New species of lance lacewings, and , are described from the Philippines and compared with congeners. Both species are characterised by a distinctive wing pattern, which in the case of is relatively spectacular among lacewings. An identification key to the species of Kolbe known from the Philippines is also provided.

Recently, there has been growing attention paid to the Mozambican dung beetle fauna, including the description of several new species. In this paper, we revise the taxonomy of species recorded from Mozambique in the genus Diastellopalpus van Lansberge, 1886, including the description of Diastellopalpus scholtzi Daniel, Strümpher, Josso & Davis, new species. We also report a new country record for Diastellopalpus neavei (d'Orbigny, 1914).

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a bioceramic material widely used as a bone biomimetic substitute and can be synthesized by biomineralization, according to which HA nanoparticles are formed on a polymer template. Nevertheless, little is known about the effect of ion doping and biomineralization on cell metabolism, oxidative stress, and DNA damage. In the present contribution, we report on synthesizing and characterizing biomineralized chitosan as a polymer template with HA nanoparticles doped with magnesium (MgHA) and iron ions (FeHA).

Poleward and uphill range shifts are a common-but variable-response to climate change. We lack understanding regarding this interspecific variation; for example, functional traits show weak or mixed ability to predict range shifts. Characteristics of species' ranges may enhance prediction of range shifts.

Evaporation control is a critical facility resource during solidification experiments that limits processing time and must be tracked to ensure facility health. A thermodynamic analysis was performed on a ternary FeCrNi sample processed onboard the International Space Station (ISS) using ESA Electromagnetic Levitation (EML) facility in a microgravity environment. A non-ideal solution-based mathematical model was applied for the overall sample mass loss prediction during this study.

Parental age impacts offspring quantity and quality. Most prior research focused on maternal age. Since in most organisms the mother produces the costly eggs plus provides all or most parental care, it is difficult to distinguish maternal effects mediated via the egg from later maternal care.
