The Enzymatic Core of Scorpion Venoms [PDF]
Toxins, 2022 Enzymes are an integral part of animal venoms. Unlike snakes, in which enzymes play a primary role in envenomation, in scorpions, their function appears to be ancillary in most species.

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.Multi‐species transcriptomics and deep learning identified candidate genes associated with silk and venom production in Bibionomorpha. Venom‐associated genes were enriched in proteases, inhibitors and pore‐forming proteins, whereas silk‐related genes showed chitin‐binding and peritrophin domains. Integrating co‐expression networks, machine learning and

Introduction: Charting the Evolution of English and Anglophone Writing in Asia
World Englishes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This introductory article explores the history of the English language and literatures in the Asian ‘Outer Circle’ countries, or English in its ‘second diaspora’, focusing primarily on literature from its beginnings to the present. Due to space limitations, the scope is further narrowed to poetry and the novel – the two genres that, arguably ...
