Summary: In caprellids, sexual dimorphism is characterized by larger males with weapons, and this study reveals the morphological changes associated with sexual differentiation during postembryonic development. The presence of head spines and penises distinguishes juveniles from larvae, and exaggerated traits in larger males are related to reproductive behavior. Size ratio between specific body structures can be used to identify sexually mature males, while the presence of marginal setae on oostegites determines female maturation.

Summary: The aim of this study was to compare macrophage populations in the craniofacial and extracranial skeleton and investigate the changes induced by Zol application and surgical interventions. The results showed that there were significantly more macrophages and a heightened pro-inflammatory environment in the jaw bones compared to the tibia. Tooth extraction increased the number of macrophages and worsened the inflammatory environment in the jaw bones, which was amplified by Zol application. The study suggests that targeting macrophages could be an attractive strategy to prevent MRONJ.

Summary: The major species of amphipods in bioflocs produced in shrimp ponds were identified as Bemlos quadrimanus sp. Juvenile B. quadrimanus had higher levels of protein and lipid contents than other stages, and their essential amino acid index and ratios of polyunsaturated fatty acid/saturated fatty acid and docosahexaenoic acid/eicosapentaenoic acid were similar to those in fishmeal. Bioflocs produced with corn flour enhanced juvenile growth and quantity, with the highest levels of crude protein and lipid.

Summary: Using RNA-seq, this study investigated the differential expression of miRNAs in dental, periodontal, and alveolar bone tissue of orthodontic tree shrews under tension. The results showed that miR-149 could modulate osteoblast differentiation under orthodontic mechanical tension through targeting ASAP3.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the post-establishment success of invasive Caprella scaura in Cadiz Bay, Spain and its connectivity with other world areas. By using mitochondrial markers, populations in Cadiz Bay were found to be connected with several European introduced populations, eastern USA, Sea of Japan, and Australia. There was no evidence to support a Brazilian origin of the populations in the Iberian Peninsula.

Summary: We investigated the relationship between the mandibular Curve of Spee (COS) and the persisting primary second mandibular molar (ppM2). Our study found that patients with ppM2 had the deepest COS, and there was a positive correlation between COS depth and angle-class II, age, and overbite. Gender did not show any difference in COS depth.

Summary: The burrowing adaptations of African mole-rats' appendicular systems were investigated to assess the effects of different digging modes and social systems on morphology. The study found that most mole-rats have highly specialized fossorial traits, with chisel-tooth diggers being equally or more specialized than scratch-diggers. However, one species (Heterocephalus glaber) presented a surprisingly less specialized fossorial morphology.

Summary: This study conducted a nationwide survey among dentists in Japan to investigate the reasons for tooth extraction. The results showed that caries and periodontal disease were still the main causes for tooth extraction in Japan, while fractures were found to account for a significant proportion of tooth extractions in individuals aged 45 and above.

Summary: This paper investigates the combustion mechanism of furan-based fuels synthesized from lignocellulose. The fuel is a binary alternative fuel composed of 2-methylfuran and 2,5-dimethylfuran derived from furfural. Key reactions affecting the combustion mechanism were identified and a genetic algorithm was used to optimize the initial reaction kinetic mechanism. The final mechanism accurately predicts the combustion process of this fuel based on experimental data.

Summary: The second plague pandemic had a significant impact on the gene pool of Trondheim, reducing long distance immigration and genetic diversity. However, caution is needed when analyzing genome data due to reference biases.

Summary: The study found that the age of patients having impacted lower third molars extracted was associated with sequelae on the adjacent second molar. It is suggested that extraction of impacted lower third molars should be done during the college/university age (19-22 years old) to minimize complications on the adjacent second molar.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of extracting the maxillary first premolars and mandibular second premolars on the posterior Bolton ratio. The results showed that after the extraction of the first premolars, there would be residual spacing between the mandibular first premolars and first molars.

Summary: The study reveals that increasing seawater temperature affects the growth rate of lancelets, with higher temperatures resulting in a faster growth rate. However, temperature changes do not alter the pattern of resource allocation between growth and reproduction that are in trade-off, while high temperatures solely increase resource intake.

Summary: In this study, fiddler crabs were found to produce a complex mating signal with three sequential wave types, some designed for signal efficacy and others for content. These signals function to draw female attention and assist in mate choice. Broadcast and directed waves are effective at alerting females to the presence and location of males, while courtship waves are equivalent to mate choice signals in other species.
