Since the inception of the field of evolution, mimicry has yielded insights into foundational evolutionary processes, including adaptive peak shifts, speciation, and the emergence and maintenance of phenotypic polymorphisms. In recent years, the coevolutionary processes generating mimicry have gained increasing attention from researchers. Despite significant advances in understanding Batesian and Müllerian mimicry in Lepidopteran systems, few other mimetic systems have received similar detailed research.

Article Synopsis
  • * Out of 7764 records reviewed, 100 models were included, primarily for diagnosis, with most showing high risk of bias and none currently implemented in clinical settings.
  • * The study found that models incorporating clinical predictors had better performance, suggesting future research should address the limitations and aim for practical applications in treatment and outcome prediction.

In a cooling system for radio astronomy receivers, maintaining cold heads and compressors is essential for consistent performance. This project focuses on monitoring the power currents of the cold head's motor to address potential mechanical deterioration, which could jeopardize the overall functionality of the system. Using Hall effect sensors, a microcontroller-based electronic board, and artificial intelligence, the system detects and predicts anomalies.

We describe and illustrate two new species from two previously monotypic genera Schultze, 1923 and Yoshitake, 2017 from Luzon Island, Philippines: , and serves as a new record for Luzon Island for which was only previously represented by Schultze, 1923 from Negros Island whereas serves as an additional record of in Mountain Province in Luzon Island. The discovery of these two new species from the Zoological Collections of the Philippine National Museum, collected in 1947 and 1985, respectively, highlights the value of natural history collections for the present and future generations of researchers.
