language that invites the inference that something behind the output is thinking. The psychoanalytic theory of thinking, specifically the work of Wilfred Bion and Donald Winnicott read together, allows us to specify what thinking requires, what the LLM lacks, and what occurs when a
