An Overlooked Habitat‐Dependent Link Between Metabolism and Water Loss in Reptiles

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We measured the gas exchange of six lizard and six snake species, under high and low air humidity, and two intriguing patterns emerged. First, although desert species lose less water via evaporation than similar‐sized mesic species under similar conditions, water loss is virtually the same when each is exposed to its natural conditions.

The evolution and distribution of noxious species of scorpions (Arachnida: Scorpiones)

open access: yesJournal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2018
This contribution attempts to bring some general information on the evolution and, in particular, on the geographic distribution of scorpion species noxious to humans. Since 95% of the scorpions incidents are generated by specimens of the family Buthidae

Art v 1 and Amb a 4 Co‐Sensitization Identifies Italian Patients at Risk for Mugwort‐Celery‐Spice Syndrome

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
Three molecular profiles identified among Art v 1/Amb a 4‐sensitized patients: Art v 1 monosensitization, Amb a 4 monosensitization, and dual sensitization to both allergens. Art v 1 monosensitization was predominantly associated with allergic rhinitis, reflecting a classical airborne allergy pattern.

Devouring the Invaders: The Racial‐Ecological Politics of the Chinese Crayfish Trade in Kenya

open access: yesAmerican Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines entanglements of ecology, race, and foodways at Lake Naivasha in Kenya. Nonnative Louisiana red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), first introduced to Kenya in the 1960s, were once viewed as invasive but are now sought after as a delicacy among Kenya's Chinese community.

Impact of Sequential Ramucirumab Plus Docetaxel After PD‐1 Inhibitors on Anti‐PD‐1 Antibody‐Bound T‐Cell Dynamics and Clinical Outcomes

open access: yesCancer Science, EarlyView.
Ramucirumab (RAM) plus docetaxel (DOC) after PD‐1 inhibitors showed clinical activity, with responders exhibiting maintained anti–PD‐1 (IgG4+)‐bound CD8+ T cells and decreased IgG4+ Tregs. A sequential strategy of administering RAM plus DOC during persistent anti–PD‐1 antibody binding may be beneficial in patients with advanced non‐small cell lung ...
