The family Hippoboscidae, commonly known as "louse flies," comprises pupiparous Diptera that are ectoparasites of birds and mammals, with significant impacts on their hosts and epidemiological importance. The louse fly fauna of Vietnam is relatively understudied compared to other countries in the Southeast Asia region. In this study, we describe a new species of the genus Speiser, 1905 (Diptera: Hippoboscidae), , collected from the lesser coucal (Gmelin, JF, 1788) in Cat Tien National Park, Vietnam.

- The text discusses a study on genomic diversity in the great tit (Parus major), focusing on how environmental factors and demographic history impact genetic variation across different populations in Europe.
- The research, which is one of the most extensive genomic surveys for a wild vertebrate, involved analyzing about 500,000 SNP markers from 647 individuals across 29 populations to understand patterns of genomic divergence.
- Findings revealed that genetic differentiation varied significantly among populations, influenced by factors like local recombination rates and natural selection, with reduced diversity noted in island populations and evidence of recent adaptive changes at the edges of the species' range.

Understanding the potential limits placed on organisms by their ecophysiology is crucial for predicting their responses to varying environmental conditions. A main hypothesis for explaining avian thermoregulatory mechanisms is the aerobic capacity model, which posits a positive correlation between basal (basal metabolic rate [BMR]) and summit (M) metabolism. Most evidence for this hypothesis, however, comes from interspecific comparisons, and the ecophysiological underpinnings of avian thermoregulatory capacities hence remain controversial.

There are several hypotheses to explain species' energy allocation. One prominent hypothesis suggests higher energy expenditure in winter due to increased thermoregulatory costs.

Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis included 100 patients who underwent pneumonectomy with extended lymph node dissection for lung cancer. Patients were divided into 2 groups depending on postoperative complications: group 1 - bronchial stump failure, group 2 - no similar complications.
