The genus Sinochlora Tinkham, 1945 is a diverse Phaneropterinae genus in the Oriental region. Previously, the genus included 16 species, distributed in East Asia region; most species are distributed in China. After examining numerous specimens of all known species of Sinochlora, we propose that the genus Sinochlora be divided into four species groups.

Background: Diabetic Foot (DF) is one of the most common complications of diabetes, and it is characterized by high morbidity, disability, lethality and low cure rate. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment has certain characteristics and advantages in diabetic foot. Due to selective reporting bias and heterogeneity of research results, on the one hand, relevant clinical studies are of low quality and poor practicability, and on the other hand, similar studies cannot be included in meta-analysis to form high-quality evidence-based evidence and evaluate the value of studies.

Bush-crickets (or katydids) of the genus Mecopoda are relatively large insects well-known for their sounds for centuries. Bioacoustic studies in India and China revealed a surprisingly large diversity of sound patterns. We extend these studies into the tropics of South East Asia using integrative taxonomy, combining song analysis, morphology of sound producing organs and male genitalia as well as chromosomes, to get a better understanding of the phylogeny and evolution of this widespread group.

Article Synopsis
  • The study introduces metasurfaces using orthogonal nano-slit pairs arranged in spiral patterns to create vector beams characterized by Bell-like states and slanted polarizations.
  • The design relies on theoretical conditions that link three key parameters: rotation order, spiral order, and the helicity of incoming polarization to successfully manipulate vector vortex modes.
  • Experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the design, showing high-quality vector beams consistent with both analytical and simulated predictions.
