Solving the trophic puzzle: Host–parasite associations in Neotropical fig wasps associated with fig trees of section Americanae

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
We determined the trophic associations among fig wasp species associated with Ficus citrifolia by integrating gall morphology, the temporal sequence of wasp colonization, and oviposition behaviour. Dissection of galls produced by four gall‐inducing species at a late developmental phase enabled direct identification of occupants and inference of host ...

Peripheral blood mononuclear cell secretome from patients with autoimmune encephalitis promotes seizures in vitro

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is characterized by inflammatory processes in the central nervous system and frequently presents with seizures. Even though an ictogenic potential has been shown for some antibodies against neuronal surface antigens (NSAbs), AE pathophysiology is complex, and NSAbs‐independent mechanisms are likely to ...

Characterization of Unidirectional Aligned Discontinuous Fiber Reinforced Composites Containing a Toughened Epoxy Resin Produced Using the HiPerDiF Process

Polymer Composites, Volume 46, Issue 17, Page 16184-16199, 10 December 2025.
Alignment of discontinuous fibers using the HiPerDiF 3G machine. ABSTRACT Aligned discontinuous fiber reinforced composites (ADFRC) offer promising applications due to their manufacturability and tailorable mechanical properties. In this study, the high performance discontinuous fiber (HiPerDiF) technology is used to produce ADFRC consisting of 3 and 6

High‐Resolution 3‐Dimensional Micro‐CT Imaging of Intervertebral Discs Using a Novel Contrast Agent

JOR SPINE, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2025.
This study introduces the first use of a contrast agent (potassium iodide) to enhance 3D imaging of the nucleus pulposus within an intact intervertebral disc (IVD). This method was used to demonstrate consistent 3D imaging of the nucleus pulposus across multiple animal models, including spine and tail IVDs.

Impact of Plastic Mulching on Microplastic Contamination in Mountainous Agricultural Soils

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 4, Issue 4, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) have extensively contaminated both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, yet their distribution and impacts in soil—both a source and a sink for MPs—remain poorly understood, particularly in remote agricultural landscapes.
