A NOTODONTID NOVELTY: THEROA ZETHUS CATERPILLARS USE BEHAVIOR AND ANTI-PREDATOR WEAPONRY TO DISARM HOST PLANTS.

A notodontid novelty: Theroa zethus caterpillars use behavior and anti-predator weaponry to disarm host plants.

Unlike most notodontids, Theroa zethus larvae feed on plants that emit copious latex when damaged.To determine how the larvae overcome this defense, we filmed final instars on poinsettia, Euphorbia pulcherrima, then simulated their behaviors and tested how the behaviors individually and combined affect latex exudation.Larvae initially scraped the s

Microanalysis of Organic Pigments in Ancient Textiles by Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering on Agar Gel Matrices

We review some new methods based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) for the nondestructive/minimally invasive identification of organic colorants in objects whose value or function precludes sampling, such as historic and archeological textiles, paintings, and drawing.We discuss in detail Joggers the methodology we developed for the select

Toxoplasma gondii rhoptry discharge factor 3 is essential for invasion and microtubule-associated vesicle biogenesis.

Rhoptries are specialized secretory organelles conserved across the Apicomplexa phylum, essential for host cell invasion and critical for subverting of host cellular and immune functions.They contain proteins and membranous materials injected directly into the host cells, participating in parasitophorous vacuole formation.Toxoplasma gondii Hoodies/

Randomized Controlled Trial of Durotomy as an Adjunct to Routine Decompressive Surgery for Dogs With Severe Acute Spinal Cord Injury

Although many interventions for acute spinal cord injury (SCI) appear promising in experimental models, translation directly from experimental animals to human patients is a large step that can be problematic.Acute SCI occurs frequently in companion dogs and may provide a model to ease translation.Recently, incision of the dura has been highlighted
