Female Anterior Cruciate Ligaments Exhibit a Muted Mechanobiological Response to Mechanical Loading

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Female athletes are significantly more likely to tear their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) compared to their male counterparts. While there are several potential reasons for this, previous data from our lab demonstrated that female ACL explants have an impaired remodeling response to loading, which may prevent the repair of fatigue damage ...

Olfactory response of Habrobracon hebetor (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) to Helicoverpa armigera and its two host plants [PDF]

open access: yesنامه انجمن حشره‌شناسی ایران, 2019
The volatiles emitted by herbivorous insects and herbivore-damaged plants play an important role in foraging behaviour of parasitoids that lead to host location of parasitic wasps.

Biology and Ecology of Melanoplus Borealis (Orthoptera: Acrididae) in Fairbanks, Alaska with Special Reference to Feeding Habits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Overwintered Melanoplus borealis (subspecies, borealis Fieber) eggs hatched within 10-15 days in mid-June. The nymphs molted 5 times and became adults in about 45 days in nature.

A Miocene Wasp [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1907
IN NATURE of June 13, 1901 (vol. lxiv., p. 158), I described a curious variation in a bee (Epeolus), the second transverso-cubital nervure of the wings having its lower half absent. This aberration was evidently an example of “discontinuous variation,” and from its occurrence in several specimens captured at the same place, it seemed that it must be ...

Modulators of Diacylglycerol Kinase Activity: A Review of Advances and Challenges

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Catalyzing the conversion of diacylglycerol (DAG) in phosphatidic acid (PA), diacylglycerol kinases (DGKs) play a pivotal role in all the physiological processes modulated by these two bioactive lipids, such as lipid metabolism and immune regulation.

Exploration of Biomarkers of Food Intake in a Caribbean Hispanic Population

open access: yesMolecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
Validated BFIs show significant associations with food intake in an observational setting, and those associations were often modulated by non‐dietary factors. The identification of genotype‐BFI associations implies that the utility of a BFI could depend on common genetic differences.

Northern Distribution Records for Some Nearctic Pompilidae (Hymenoptera) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Distributional records and nomenclatural changes are presented for 20 species of Nearctic Pompilidae. The records extend the species\u27 ranges northward in North America, are peripheral on the northern boundaries of the ranges, or fill in sizeable gaps ...

Destruction of Wasps [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1915
You may be interested to know that whilst starting up a motor-cycle a few days since, I accidentally discovered that benzol sprayed over a wasp instantly killed it. I tried the same experiment with petrol with the same result.

Bottom–up and top–down diversification: asymmetric processes over space and time

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Coevolution in trophic interactions is often considered as a major factor underlying diversification in interacting species. Most focus hitherto has however been on bottom–up processes where host‐associated differentiation drives diversification, and less on top–down processes through enemy‐associated differentiation.
