Exploring marking methods for the predatory hoverfly Sphaerophoria rueppellii (Diptera: Syrphidae)
Insect Science, EarlyView.As important pollinators and predators of aphids, hoverflies play an important role in ecosystems. This study focuses on identifying the best marking technique for the model species Sphaerophoria rueppellii that can be used to track hoverfly feeding and oviposition sites, evaluating three methods: rubidium (RbCl), fluorescein, and fluorescent dusts ...

Australian Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This ex vivo study characterised the mesial root morphology of mandibular first molars with a middle mesial canal (MMC) using micro‐CT. Among 469 scanned molars, 42 (8.96%) presented an MMC. Morphological parameters analysed included canal configuration, chamber orifice features, dentine thickness, isthmus type, and aspect ratio.

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and the North Carolina Index (NCI) for identifying dentin type (sclerotic vs. nonsclerotic) in natural noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs). Materials and Methods Thirty extracted human premolars with 30 NCCLs (90 regions of interest) were analyzed. Two blinded,
