Brood size in a subsocial bark beetle breeding in live plants

, 2009
Maternal care is found in many insect species, and maternal care affects both offspring survival and growth significantly. The effect of maternal care was tested on the monogynous bark beetle Scolytodes gunnerae which breeds in live Gunnera petioles, by experimentally removing females from galleries to see how offspring survival and the number of ...

Ashwagandha: Is It Safe? Part 1: A Regulatory Review

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over the last decade, ashwagandha (Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal, AS) has been brought under increasing scrutiny by EU regulators regarding its safety for the use in food supplements, culminating in a recent recommendation for an Article 8 procedure according to Regulation (EC) No. 1925/2006 in the European Union (EU).

Pedunculoside Inhibits Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression by Activating the MAPK Signaling Pathway Through Targeting and Suppressing CDK4

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Pedunculoside targets and suppresses CDK4; consequently, it activates the MAPK pathway and inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma progression. ABSTRACT Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a major challenge in cancer prevention and treatment, highlighting the urgent need for effective and low‐toxicity anti‐HCC therapies. Recently, CDK4‐targeted inhibitors

Safety Evaluation of an Aqueous Root and Leaf Extract of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Sensoril, an aqueous root and leaf extract of ashwagandha showed no evidence of mutagenicity in the in vitro Ames assay, was negative in the in vitro micronucleus, in vivo mammalian bone marrow chromosome aberration assays, and was well tolerated in the rat at up to 4000 mg/kg BW/day when administered orally for a period of 90 days. The data from these

Deep learning‐based ecological analysis of camera trap images is impacted by training data quality and quantity

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Machine learning image classifiers are increasingly being used to automate camera trap image labelling, but we don't know how much ML model accuracy matters for downstream ecological analyses. Using two large data sets from an African savannah and an Asian dry forest ecosystem, we compared human labelled data with predictions from deep‐learning models ...

Hyperspectral species maps and LiDAR‐based structured population models show future forest fire frequency may compromise forest resilience

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Monitoring forest recovery from disturbances at scale requires tracking tree dynamics, yet traditional ground‐based approaches are resource‐intensive. We present a pipeline to parameterize integral projection models (IPMs) using LiDAR data and hyperspectral‐based species maps to assess post‐fire recovery across large, forested areas at the Caribou ...
