) for Survival in Permissive Sand Fly Vectors
, 2010 BackgroundSand fly species able to support the survival of the protozoan parasite Leishmania have been classified as permissive or specific, based upon their ability to support a wide or limited range of strains and/or species.

Proteophosophoglycans regurgitated by Leishmania-infected sand flies target the L-arginine metabolism of host macrophages to promote parasite survival [PDF]
, 2009 All natural Leishmania infections start in the skin; however, little is known of the contribution made by the sand fly vector to the earliest events in mammalian infection, especially in inflamed skin that can rapidly kill invading parasites.

MusselFinder: Automated dreissenid mussel density estimation via robotic benthic imaging
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Despite the widespread need to map the abundance of invasive quagga and zebr mussels (Dreissena spp.) in lakes and reservoirs worldwide, current methods remain limited by data collection and analysis bottlenecks. Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) combined with machine learning (ML) offer a scalable remote sensing approach for estimating ...

Sand fly catches inside and outside caves covered with sand fly-proof net.
, 2013 A) Mean number nightly (±SE) of sand flies captured on sticky traps inside and outside caves. The cave openings were covered with sand fly-proof nets. Sand flies were collected daily and the traps were smeared with fresh oil.

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Phenotypic plasticity can facilitate species survival in a variety of conditions that are not possible with a fixed phenotype. Foliar water uptake (FWU), defined as the absorption of water through leaf surfaces, is an important mechanism contributing to plant water balance and drought tolerance in many species.

Novelties in Dimerostemma (Asteraceae, Heliantheae) from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Revisiting the Dimerostemma collection in Rio Grande do Sul, the southernmost state of Brazil, one new species of Dimerostemma is described and another is resurrected. Although previously synonymized under Dimerostemma arnottii, Dimerostemma oppositifolium is here resurrected based on its distinct opposite leaves, linear to lanceolate leaf limbs, and ...

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.Thermal Aging and Tribological Tests of Additive Manufactured PLA Composites. ABSTRACT This study focuses on the additive manufacturing of pure polylactic acid (PLA) specimens and milled glass fiber (GF)‐filled PLA composites under thermal cycling aging and wear tests. Wear tracks have been analyzed via 3D optical profiling and SEM imaging.

Host antibody response to sand fly saliva [PDF]
, 2014 Leishmaniasis is protozoan diseases, which is transport into the host during the feeding of sand fly. During the feeding of infected sand flies not only the leishmania but also the sand fly saliva are inoculated into the hosts.

Niche‐tracking as a collecting method: Habitat‐targeted search strategies for taxon‐focused botany
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Biodiversity science depends on more than collecting plants—it depends on how we search for them. Although GPS and digital maps have transformed fieldwork, they can also encourage repeated visits to the same easy‐to‐access sites, leaving other habitats and populations unknown to science.
