Interface‐Directed Self‐Assembly of Thermoresponsive Block Copolymers for Tunable Interfacial Nanostructures

Small, EarlyView.
Surface pressure and temperature direct the assembly of P(NIPAM‐b‐AEMA) at the air‐water interface, transforming continuous films into tunable micellar nanodomains. The thermoresponsive P(NIPAM) block enables temperature‐controlled changes in domain size and order.

A Comprehensive Multimodal Study of La0.45Sr0.45TiO3 Structure as Matrix for the Exsolution Process: From the Average to the Local Scale

Small, EarlyView.
We present a multimodal, multiscale study of La0.45Sr0.45TiO3 combining experimental and computational approaches to probe its local structure. The results reveal A‐site ordering along [001] and loss of centrosymmetry driven by electrostatic effects.

Rotenone Induces Morphological Damage and Reduction in Catecholamine Levels in the Central Nervous System of the Ascidian Styela plicata

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ascidians are invertebrates that occupy a key phylogenetic position as a sister group of the vertebrates. The organization of their central nervous system (CNS), with cortex and medulla, indicates a plesiomorphic character of the gray and white matter of vertebrates, making this group of animals useful for studies of neurodegenerative events ...

The Wonder Years: A Demographic Approach to Revisit the Age‐at‐Size Conundrum in Amphibians

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We combined repeated body size measurements of marked individuals of unknown age throughout their adult life with growth records of individuals marked as postmetamorphic juveniles and recaptured years later as sexually mature adults, focusing on 10 amphibian species in central Spain.

Animal‐Mediated Dispersal and Clonal Growth Drive Prunus cerasus Invasion in Andean Temperate Forest

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Prunus cerasus reproduces by clonality and by seed dispersal and germination. P. cerasus is invading Patagonian protected areas. The relative relevance of germination and clonal reproduction changes along the time of P. cerasus arrival at a site. Seed dispersal by foxes is primarily responsible for the spread of P. cerasus to new areas.
