Natural antibacterial silk produced by feeding silkworms with human hair derived carbon dots

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Blue‐fluorescent and antibacterial carbon dots, prepared from Crinis Carbonisatus (a traditional Chinese medicine made by calcinating human hair), are fed to silkworms to produce multifunctional silk, which retains its inherent mechanical properties, exhibits blue fluorescence, possesses antibacterial activity, and promotes the wound healing of rats as

From Algorithms to Ecosystems: Conceptual Links Between Artificial Intelligence and Biological Control

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growing convergence between artificial intelligence (AI) and biological sciences has revealed important conceptual parallels between computational systems and ecological processes. This study proposes a systems‐based framework to move beyond purely metaphorical comparisons by distinguishing three analytical levels of correspondence between

Heterogeneity in the projections and excitability of tyraminergic/octopaminergic neurons that innervate the Drosophila reproductive tract

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience
Aminergic nuclei in mammals are generally composed of relatively small numbers of cells with broad projection patterns. Despite the gross similarity of many individual neurons, recent transcriptomic, anatomic and behavioral studies suggest previously ...

Physical and chemical cues influencing the oviposition behaviour of Aphidius ervi.

, 2000
The oviposition behaviour of the aphid parasitoid Aphidius ervi Haliday is influenced by both chemical and physical cues. Oviposition attack responses were elicited by oaint pigments sealed into the tip of a glass capillary tube.

Agricultural Fungicide Mancozeb in Leaf Litter Enhances Survival and Growth of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae)

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mancozeb is one of the most widely used agricultural fungicides, exhibiting strong efficacy against a broad spectrum of phytopathogenic fungi. However, its widespread application comes at the cost of environmental contamination. Here, we show the effects of Inga vera leaf litter contamination with Mancozeb on life‐history traits of Aedes ...

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

Oviposition Data

, 2018
This data set contains the raw data for the length of time (hours) until the first oviposition event occurred at each temperature, the number of eggs laid at each temperature and the oviposition sites selected at each temperature for each species ...

Husbandry factors are associated with skin, gastrointestinal and ophthalmic disorders in leopard geckos (Eublepharis macularius)

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Research into disorders in captive reptiles is notably sparse in the UK, despite the popularity of various species as pets. This study aimed to survey and investigate risk factors for disorders of leopard geckos in the UK. Methods Medical records for leopard geckos presenting at three veterinary practices between 2019 and 2023 were ...

Evaluation of the Sex and Species Distribution, Breeding, and Life Expectancy of Zoo‐Housed Chameleons

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT More than a third of the 202 identified chameleon species are classified as “vulnerable” or “critically endangered”. No data is available regarding the life expectancy of chameleons kept in zoos. The objectives of this study were to determine the sex and species distribution of chameleons kept in zoological institutions, and to assess their ...
