The bark beetle Dendroctonus mesoamericanus sp. nov. is described from a population in Parque Nacional Lagunas de Montebello, La Trinitaria, Chiapas, Mexico. This species belongs to the D. frontalis complex, which includes D. adjunctus Blandford 1897, D. approximatus Dietz 1890, D. brevicomis LeConte 1876, D. frontalis Zimmermann 1868, D. mexicanus Hopkins 1905, and D. vitei Wood 1975. The new ...

Local outbreak risk for the southern pine beetle, Dendroctonus frontalis Zimmermann (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is forecast with a trapping survey conducted every spring throughout the southeastern United States. Traps baited with pine odors and components of the D. frontalis aggregation pheromone are used to obtain abundance estimates of both this species and its clerid predator Thanasimus du...

Figure 1. Preoperative photograph demonstrating severe ptosis on the right lid with levator function less than 5 mm (measured by blocking the action of the frontalis muscle). The patient is contracting his right frontalis muscle to keep his right eyelid open. Normal levator function is 11 mm.

This study aimed to assess the genetic relationship of Vietnamese gaurs from Central Highland and other Southeast Asia India. The results showed that 15 polymorphic sites were found in 16S sequences between these gaurs. exhibited identical SNPs with Cambodian gaur, while exposed 7 Malayan gaur. distance analysis demonstrated gaur lowest Bos frontalis (0.0086±0.0022) gaurus (0.0182±0.0054). Phyl...

The relative abundance and nature of associations between symbiotic species can be affected by abiotic conditions with consequences for population dynamics. We investigated the effects of temperature on the community of mites and fungi associated with the southern pine beetle, Dendroctonus frontalis, an important pest of pine forests in the southern United States. First, we determined whether t...

Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) has been reported as an effective treatment for chronic migraine. When BoNT-A is injected on the frontalis muscle for chronic migraine, an unexpected clinical side effect called the "Mephisto sign" may occur. The aim of this article is to propose a method to eliminate or prevent the Mephisto sign side effect. A 25-year-old female patient visited the hospital and ...

Unilateral blepharoptosis with poor or no levator action can be corrected properly only by suspending the eyelid from the brow or frontalis muscle. This method lifts the eyelid adequately but often results in undesirable asymmetry, since the brow-frontalis lift on one side is so different from the levator lift on the other. Beard offered one solution. He cut the normal palpebral levator muscle ...
