Cretaceous lacewing larvae with binocular vision demonstrate the convergent evolution of sophisticated simple eyes

Insect Science, EarlyView.
We report three ca. 100 million‐year‐old lacewing larvae with extraordinarily large stemmata. One of them additionally has a very wide head, which represents a previously unknown morphology. The arrangement of the stemmata indicates stereoscopic vision in these predatory larvae.

Genetic differentiation and adaptive evolution of buff‐tailed bumblebees in Asia

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the genetic differentiation and local adaptation of the buff‐tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) across its European and Asian populations. Using whole‐genome resequencing, we identified distinct genetic differences between populations, with Asian B. terrestris representing a unique genetic resource.

Cooperative torus mode emission of O-ring lasers

AIP Advances, 2020
Deformable ring lasers were fabricated by dispersing fluorescent dye (rhodamine 6G) in silicone rubber rings, i.e., the so-called O-rings. When excited with a pulsed green laser, an O-ring of 750 µm diameter exhibited a stimulated emission with a ...

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Cossid moths (Lepidoptera: Cossidae) as pests of woody plants – A review

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Cossidae is a worldwide family of macro‐moths popularly known as carpenter moths due to the larval habit of boring in the wood of living plants. This review compiles current knowledge on the characteristics, diversity and bionomy of cossid moths as well as the damage they cause on woody plants.

Endovascular treatment for ureterorectal-arterial fistula and external iliac artery stenosis caused by recurrent endometrial cancer invasion: A case report

Radiology Case Reports
Owing to improvements in anticancer treatment, patients’ overall survival has been prolonged, and late complications occur more frequently than previously. We successfully managed a case of ureterorectal-arterial fistula (URAF) and external iliac artery (

Aphid proliferation in orchard alleys and canopy predator aggregation in eastern German apple orchards

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Abstract 1. European apple (Malus domestica) orchards face persistent threats from aphid infestations, which can severely compromise fruit yields. 2. In this study, we compared aphid communities in two microhabitats (tree canopy and orchard alley) in commercial apple orchards under organic and integrated pest management (IPM), in relation to ...

Trade-Off Relation between Fungicide Sensitivity and Melanin Biosynthesis in Plant Pathogenic Fungi

iScience, 2020
Summary: Circumventing the emergence of fungicide-resistant strains is a crucial issue for robust disease management in agriculture. The agricultural fungicide ferimzone has been used for the control of rice diseases including rice blast.

First Zoeal Stage of the Snapping Shrimp Alpheus Fabricius, 1798 (Caridea: Alpheidae): New Description of Alpheus bouvieri A. Milne‐Edwards, 1878 and Literature Review

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Based on adult morphological characters, the more than 300 species of Alpheus were divided into seven informal species groups, but some groups are not supported by molecular data. The aim here was to describe the zoea I of Alpheus bouvieri, and to do a review of the larval descriptions available in the literature, analysing whether the ...
