Size, Spines, and Nests: What Drives Variation in Death‐Feigning Behavior in Fungus‐Farming Ants?

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We investigated death‐feigning (DF; thanatosis) in fungus‐farming ants, testing how stimulus intensity, morphology, and nest traits shape its occurrence and duration using generalized linear mixed models. Stronger stimuli increased both likelihood and duration, but most variation was structured across species, colonies, and individuals.

Balancing Fire Regimes and Population Dynamics for the Conservation of a Microendemic Lizard From a Biodiversity Hotspot

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Disturbance from fire mediates a potential ecophysiological trade‐off between adult performance and juvenile recruitment in the microendemic lizard Ameivula jalapensis. While open, burned habitats enhance adult thermoregulation and condition, unburned patches remain critical for juvenile thermal optima.

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Comfort and Usability of Digital Versus Conventional Custom‐Fit Mouthguards: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Dental Traumatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives The use of mouthguards protects teeth and the supporting tissues against impacts. Digital impressions and 3D‐printed models can reduce manufacturing steps and minimize discomfort. This study evaluated the fit, comfort, and usability of custom‐made mouthguards, obtained by conventional and digital workflow, in amateur ...

Caffeylpyruvate hydrolase from the bioluminescent fungus Neonothopanus gardneri is the key recycling enzyme in the fungal bioluminescence pathway

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Caffeic acid is a central metabolite in the fungal bioluminescence pathway. We identified and characterized caffeylpyruvate hydrolase from Neonothopanus gardneri (ngarCPH) and demonstrate its ability to hydrolyze fungal oxyluciferin into caffeic and pyruvic acids, confirming a complete and self‐sustained fungal bioluminescence cycle.

Effects of repeated exposure to ozonated water on hair fibre structure and integrity: Part I

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Repeated exposure to ozonated water caused cumulative oxidative changes in hair, altering structural integrity, thermal behaviour and mechanical properties. The findings reveal a distinct ozone‐induced damage profile that progresses beyond the cuticle, challenging claims of hair‐revitalizing benefits. Abstract Objective Ozone has recently been marketed

In Vitro Effects of Combining Resin Infiltration and At‐Home Bleaching on Hydrogen Peroxide Penetration, Color Change and Enamel Morphology

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the effect of resin infiltration (RI) prior to at‐home bleaching on hydrogen peroxide (HP) penetration into the pulp chamber, color change, and enamel morphology in human teeth with sound enamel or white spot lesions (WSLs), using different RI protocols.

6‐Month Clinical Evaluation of Reduced Dentin Etching Time Using Universal Adhesives in Noncarious Cervical Lesions: A Double‐Blind Randomized Clinical Trial

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate the effect of reduced dentin etching time on the clinical performance of two universal adhesive systems in noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs). Methods A total of 144 NCCLs restorations were randomly placed in 36 participants according to four experimental groups: SUP5 (Scotchbond Universal Plus adhesive [pH ≈2.5–2.7 ...

Influence of Universal Adhesives With or Without Silane Compared to One‐Step and Two‐Step Silane Agents on Bond Strength to Lithium Disilicate

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the microshear bond strength (μSBS) to lithium disilicate achieved with universal adhesives (with and without silane) compared with one‐step and two‐step silanes, immediately (IM) and after thermocycling (TC). Chemical interaction (CI) was also assessed.

Is Capsaicin Effective in Relieving the Symptoms of Burning Mouth Syndrome? A Systematic Review

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
The capsaicin, administered topically or systemically, reduces pain symptoms in patients with Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS). However, despite consistent clinical improvement, the current evidence is limited and of low certainty, highlighting the need for well‐designed studies to confirm its effectiveness. ABSTRACT Background Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS)
