Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2009 The immature stages of Neotropical ticks are poorly known and in many cases have not been described. This work presents a morphological description of Amblyomma brasiliense larvae (F1) and a redescription of nymphs (F1). A. brasiliense is reported as one

Algorithms, nymphs, and shepherds
Theoretical Computer Science, 2002 AbstractComputability and complexity are the two major lines along which the science of algorithms has evolved; but the same concepts guide many human activities. We try to catch some glimpses of the connections between these two worlds, to meet the expectations of the audience. We will encounter nymphs and universal Turing Machines, ancient traditions

The Effects of Different Diets and Transgenerational Stress on Acyrthosiphon pisum Development. [PDF]
, 2019 Despite the fact that sap-feeding hemipterans are major agricultural pests, little is known about the pea aphid's (Acyrthosiphon pisum) nymphal development, compared to other insect models. Given our limited understanding of A.

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.The discovery of a terpene synthase of insect origin that makes the apparently cryptic product nephthenol from geranylgeranyl diphosphate sheds light on hidden biosynthetic potential. Populations of the sandfly, Lutzomyia longipalpis, use the diterpene sobralene as a sex/aggregation pheromone, which is likely produced in the insect through the activity

The women honoured in flowering plant genera: From myth to reality
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Many flowering plant genera are named for people, but there is a gender gap in this naming, with only 6% of eponyms honouring women. Here we explore this gap by examining in detail women for whom plant genera are named. Our open shared dataset serves to make women honoured in plant genera more discoverable, resulting in further impact by allowing ...
