Gallophilous theory of cyclical parthenogenesis in aphids (Homoptera, Aphidinea).

The paper elaborates theoretical basis of the origin of aphid cyclical parthenogenesis in view of the original life of these insects in strobiloid galls on spp. The period of gall opening is greatly extended in time, which prevents normal panmixia and creates a selective advantage for parthenogenetic reproduction. Migration of aphids to secondary host plants, on which closed galls never form, parthenogenetic reproduction on these plants, and the subsequent simultaneous return of "remigrants" to the main host plant make it possible to synchronize the development of the bisexual generation and achieve mass panmixia at the end of the life cycle only; it coincides with the end of summer growth shoots or the autumn end of the vegetation period as a whole.

Description of a new species of Speiser , 1905 (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) from Southern Vietnam with the updated key to the subgenus .

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.

Amyloid Fibrils of the s36 Protein Modulate the Morphogenesis of Eggshell.

is the oldest classic model object in developmental genetics. It may seem that various structures of the fruit fly at all developmental stages have been well studied and described. However, recently we have shown that some specialized structures of the eggshell contain an amyloid fibril network.

Leveraging Femtosecond Laser Ablation for Tunable Near-Infrared Optical Properties in MoS-Gold Nanocomposites.

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), particularly molybdenum disulfide (MoS), have gained significant attention in the field of optoelectronics and photonics due to their unique electronic and optical properties. The integration of TMDCs with plasmonic materials allows to tailor the optical response and offers significant advantages for photonic applications. This study presents a novel approach to synthesize MoS-Au nanocomposites utilizing femtosecond laser ablation in liquid to achieve tunable optical properties in the near-infrared (NIR) region.

Lead Catalyzed GaAs Nanowires Grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy.

This study investigates the growth of gallium arsenide nanowires, using lead as a catalyst. Typically, nanowires are grown through the vapor-solid-liquid mechanism, where a key factor is the reduction in the nucleation barrier beneath the catalyst droplet. Arsenic exhibits limited solubility in conventional catalysts; however, this research explores an alternative scenario in which lead serves as a solvent for arsenic, while gallium and lead are immiscible liquids.

Time-resolved fluorescence of ANS dye as a sensor of proteins LLPS.

The explosive growth in the number of works addressing the phase separation of intrinsically disordered proteins has driven both the development of new approaches and the optimization of existing methods for biomolecular condensate visualization. In this work, we studied the potential use of the fluorescent dye ANS as a sensor for liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), focusing on visualizing condensates formed by the stress-granules scaffold protein G3BP1. Using fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM), we demonstrated that ANS can accumulate in RNA-induced G3BP1 condensates in aqueous solutions, but not in G3BP1 condensates formed under macromolecular crowding conditions in highly concentrated PEG solutions.
