Vintage venoms: proteomic and pharmacological stability of snake venoms stored for up to eight decades [PDF]

, 2014
For over a century, venom samples from wild snakes have been collected and stored around the world. However, the quality of storage conditions for "vintage" venoms has rarely been assessed.

Coexistence Patterns Between Ants And Spiders In Grassland Habitats [PDF]

, 2014
The ecological importance of both ants and spiders is well known, as well as the relationship between certain spiders and ants. The two main strategies ˗ myrmecomorphy (ant-mimicking) and myrmecophagy (ant-eating) ˗ that connect spiders to ants have been

Using citizen science as a research prioritization tool to detect co‐occurrences of the invasive species Harmonia axyridis

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We studied co‐occurrences and potential novel interactions between the invasive ladybird Harmonia axyridis and local biota (plants, arthropods and fungi) across Argentina using citizen science records. We detected co‐occurrences (mainly Asteracea and Aphididae) and previously unreported interactions (predation, parasitism, interspecific mating and ...

Antibacterial activity of the venom of Heterometrus xanthopus

, 2012
Heterometrus xanthopus (Scorpion) is one of the most venomous and ancient arthropods. Its venom contains anti-microbial peptides like hadrurin, scorpine, Pandinin 1, and Pandinin 2 that are able to effectively kill multidrug-resistant pathogens.

Making with the Trouble: Un/Enfolding Posthuman Participants with Young People in Creative Post‐Qualitative Research

International Journal of Art &Design Education, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper explores how ‘what matters’ can surface in multisensory arts‐informed projects as ways for young people to survive and stay with gender and sexuality troubles that are always more than theirs. Situated in an ex‐mining post‐industrial locale, we make an agential cut in a longitudinal research and engagement project called Unboxing ...

Spider Neurotoxins, Short Linear Cationic Peptides and Venom Protein Classification Improved by an Automated Competition between Exhaustive Profile HMM Classifiers

Toxins, 2017
Spider venoms are rich cocktails of bioactive peptides, proteins, and enzymes that are being intensively investigated over the years. In order to provide a better comprehension of that richness, we propose a three-level family classification system for ...

Antimicrobial and cytolytic peptides of venomous arthropods [PDF]

, 2018
As a response to invading microorganisms, the innate immune system of arthropods has evolved a complex arrangement of constitutive and inducible antimicrobial peptides that immediately destroy a large variety of pathogens.

Screening for Osteoporosis in Nonagenarians: A Scoping Review

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background As the United States population continues to age and advancements contribute to enhanced life expectancy, care for nonagenarians (adults aged 90 years and older) is as important as ever. A prominent concern within healthcare for the oldest old remains the occurrence of fragility fractures, and subsequent 1‐year mortality, making ...
