The aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) is best known for its unique acoustic-based foraging behavior called 'tap-scanning' or 'percussive foraging'. The tap-scanning is a unique behavior allowing aye-aye to locate small cavities beneath tree bark...
A major challenge in cell and developmental biology is the automated identification and quantitation of cells in complex multilayered tissues. We developed CytoCensus: an easily deployed implementation of supervised machine learning that extends conv...
The utilization of entomological specimens such as larvae (maggots) for the estimation of time since oviposition (i.e., egg laying) for post mortem interval determination, or for estimation of time since tissue infestation (in investigations of elder...
Genes to cells : devoted to molecular & cellular mechanisms

Dendrites of neurons receive and process synaptic or sensory inputs. The Drosophila class IV dendritic arborization (da) neuron is an established model system to explore molecular mechanisms of dendrite morphogenesis. The total number of dendritic br...
Haemonchus contortus constitutes a severe problem for ruminant's production, it is the most frequent nematode parasite both in template and tropical regions, induces economical losses, and shows increasing resistance to currently available anthelmint...
Technologies for mapping the spatial and temporal patterns of neural activity have advanced our understanding of brain function in both health and disease. An important application of these technologies is the discovery of next-generation neurotherap...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the lethal effect of a methanolic extract (ME) from fruits against eggs and infective larvae. The anthelmintic activity was assessed using the egg hatching inhibition assay (EHI) and the mortality test. The ME...
Planktonic sea-urchin larvae actively ingest polyethylene microplastics (MP) that accumulate in the larval stomach and can be distinguished from natural food using polarized light microscopy. MP filtering rates were similar to those of natural partic...
The majority of insect species have a clearly defined larval stage during development. Larval nutrition is crucial for individuals' growth and development, and larval foraging success often depends on both resource availability and competition for th...
Species determination of the various life stages of flies (Order: Diptera) is challenging, particularly for the immature forms, because analogous life stages of different species are difficult to differentiate based on morphological features alone. I...
