Utilizing Red Spotted Apollo Butterfly Transcriptome to Identify Antimicrobial Peptide Candidates against Porphyromonas gingivalis

open access: yesInsects, 2021
Classical antibiotics are the foremost treatment strategy against microbial infections. Overuse of this has led to the evolution of antimicrobial resistance. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are natural defense elements present across many species including

Dwarf Mongooses Lose Body Mass in Hot Weather due to Limited Behavioural Plasticity. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
Using long‐term data from wild dwarf mongooses (Helogale parvula), we demonstrate that on hot days (≥ 35°C) compared to matched cooler ones (≤ 33°C), mongooses emerged and commenced foraging earlier in morning and arrived at and entered their overnight sleeping burrow later in the evening, but we find no further evidence of behavioural plasticity ...
