Metabolism‐Regulating Nanomedicines for Cancer Therapy

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
This review highlights metabolism‐regulating nanomedicines designed to target glycolytic, lipid, amino acid, and nucleotide pathways in tumors. By incorporating metabolism‐regulating agents into versatile nanocarriers such as liposomes, micelles, dendrimers, and engineered bacteria, these platforms achieve targeted delivery, controlled release ...

Who was the real sabertooth predator: Thylacosmilus or Thylacoleo?

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Sabertoothed mammalian predators, all now extinct, were almost exclusively feloid carnivorans (Eutheria, Placentalia): here a couple of extinct metatherian predators are considered in comparison with the placental sabertooths. Thylacosmilus (the “marsupial sabertooth”) and Thylacoleo (the “marsupial lion”) were both relatively large (puma ...

Verified and potential pathogens of predatory mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae) [PDF]

, 2008
Several species of phytoseiid mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae), including species of the genera Amblyseius, Galendromus, Metaseiulus, Neoseiulus, Phytoseiulus and Typhlodromus, are currently reared for biological control of various crop pests and/or as model ...

Bending performance changes during prolonged canine eruption in saber‐toothed carnivores: A case study of Smilodon fatalis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The canine of saber‐toothed predators represents one of the most specialized dental structures known. Hypotheses about the function of hypertrophied canines range from display and conspecific interaction, soft food processing, to active prey acquisition.

Prey density affects predator foraging strategy in an Antarctic ecosystem

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Studying the effects of prey distribution on predator behavior is complex in systems where there are multiple prey species. The role of prey density in predator behavior is rarely studied in closed ecosystems of one predator species and one prey species,

Prey-tracking behavior and prey preferences in a tree-climbing firefly [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Prey-tracking behavior is common in snail-killing predators, but in the family Lampyridae, this behavior has been validated in only a single species even though this Coleopteran family includes many specialist snail predators.

Comparing cranial biomechanics between Barbourofelis fricki and Smilodon fatalis: Is there a universal killing‐bite among saber‐toothed predators?

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Saber‐tooths, extinct apex predators with long and blade‐like upper canines, have appeared iteratively at least five times in the evolutionary history of vertebrates. Although saber‐tooths exhibit a relatively diverse range of morphologies, it is widely accepted that all killed their prey using the same predatory behavior. In this study, we CT‐

Can Wolf Predation Immediately Alter the Foraging Behavior of Beavers?: Video of a Wolf Killing a Foraging Beaver

Ecology and Evolution
Knowledge of wolf (Canis lupus)‐beaver (Castor canadensis) interactions has largely been derived from indirect observations due to the cryptic nature of wolves and the densely forested areas where they usually kill beavers. In September 2023, we captured

The anti-predatory behavioral repertoire of Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]

, 2013
This is the poster presented by the first author, Abhijna Anand Parigi, at the 4th annual BEACON congress, August 2013 at Michigan State University. This represents some of our currently unpublished work to describe the set of behaviors (ethogram) for Drosophila melanogaster under risk of predation by the Zebra jumping spider (Salticus scenicus).

Hypercanines: Not just for sabertooths

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hypercanines are here defined as hypertrophied caniniform teeth, that is, canine teeth that are elongated to serve specific functions in different clades of mammals and their synapsid ancestors. This article presents an overview of the occurrence of hypercanines, their growth, and their function across a broad range of clades.
