Direct Pharmacological Activation of AMPK Extends Lifespan in Yeast, Worms and Flies
AMP‐activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a key evolutionarily conserved sensor of energy homeostasis, which is implicated in metabolic health and disease, as well as in ageing. Here, we show that direct pharmacological activation of AMPK with the compound 991 in vivo extends lifespan in multiple model organisms: the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces ...

ABSTRACT The fruit‐piercing moth, Serrodes partita (Lepidoptera: Erebidae), is a significant pest of soft citrus in South Africa. The adult moth pierces ripe and ripening fruit, leading to fruit rot. The damage is challenging to detect due to the delayed onset of symptoms. The study investigated the feeding preferences and damage patterns of S. partita

Distinctive gene expression in the reduced first thoracic legs of a nymphalid butterfly
Transcriptome analysis reveals that the small non‐walking front legs of a butterfly have distinct gene expression to the four walking legs. Reduced front legs express a gene with putative mechanosensory roles, a blue‐sensitive opsin and two homeobox genes.

ABSTRACT Introgression between genetically distinct populations generates variation that may promote adaptation to diverse environmental conditions. In the mosquito Aedes aegypti, the forest‐associated subspecies Aedes aegypti formosus (Aaf) underwent a domestication process approximately 5000 years ago, giving rise to the globally invasive, human ...

Peptide‐enabled nanoplatforms offer multifunctional strategies for the treatment and diagnosis of malaria and leishmaniasis. Liposomal, polymeric, and metallic nanocarriers, together with cell‐penetrating peptides and parasite‐derived mimotopes, can improve targeted drug delivery, stability, bioavailability, and intracellular localization.

Review of the trade in proboscis monkeys over the last 25 years
Proboscis monkeys Nasalis larvatus are endemic to the island of Borneo (politically shared between Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam and Indonesia) and are threatened by habitat destruction, fires and hunting.

Morphological studies of the proboscis can provide valuable insights into the evolutionary adaptations of Lepidoptera. However, such research is relatively limited for Pieridae, a family that is significant both ecologically and economically.

Male proboscis monkey cranionasal size and shape is associated with visual and acoustic signalling
The large nose adorned by adult male proboscis monkeys is hypothesised to serve as an audiovisual signal of sexual selection. It serves as a visual signal of male quality and social status, and as an acoustic signal, through the expression of loud, low ...
