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 ...

The Oneiric Reality of Electronic Scents [PDF]
, 2014 This paper investigates the ‘oneiric’ dimension of scent, by suggesting a new design process that can be worn as a fashion accessory or integrated in textile technologies, to subtly alter reality and go beyond our senses.

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, EarlyView.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.High phenotypic variation in femoral pore number across 55 populations of Podarcis muralis is best explained by a combination of positive allometry (size) and the local intensity of sexual selection (sexual dimorphism in body size, SSD) or local climatic conditions, notably temperature and vegetation density.

Allergy, EarlyView.Cystatin SN is highly expressed in the epithelial lining fluid (ELF) of patients with type 2 (T2) chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). ELF cystatin SN expression correlates with nasal T2/eosinophilic inflammation and impaired olfactory function. ELF cystatin SN is a non‐invasive biomarker for predicting T2 CRS with superior accuracy.

Allergy, EarlyView.This randomized double‐blind clinical trial investigated the impact of aspirin therapy after desensitization in patients with CRSwNP, asthma, and N‐ERD. Various clinical outcomes were assessed, including health‐related quality of life (with the SNOT‐22 questionnaire) and the severity of nasal polyposis (with the NPS).

Non‐canonical PKG1 regulation in cardiovascular health and disease
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.It is well established that the cyclic GMP‐dependent protein kinase I (PKG1) is canonically activated by cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), enabling its regulation of vascular tone, cardiac function and smooth muscle homeostasis. However, diverse non‐canonical stimuli of PKG1 have also been identified.
