Analysis of Gene Expression in Aedes aegypti Suggests Changes in Early Genetic Control of Mosquito Development

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aedes aegypti, a critical vector for tropical diseases, poses significant challenges for studying its embryogenesis due to difficulties in removing its rigid chorion and achieving effective fixation for in situ hybridization. Here, we present novel methodologies for fixation, dechorionation, DAPI staining, and in situ hybridization, enabling ...

Seasonality and nesting habits of the endemic social wasp Polistes ridleyi Kirby, 1890 in the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, Northeast Brazil

Sociobiology, 2023
We studied the seasonality and made notes about the nesting habits of the endemic social wasp Polistes ridleyi Kirby, 1890 of the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago. We collected 427 adult paper wasp P.

Using ontologies for modeling context-aware services platforms [PDF]

, 2003
This paper discusses the suitability of using ontologies for modeling context-aware services platforms. It addresses the directions of research we are following in the WASP (Web Architectures for Services Platforms) project.

Modulators of Diacylglycerol Kinase Activity: A Review of Advances and Challenges

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Catalyzing the conversion of diacylglycerol (DAG) in phosphatidic acid (PA), diacylglycerol kinases (DGKs) play a pivotal role in all the physiological processes modulated by these two bioactive lipids, such as lipid metabolism and immune regulation.

Bottom–up and top–down diversification: asymmetric processes over space and time

Oikos, EarlyView.
Coevolution in trophic interactions is often considered as a major factor underlying diversification in interacting species. Most focus hitherto has however been on bottom–up processes where host‐associated differentiation drives diversification, and less on top–down processes through enemy‐associated differentiation.

Preferential phenotypic association linked with cooperation in paper wasps [PDF]

Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2013
AbstractAnimals can influence their social environment by preferentially associating with certain conspecifics. Such preferential association has gained increasing theoretical attention, as it may influence social evolution and population dynamics. However, relatively little empirical work has examined the occurrence of preferential association and its

New periodic variable stars coincident with ROSAT sources discovered using SuperWASP [PDF]

, 2007
We present optical lightcurves of 428 periodic variable stars coincident with ROSAT X-ray sources, detected using the first run of the SuperWASP photometric survey. Only 68 of these were previously recognised as periodic variables.

Understanding Pollination in Urban Food Production: The Importance of Data Validation and Participant Feedback for Citizen Science Project Design

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Urban agriculture depends on insect pollination, but knowledge gaps persist due to difficulties accessing diverse growing spaces. We developed a citizen science approach for monitoring insect visits to crops and compared grower‐collected data to that of a trained researcher while also gathering participant feedback.
