The Resilience of the Phonological Network May Have Implications for Developmental and Acquired Disorders
(MDPI, 2023-01-23)A central tenet of network science states that the structure of the network influences processing. In this study of a phonological network of English words we asked: how does damage alter the network structure (Study 1)? ... -
Localization of Multiple Jellyfish Toxins Shows Specificity for Functionally Distinct Polyps and Nematocyst Types in a Colonial Hydrozoan
(MDPI, 2023-02-13)Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus is a colonial hydrozoan that displays a division of labor through morphologically distinct and functionally specialized polyp types. As with all cnidarians, their venoms are housed in nematocysts, ... -
Water-Responsive Self-Repairing Superomniphobic Surfaces via Regeneration of Hierarchical Topography
(American Chemical Society, 2021-10-13)Superomniphobic surfaces that can self-repair physical damage are desirable for sustainable performance over time in many practical applications that include self-cleaning, corrosion resistance, and protective gears. ... -
Current and next-generation formulation strategies for inactivated polio vaccines to lower costs, increase coverage, and facilitate polio eradication
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2022-12-28)Implementation of inactivated polio vaccines (IPV) containing Sabin strains (sIPV) will further enable global polio eradication efforts by improving vaccine safety during use and containment during manufacturing. Moreover, ... -
Revision of the water scavenger beetle genus Notionotus Spangler, 1972 in the Neotropical Region (Coleoptera, Hydrophilidae, Enochrinae)
(Pensoft Publishers, 2022-07-01)The Neotropical species of the water scavenger beetle genus Notionotus Spangler, 1972 are revised using an integrative taxonomic approach combining morphology with DNA sequence data from two genes. Support exists for four ... -
A braconid wasp (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) from the Lower Cretaceous amber of San Just, eastern Iberian Peninsula
(Pensoft Publishers, 2022-05-30)Braconid parasitoid wasps are a widely diversified group today, while their fossil record from the Mesozoic is currently poorly known. Here, we describe Utrillabracon electropteron Álvarez-Parra & Engel, gen. et sp. nov., ... -
The Influence of Climate on Flourishing and Motivational Outcomes for U.S. Masters Swimmers
(MDPI, 2023-01-21)The climate in which older adults exercise and participate in sport may play a role in promoting a lifetime commitment to exercising. However, little research has examined the relationship of caring (C) and task-involving ... -
Inhibitors of One or More Cellular Aurora Kinases Impair the Replication of Herpes Simplex Virus 1 and Other DNA and RNA Viruses with Diverse Genomes and Life Cycles
(American Society for Microbiology, 2022-12-20)We utilized a high-throughput cell-based assay to screen several chemical libraries for inhibitors of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) gene expression. From this screen, four aurora kinase inhibitors were identified that ... -
Hyper-palatable foods in elementary school lunches: Availability and contributing factors in a national sample of US public schools
(Public Library of Science, 2023-02-16)Background School cafeterias are a major point of influence for child nutrition. United States federal legislation requires the presence of important nutrients in school meals. However, legislation overlooks the potential ... -
Excitation-inhibition imbalance disrupts visual familiarity in amyloid and non-pathology conditions
(Cell Press, 2023-01-31)Neuronal hyperactivity induces memory deficits in Alzheimer’s disease. However, how hyperactivity disrupts memory is unclear. Using in vivo synaptic imaging in the mouse visual cortex, we show that structural excitatory-inhibitory ... -
The end of the line: competitive exclusion and the extinction of historical entities
(The Royal Society, 2023-02-22)Identifying competitive exclusion at the macroevolutionary scale has typically relied on demonstrating a reciprocal, contradictory response by two co-occurring, functionally similar clades. Finding definitive examples of ... -
Off-target piRNA gene silencing in Drosophila melanogaster rescued by a transposable element insertion
(Public Library of Science, 2023-02-21)Transposable elements (TE) are selfish genetic elements that can cause harmful mutations. In Drosophila, it has been estimated that half of all spontaneous visible marker phenotypes are mutations caused by TE insertions. ... -

The oldest known bat skeletons and their implications for Eocene chiropteran diversification
(Public Library of Science, 2023-04-12)The Fossil Lake deposits of the Green River Formation of Wyoming, a remarkable early Eocene Lagerstätte (51.98 ±0.35 Ma), have produced nearly 30 bat fossils over the last 50 years. However, diversity has thus far been ... -
Broad-scale factors shaping the ecological niche and geographic distribution of Spirodela polyrhiza
(Public Library of Science, 2023-05-04)The choice of appropriate independent variables to create models characterizing ecological niches of species is of critical importance in distributional ecology. This set of dimensions in which a niche is defined can inform ... -
Using the factors of soil formation to assess stable carbon isotope disequilibrium in late Pleistocene (MIS 3) buried soils of the Great Plains, North America
(Elsevier, 2023-06-15)The stable carbon isotope composition of both soil organic matter (SOM) and pedogenic carbonate are widely used as paleoenvironmental proxies. This study utilizes δ13C analyses to reconstruct bioclimatic change from a ... -
Is hyper-selectivity a root of Asian American children's success?
(Elsevier, 2023-04-14)Asian immigrants' children, even those from lower-backgrounds, tend to acquire higher levels of education than other ethnoracial groups, including White natives. Asian culture is often cited as a conventional explanation. ... -
Delay discounting and substance use treatment outcomes: A systematic review focused on treatment outcomes and discounting methodology
