Erythrocyte ‘Feierzeit’ reaction: Novel filamentous and vesicular response to n‐butyl acetate
Abstract Human erythrocytes (red blood cells; RBCs) undergo spontaneous disassembly after several hours of exposure to n‐butyl acetate (nBA). Images of the morphological changes were captured in time‐lapse sequences using differential interference contrast (DIC) light microscopy.

Partial replacement of Brewer's yeast (protein source) with inactivated Enterobacter biomass during larval development enhanced mating competitiveness of sterile VIENNA 8 GSS males under outdoor field‐cage conditions. Sterile male mating performance was season‐dependent, with highest competitiveness in spring, intermediate in autumn and the lowest ...

Abstract Post‐cognitivist approaches recognize cognition as a phenomenon that involves not just brains but all the sensorimotor apparatus of organisms. This means that brains are not always required for the emergence of cognition and that every organism can, in principle, be cognitive, unlocking a theoretical framework to explain the complex adaptive ...

ABSTRACT This paper proposes the notion of “olfactory contact zones” to investigate the role of odors and scents and the affects they give rise to in Berlin's urban publics. Drawing on the notion of the “afterlife” of racialised violence, it shows how tropes of the “smelly immigrant,” anchored in European antisemitism and colonial history, live on ...

Integrated pest management uptake in UK fresh produce: Barriers and opportunities
This article explores the barriers to, and opportunities for, uptake of Integrated Pest Management in the UK fresh produce industry, through interviews with 24 key stakeholders. Findings suggest that the diversity of horticultural crops means IPM definitions and practices are inconsistent and hard to legislate and government policy has created ...
