“TO SEUNAGAN SEEKING HAS SPREAD”: THE TRANSMISSION OF ESOTERIC TRADITION AND HISTORY AS PROPHECY

History and Theory, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this essay, I explore accusations of heterodoxy, as well as rebuttals of these accusations, leveled at Sufi groups in late‐colonial and independent Aceh, the last region of what is today Indonesia to fall under Dutch colonial rule. What has been at stake in debates about the orthodoxy of such groups has not simply, or even primarily, been ...

Anthropogenic and natural factors are associated with bird dawn chorus onset in subtropical East Asia

Ibis, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic factors such as artificial lighting at night (ALAN) and natural factors including temperature and moonlight can affect the dawn chorus pattern in birds. However, most studies are conducted in temperate regions. We investigated the effect of anthropogenic and natural factors on dawn chorus timing in eight species of bird across Hong Kong ...

Towards a unified publicly accessible database of avian type specimens

Ibis, EarlyView.
Type specimens represent the crucial physical reference for any scientific bird name, but type material is scattered widely across the globe, and there is still no one comprehensive source documenting the presence, status and condition of all avian type specimens, as well as associated information on nomenclature and the validity of individual names ...

From biology to biotechnology: Host‐regulation factors from parasitoid wasps are a source of bioactive molecules with translational potential

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

Genome assembly of Elcysma westwoodi provides insights into host‐plant cyanogenic glucoside detoxification and chemical defence gene evolution

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
A chromosome‐level genome of Elcysma westwoodi was assembled. The genome encodes 272 detoxification‐related genes. A single‐copy bCAS was retained for cyanide detoxification. CYP405A and CYP332A were recruited into cyanogenic defence evolution. UGT33A retained a conserved GT‐B fold and catalytic domains.
