Sugarcane weevil borer, Acrotomopus atropunctellus (Boheman) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) has been detected across all sugarcane planting areas in the Argentinian Northwest with increasing population densities. The monito...

The mechanisms behind phytoplankton diversity patterns in natural ecosystems still remain elusive. In two shallow lakes with contrasting river connectivity, we first explored how diversity within each sampling (alfa dive...

Background. High rates of hazardous and binge drinking patterns have been identified among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in South Africa. AGYW also bear the highest burden of HIV/AIDS in the country, placing th...

Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is characterized by recurrent infections due to impairments in antibody quantity and quality. As such, immunoglobulin G replacement therapy (IgGRT) is the standard-of-care (SOC) fo...

Despite the growing number of interventions aimed at reducing household food waste (HFW), many remain overly generalised and fail to adequately account for the heterogeneous routines, motivations, and disposal contexts t...

Abstract Topological protection ensures stability of information and particle transport against perturbations. We explore experimentally and computationally the topologically protected transport of magnetic colloids abov...

Abstract Cloaking is a method of making obstacles undetectable. Here we cloak unit cells of a magnetic pattern squeezed into an otherwise periodic pattern from a magnetically driven colloidal flow. We apply a time-period...

Hibernation and daily torpor are two distinct forms of torpor, and although they are related, it is not known how and in which sequence they evolved. As the pattern of torpor expressed by the oldest marsupial order the o...
