Urbanization Shifts Immunometabolism in a Common Bumblebee.

The growing urbanization process is accompanied by the emergence of new habitats for wildlife, and cities are sometimes seen as refuges for pollinators such as wild bees compared to intensively cultivated rural habitats. However, the contrasting living conditions that combine high fragmentation, exposure to pollutants, and heat island effects, with low pesticide use and potentially high availability of resources, make it difficult to predict the overall effect of urban living on the health of wild bees. Moreover, if the responses of wild bee populations in terms of species richness and diversity have been the focus of many recent studies, individual responses to urbanization have been more rarely investigated.

Case Report: A Rare Location of Recurrent Ameloblastoma.

This case report contributes to understanding the complexities of ameloblastoma recurrence despite meeting recommended guidelines and highlights the importance of long-term follow-up and tailored surgical approaches.

Microaggressions in European versus American Workplace Environments of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery.

Objective: To compare the workplace experience of European and U.S. members of the otolaryngology community.

Education and digital inequalities during COVID-19 confinement: From the perspective of teachers in the French speaking Community of Belgium.

To curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal government and the federated entities of Belgium suspended all face-to-face learning starting 14 March, 2020. A continuity of learning was to be ensured by teachers through distance-learning. However, teaching during the confinement period was complicated for teachers: the respect for policies and rules differs from one teacher to another and there has been a lack of follow-up on online learning for some learners.

Additions to the cuckoo wasps (Hymenoptera, Chrysididae) of Mongolia, with description of eleven new species.

An addendum to the recent checklist of the Chrysididae from Mongolia is given. Examination of old museum material and recently collected specimens has led to the discovery of eight new records for the country and eleven new species for science. Eight species are newly recorded from Mongolia: Linsenmaier, 1959, du Buysson, 1900, Radoszkowski, 1877, (Fabricius, 1787), (Lepeletier, 1806), Mocsáry, 1889, (Dahlbom, 1854) and Rosa, 2017.

Contribution to the knowledge of the bumblebee fauna of Afghanistan (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Latreille).

Bumblebees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: genus Latreille, 1802) constitute an important group of pollinators for many wild plants and crops in north temperate regions and South America. Although knowledge of these insects has been increasing over the last decades, some geographic areas remain poorly studied and additions to the knowledge of their faunas are infrequent. Afghanistan is one example of a country that is currently underrepresented in the scientific literature despite its high species diversity.

Unilateral chronic maxillary rhinosinusitis after bone maxillary graft for dental implant placement: A case report.

Odontogenic chronic maxillary rhinosinusitis has to be suspected in patient with a history of dental implant placement just after bone maxillary graft.

The wild bees (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) of the island of Cyprus.

Cyprus, the third largest island in the Mediterranean, constitutes a biodiversity hotspot with high rates of plant endemism. The wild bees of the island were studied extensively by the native George Mavromoustakis, a world-renowned bee taxonomist, who collected extensively on the island from 1916 to 1957 and summarised his results in a series of eight Cyprus-specific papers published from 1949 ["1948"] to 1957. The current work represents the first modern checklist of the wild bees of Cyprus, based on a compilation of previous publications, museum specimens and authors' recent collections.

Generalized host-plant feeding can hide sterol-specialized foraging behaviors in bee-plant interactions.

Host-plant selection is a key factor driving the ecology and evolution of insects. While the majority of phytophagous insects is highly host specific, generalist behavior is quite widespread among bees and presumably involves physiological adaptations that remain largely unexplored. However, floral visitation patterns suggest that generalist bees do not forage randomly on all available resources.

An unusual cause of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

The histopathologic examination is important after tonsillectomy, irrespective to the surgical indication.
