Parasites of two populations of Psalidodon bifasciatus (Characiformes): Enemy release suggesting introduction of hosts in Neotropical streams | Journal of Helminthology | Cambridge Core Parasites of two populations of Psalidodon bifasciatus (Characiformes): Enemy release suggesting introduction of hosts in Neotropical streams - Volume 100

What happens when a 🐠 moves to a new neighbourhood? It leaves its parasites behind! ✌️🐛

Our paper on Psalidodon bifasciatus shows how "enemy release" (having fewer parasites) suggests human-mediated introduction in a 🇧🇷 basin. doi.org/10.1017/S002...

Nahaufnahme eines Feuersalamanders mit auffälligem gelb-schwarzem Muster auf grünem Gras. Der Text informiert über eine Studie der Universität Bielefeld, die zeigt, dass männliche Tiere mehr Gelbanteil als weibliche haben.

Zwei Feuersalamander mit Geschlechtersymbolen (♂ und ♀) vor dunklem Hintergrund. Der männliche Salamander zeigt deutlich mehr Gelbfärbung, besonders am Kopf. Der Text erklärt die Warnfunktion der Farbe und die geschlechtsspezifischen Unterschiede.

Feuersalamander mit gelb-schwarzem Muster auf einem Holzstück, vor unscharfem Naturhintergrund. Der Text stellt Fragen zur Bedeutung der Farbgebung für Partnerwahl, Tarnung und Fressfeinde und betont den Forschungsbedarf.

Der BUND Sachsen untersucht systematisch die Vorkommen von Feuersalamandern in sächsischen Mittelgebirgen. Die Untersuchungsergebnisse aus den Jahren 2021 - 2024 sind auch in die Studie der Forschungsgruppe der Uni Bielefeld eingeflossen.

Immune checkpoint TIM-3 regulates microglia and Alzheimer’s disease - Nature The immune-checkpoint molecule TIM-3 regulates microglial homeostasis, and its microglial-specific deletion reduced cognitive impairment in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease.

Disabling the TIM-3 protein in brain immune cells enhances their ability to clear Alzheimer’s-related plaques, improves cognition in mice, and suggests a promising therapeutic target.
