Pest categorisation of Diaprepes abbreviatus

EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of the citrus root weevil Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) for the European Union (EU) following the commodity risk assessment of Ligustrum delavayanum topiary grafted on L. japonicum plants from the UK in which D.

Pitfalls of using sequence databases for heterologous expression studies – a technical review

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 601, Issue 9, Page 1611-1623, 1 May 2023., 2023
Abstract figure legend Projects involving heterologous gene expression are often characterised by similar steps. Initially, database research (A) is necessary to retrieve information of full or partial sequences of a gene of interest. A multitude of genome assemblies are annotated and deposited in public databases or are available for refined search ...

Testing background matching and disruptive colouration in a sexually dichromatic grasshopper: a computer detection experiment

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 171, Issue 4, Page 258-267, April 2023., 2023
Cryptic colouration is an adaptative mechanism against predation. In a computer experiment, we analysed the cryptic effectiveness of male and female colour patterns of Sphenarium zapotecum (Orthoptera: Pyrogomorphidae) grasshoppers. Males were most disruptive and females had higher background matching.

The effect of microlevel and macrolevel signaling on learning with 360° videos

Applied Cognitive Psychology, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 232-246, January/February 2023., 2023
Abstract The application of 360° videos raised the attention of educators and researchers, as it appears to be an approachable option to mediate complete environments in educational settings. However, challenges emerge from the perspective of educational psychology.

Effect of heavy metals pollution on the composition and diversity of the intestinal microbial community of a pygmy grasshopper (Eucriotettix oculatus)

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
Heavy metal pollution in the environment is mostly manifested as a multi-elemental compound pollution. The effect of the long-term exposure to heavy metal pollution on the gut microbes of insects has remained unknown. For the current work, the population

Bite force estimates and morphological correlations of jaw muscles in parrots

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Parrots (Order: Psittaciformes) are renowned for their high bite force (BF) and morphological correlates thereof, including a highly mobile skull and two unique mandibular adductor muscles—m. pseudomasseter and m. ethmomandibularis, with the former being hypothesized to increase force output.
