    Abstract An angiomatous nasal polyp is a rare subtype of sinonasal polyp that is commonly found in the middle meatus and characterized by the presence of blood vessels within polyp tissue. It is a benign lesion but is prone to misdiagnosis as a malignant tumor because it typically grows larger and is more vascular than other types of polyps. In this report, a 16-year-old male with no significant past medical history presents with a six-month history of epistaxis and progressive nasal obstruction. Examination of the oral cavity showed a centrally located soft palate mass. CT maxillofacial with contrast showed a hypervascular 3.4 x 4.7 x 6.1 cm mass in the nasal cavity extending through the nasal choanae and down to the level of the tongue. MRI showed a heterogenous polypoid mass originating from the left middle meatus vs. nasal cavity, with characteristics favoring an aggressive tumor. The patient was taken for interventional radiology (IR) embolization and nasal endoscopy. Biopsy showed the left nasal mass contained granulation tissue and the palatal mass consisted of necrotic tissue. He was taken for second-stage endoscopic sinus surgery with plans for extensive reconstruction if necessary. Extensive polyposis was found without gross evidence of an aggressive tumor. The anterior polyposis was debulked and the polyp was cut at its root to allow for removal of the nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal portion through the mouth. He was able to be discharged on the same day and his postoperative recovery was uncomplicated. Angiomatous nasal polyps are uncommon, share features of aggressive tumors on imaging, and require angiography and biopsy to safely rule out malignancy. Endoscopic surgical resection typically results in good outcomes and low recurrence rates.

    Abstract The phytoseiid Proprioseiopsis mexicanus has been collected from a wide range of plants in the western hemisphere, including many cucurbit agroecosystems in South Carolina, USA. Our aim was to characterize the lifestyle of P. mexicanus and its potential as a natural enemy of Tetranychus urticae, a common pest in cucurbits. We determined developmental time, pre-oviposition time, and fecundity of females on pollen-only diets from a commercial Typha spp. supplement source, Citrullus lanatus, Cucurbita maxima, Cucurbita moschata, Cucurbita pepo, Delosperma cooperi, Trifolium incarnatum, and on T. urticae and a combination of T. urticae and Typha spp. pollen. Female development time differed based on diet-development was fastest on C. lanatus and D. cooperi diets (ca. 3 days) and slowest on Typha pollen diet (ca. 5 days). Pre-oviposition time was shorter for females fed C. lanatus and T. incarnatum (1.6 days) and longest when fed Typha pollen (3.1 days). Citrullus lanatus, T. incarnatum, and D. cooperi pollen diets resulted in more eggs/day compared to other diets. Cucurbita moschata pollen resulted in the lowest oviposition rate (0.69 eggs/day). Because these pollens varied in size, we examined pollen size as a factor in developmental and reproductive success. With the exception of Typha pollen, small-pollen diets (C. lanatus, D. cooperi, and T. incarnatum) resulted in faster development, shorter pre-oviposition time, and higher fecundity than large-pollen diets (Cucurbita spp.). We concluded that P. mexicanus is a generalist predator that may require pollen for survival and reproduction, but alone this species may not be an effective predator of T. urticae.

    Abstract Tritrophic relationships involving tarsonemids and predatory phytoseiids are common in a variety of agroecosystems, but due to the wide range of diets in both families, it is necessary to understand what food resources they are consuming to determine potential impact on crops. We investigated a frequent association of cucurbit powdery mildew (Podosphaera xanthii), Tarsonemus bilobatus, and Proprioseiopsis mexicanus in watermelon and pumpkin fields to determine whether P. mexicanus is consuming either or both of the other organisms. We also examined developmental and reproductive capability of P. mexicanus on these diets. If P. mexicanus is an effective predator of T. bilobatus, it may also be useful in controlling pest tarsonemids, such as broad mites. Proprioseiopsis mexicanus either starved or escaped from arenas rather than consume P. xanthii. When consuming T. bilobatus, P. mexicanus females developed from larva to adult in ca. 3 days. On this diet, the preoviposition period was ca. 2 days and P. mexicanus laid 1.7 eggs/day. These results are comparable to some of the higher-quality non-prey resources investigated in the literature. Starved female P. mexicanus consumed 6.5 T. bilobatus of mixed stages in 1 h. This study provides support for further research into the importance of non-pest tarsonemids as a resource to maintain the presence of generalist predatory mites as an early-intervention natural enemy. Further work should examine the efficacy of P. mexicanus as a natural enemy of economically important pest tarsonemids.

    Abstract We explore how animal host traits, phylogenetic identity and cell receptor sequences relate to infection status and mortality from ebolaviruses. We gathered exhaustive databases of mortality from Ebolavirus after exposure and infection status based on PCR and antibody tests. We performed ridge regressions predicting mortality and infection as a function of traits, phylogenetic eigenvectors and separately host receptor sequences. We found that mortality from Ebolavirus had a strong association to life history characteristics and phylogeny. In contrast, infection status related not just to life history and phylogeny, but also to fruit consumption which suggests that geographic overlap of frugivorous mammals can lead to spread of virus in the wild. Niemann Pick C1 (NPC1) receptor sequences predicted infection statuses of bats included in our study with very high accuracy, suggesting that characterizing NPC1 in additional species is a promising avenue for future work. We combine the predictions from our mortality and infection status models to differentiate between species that are infected and also die from Ebolavirus versus species that are infected but tolerate the virus (possible reservoirs of Ebolavirus). We therefore present the first comprehensive estimates of Ebolavirus reservoir statuses for all known terrestrial mammals in Africa.

    Abstract Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated as mediators of pancreatic β-cell damage. While β-cells are thought to be vulnerable to oxidative damage, we have shown, using inhibitors and acute depletion, that thioredoxin reductase, thioredoxin, and peroxiredoxins are the primary mediators of antioxidant defense in β-cells. However, the role of this antioxidant cycle in maintaining redox homeostasis and β-cell survival

    Abstract The order Carnivora includes over 300 species that vary many orders of magnitude in size and inhabit all major biomes, from tropical rainforests to polar seas. The high diversity of carnivore parasites represents a source of potential emerging diseases of humans. Zoonotic risk from this group may be driven in part by exceptionally high functional diversity of host species in behavioral, physiological, and ecological traits. We review global macroecological patterns of zoonotic parasites within carnivores, and explore the traits of species that serve as hosts of zoonotic parasites. We synthesize theoretical and empirical research and suggest future work on the roles of carnivores as biotic multipliers, regulators, and sentinels of zoonotic disease as timely research frontiers.

    Abstract Energy derived from food is a precious resource to animals. Those finite calories are often well-earned through exhaustive foraging effort, which can dominate waking hours, to support physiological processes (e.g. body maintenance and growth) and ecological necessities (e.g. predator avoidance and courting) that are pertinent to the production of progeny. So, it is unsurprising to find that animals have evolved strategies to guard against the gratuitous waste of hard-won caloric energy. Yet, it remains surprising to find such diversity, and elegant creativity, in those solutions. Brief examples of energy-saving innovation could include the very shape of animals and how they move, from streamlined swimming sharks to skyward-soaring seabirds; or the evolutionary appearance of various states of dormancy, such as endothermic animals sacrificing high body temperature through modest (torpor) or severe (hibernation) curtailments to metabolic heat production. Another reversibly dormant state with energetic benefits is sleep.
