AI Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the Cerambycidae beetle species in the Aegean Region of Türkiye, detailing both their classification and presence.
- It presents 22 species, including six new records for the area and describes a new species named Stenurella afyoncayensis.
- The research includes comparisons with past findings, morphological details of male aedeagus and spermathecae, and discusses potential impacts of climate change on species diversity.
Article Abstract
In the present study, which is part of a research project examining the Cerambycidae fauna of the Aegean Region of Türkiye (including the provinces of Afyonkarahisar, Aydın, Denizli, İzmir, Kütahya, Manisa, Muğla, Uşak, and southern Balıkesir), Lepturini species (Lepturinae: Cerambycidae) are discussed in both faunistic and systematic terms. A total of 22 species are presented, six of which are new records for the Aegean Region. Additionally, a new species, Stenurella afyoncayensis sp. nov., is described from Afyonkarahisar province. The description of the new species, including photographs of its habitus and genitalia, as well as a differential diagnosis, is provided. Previous records from the study area are compared with and evaluated against our findings. The morphological structures of seven male aedeagus and three spermathecae are described, and detailed drawings are presented for the first time. Furthermore, species identified in previous studies are compared with the current fauna, and a discussion is included regarding whether species not found in the current study may have been affected by climate change.

Background/objectives: Home isolation measures during the COVID-19 lockdown periods may have influenced individuals' lifestyles. The COVEAT study aimed to identify differences in children's and their parents' dietary behavior, children's body weight and parental body mass index (BMI) between two lockdown periods implemented in Greece.
Methods: In total, 61 participants (children 2-18 years and their parents) completed questionnaires about their lifestyle, body weight and height, and family socio-demographic data, during both lockdown periods (LDs) implemented in Greece (LD1 in March-May 2020; LD2 in December 2020-January 2021).
A Dual Filter Based on Radial Basis Function Neural Networks and Kalman Filters with Application to Numerical Wave Prediction Models.
Sensors (Basel)

Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of West Attica, Ancient Olive Grove Campus, 250, Thivon Ave., Egaleo, 12241 Athens, Greece.
The aim of this study is to introduce and evaluate a dual filter that combines Radial Basis Function neural networks and Kalman filters to enhance the accuracy of numerical wave prediction models. Unlike the existing methods, which focus solely on systematic errors, the proposed framework concurrently targets both systematic and non-systematic parts of forecast errors, significantly reducing the bias and variability in significant wave height predictions. The produced filter is self-adaptive, identifying optimal Radial Basis Function network configurations through an automated process involving various network parameters tuning.

The Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly), (Wiedemann 1824; Diptera, Tephritidae), is considered one of the most important pests, infesting more than 300 species of fresh fruit and vegetables worldwide. The medfly is an important invasive species, which has spread from the eastern part of sub-Saharan Africa to all of the world's continents in recent centuries. Currently, the medfly is expanding its geographical range to cooler, temperate areas of the world, including northern areas of Mediterranean countries and continental areas of Central Europe.

Mast cell tumors (MCTs) are common skin neoplasms in dogs. Prognostic indicators include histologic grade, clinical stage, high Ki-67 index, elevated argyrophilic nucleolus organizer regions (AgNOR) index, mutations, and recurrence after surgery. Blood serum redox status has been shown to correlate with prognostic factors in canine lymphoma and mammary tumors.
