Spinal Anesthesia Failure Following Wasp Envenomation: A Case Series of Two Patients. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Spinal anesthesia is highly effective, and complete failure in healthy patients is rare. Wasp venom contains neuroactive peptides capable of modifying sodium‐channel function and inducing neuroinflammation, but its impact on neuraxial anesthesia has not been previously reported. We describe two healthy ASA I males who developed complete spinal

Functional variation in butterfly egg pore traits: The potential role of climate

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Immobile eggs of terrestrial animals are exposed to variable environmental conditions. Insect egg pores, critical for gas exchange (aeropyles) and fertilisation (micropyles), are ecologically important yet understudied.

Complex multitrophic species interactions and fitness costs: Intricate consequences of jasmonate and salicylate induced plant defences

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reveals how long‐term activation of jasmonic and salicylic acid signalling reshapes arthropod communities and plant fitness across seasons. By showing that induced defences generate contrasting outcomes and cascading trade‐offs across trophic levels, it challenges the assumption that induced resistance is uniformly beneficial in natural ...

Beta diversity of Arctiinae moths (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) along a recovering tropical forest gradient

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using novel approaches of Hill‐number based and coverage‐standardized dissimilarity metrics and community‐weighted traits, we show that tiger moth communities exhibit various traits prone to land‐use intensity and undergo a complex and non‐linear response to tropical rainforest recovery, corroborating recent findings on biotic differentiation (Keck et ...

Effects of bleach on carcass postmortem microbiomes and necrophagous beetle carcass attendance and their internal microbiomes

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Forensic entomology, and potentially microbiology in the future, can be used during death investigations to corroborate an estimated time since death. Instances where products are introduced to a cadaver, either in attempt to conceal or by accident, can affect decomposition and succession of associated decomposer taxa (i.e., insects and ...

Offspring performance does not explain oviposition preference in the leafminer Stigmella sorbi (Lepidoptera: Nepticulidae): a tri‐trophic perspective

Insect Science, EarlyView.
We studied oviposition site selection in a leaf‐mining moth (Stigmella sorbi) on rowan trees (Sorbus aucuparia) in northwestern Russia, assessing larval performance across different shoot types, leaf positions, and leaflets. Larval survival was highest on long vegetative shoots, yet females showed no preference for these optimal sites.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Is the reuse of abandoned nest material a characteristic of the genus Parachartergus Ihering, 1904 (Vespidae: Polistinae)?

Entomology Beginners
The social wasp species of the genus Parachartergus Ihering, 1904 (Vespidae: Polistinae) use plant fibers and saliva to build their nests, although two species are known to reuse material from abandoned nests belonging to other wasps. This paper aims to
