Bio‐inspired nanophotonics: Structural color, chirality, and resonance metasurfaces
InfoMat, EarlyView.A butterfly‐wing‐inspired anisotropic plasmonic flatband resonant metasurface. Insets, photo of the butterfly, Sasakia charonda, and the SEM image of its wing scale (above); the SEM image of the metasurface (below). Abstract The dazzling colors of butterfly wings and hummingbird feathers are not painted with pigments, but crafted by nature's invisible ...

Community composition mediates interannual shifts in pollinators' roles within networks
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Plant–pollinator networks are complex structures that describe interactions between plants and pollinators within ecological communities. Understanding how these networks are organized is crucial for the preservation of populations, communities, and ecosystem services, because network structure is linked to the function and resilience of communities ...

If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Seed dispersal by frugivores is a central process linking plant reproduction, animal foraging, population persistence, and ecosystem resilience. Currently, the spatial template sustaining these interactions is rapidly reconfigured by habitat loss and fragmentation promoted by human activity.

Greater future range expansions in alien than native ant species
Oikos, EarlyView.There is growing concern that many species may not be able to track suitable conditions under climate change and suffer range contractions as a result. At the same time, alien species introduced to novel geographic ranges are often assumed to benefit from climate change.
