Oscillating magnetic field disrupts magnetic orientation in Zebra finches, Taeniopygia guttata [PDF]

, 2009
Background Zebra finches can be trained to use the geomagnetic field as a directional cue for short distance orientation. The physical mechanisms underlying the primary processes of magnetoreception are, however, largely unknown.

Freshwater Haplosporidian Diversity Associated With Invasive Non‐Native Bivalves in the River Thames, Including Haplosporidium raabei Infecting Dreissena polymorpha

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Haplosporidians are protistan parasites of aquatic invertebrates. Described here is the first report of the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) parasite Haplosporidium raabei in the River Thames, London, UK. The prevalence of this protist in the upper tidal Thames, Richmond, was higher than previously reported in other studies from the UK and ...

Parental state dynamically reshapes auditory processing of offspring vocalizations in zebra finches

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Parental care is critical for offspring survival. For many species, including humans, auditory cues unique to dependent offspring, such as baby cries, elicit the necessary behavior from parents to care for young. Despite this, we know little about how the brain encodes auditory cues specific to offspring.

Impact of potato psyllid density and timing of infestation on Zebra chip disease expression in potato plants

Plant Protection Science, 2016
The impact of vector density and timing of infestation on potato were investigated. Healthy potato plants at different growth stages (4, 5, and 7 weeks after germination) were exposed separately to four different B. cockerelli densities (0, 5, 20, and 40

Speaker Perceptions of Americanisms in Nigerian English

Journal of Sociolinguistics, Volume 30, Issue 4, Page 426-438, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the perceptions of Americanisms among three generations of Nigerians. While prior research has provided quantitative evidence for American influence in contemporary Nigerian English, the role of language beliefs and ideologies in mediating such changes remains underexplored.

High-resolution and multi-range particle separation by microscopic vibration in an optofluidic chip

, 2017
An optofluidic chip is demonstrated in experiments for high-resolution and multi-range particle separation through the optically-induced microscopic vibration effect, where nanoparticles are trapped in loosely overdamped optical potential wells created ...

Emerging potato pathogens affecting food security in southern Africa: Recent research

South African Journal of Science, 2020
Potato is a staple crop that contributes to food security and poverty alleviation in developing nations. Despite this, yields in developing nations are often unsustainably low, due to various biotic and abiotic factors that negatively affect production ...

Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) feeding on donkeys in the United Kingdom, with reference to the risk of transmission and persistence of African horse sickness virus

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 560-567, September 2026.
Culicoides biting midges were collected at a donkey sanctuary in the United Kingdom using UV light‐suction traps. Culicoides were found in abundance and all specimens were identified to species level. Blood‐feeding on donkeys was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing of host bloodmeals. Donkeys could play a significant role in the

Effects of Temperature on ‘CandidatusLiberibacter solanacearum’ and Zebra Chip Potato Disease Symptom Development [PDF]

Plant Disease, 2012
Temperature has been shown to have a significant effect on development of liberibacter species associated with citrus Huanglongbing disease. ‘Candidatus Liberibacter africanus’ and ‘Ca. L. americanus’ are both heat sensitive, whereas ‘Ca. L. asiaticus’ is heat tolerant. The recently described ‘Ca. L.
