Abstract:
... Oarfish are rarely seen and seldom studied, which makes their parasite fauna even more enigmatic. Necropsy of 12 oarfish, Regalecus russelii (Regalecidae) (Cuvier, 1816), from Japan yielded 2 species of acanthocephalans. One species was found in 2 oarfish and a total of 76 specimens was collected, but only a single, immature specimen of the second species was found. The former represents an undesc ...

Abstract:
... A role for sexual selection in the evolution of insect cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) is suggested by observations of selection acting on male CHCs during female mate choice. However, evidence that CHCs evolve in response to sexual selection is generally lacking, and there is a need to extend our understanding beyond well‐studied taxa. Experimental evolution offers a powerful approach to investigat ...

TPA may mainly come from direct intakes: however, data are inconsistent due to its very low amount in foods. Instead, TPA might arise from dietary trans-vaccenic acid (trans-C18:1 n-7, TVA), which is more abundant in foods. TVA chain-shortening woul ...

Abstract:
... By preferring mates with increasingly costly ornaments or courtship displays, females cause an escalation of male reproductive costs. Such increased costs should promote male selectivity based on fecundity‐linked female attributes, leading to female ornamentation in species with traditional sex roles. Consequently, female ornamentation should evolve more frequently in taxa where male reproduction ...

Abstract:
... An analytical method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of alpha, beta and gamma-hydroxybutyric acids (AHB, BHB and GHB, respectively) in human hair. Hair samples (10 mg) were pulverized and submitted to extraction using methanol (1 mL) for 10 min. The extract was centrifuged, filtered, and evaporated to dryness at 40 °C under a gentle N₂ flow, dissolved in ethyl acetat ...

Abstract:
... Spotted-wing Drosophila, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura, 1931), is an economic pest of thin-skinned fruit crops. Its control has commonly been carried out through chemical methods. However, given the need to develop safer and environmentally friendly management alternatives, the pupal endoparasitoid Trichopria anastrephae Lima stands out as a potential biological control agent. However, the lack of ...

Abstract:
... Blowflies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) are necrophagous flies with ecological, medical, veterinary, and forensic importance. These flies carry pathogens that they spread to animals and humans, and produce myiasis. Furthermore, they are useful tools in forensic science as indicators of postmortem intervals, and in biomedicine they are successfully used in larval therapy. This study aimed to assess the ...

The effects of single and mixed infections with Beauveria bassiana (EABb 90/2-Dm) and Metarhizium acridum (IMI 330189) strains on survival, feeding and reproduction of thermoregulating Dociostaurus maroccanus were evaluated. Adult locusts (2–3 days post fledging) were treated with low dosages of both fungal pathogens alone and in mixture (total dosage for single treatments and combinations = 1 × 1 ...

Abstract:
... Primates appear unusual among mammals in the expression of female colorful ornaments in the absence of sex role reversal. Most studies of female ornamentation in primates have focused on the sexual signaling function of female exaggerated ano-genital swellings in female-female competition and male attraction, but other female colorful ornaments, such as red skin coloration, may also contain inform ...

However, it is unknown whether inflammatory challenge during the infantile period may have permanent sexually-dimorphic effects on microglia and astrocytes in vivo, which in turn may be associated with sex differences in adult behavior. In this study, we ha ...

Abstract:
... Elevated serum uric acid (HUA) levels have been shown to have a positive correlation with metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk factors. In countries where rates of MetS continue to increase, such as Mexico, it is important to identify reliable and inexpensive markers that will aid in predicting the development of MetS. Our aim was to evaluate the association between serum uric acid (UA) and MetS risk fa ...
