Coordinated movements of multiple pied‐billed grebes in association with an American alligator

Ecosphere
Interspecific associations can arise when one species benefits from the presence or behavior of another, often during foraging. Here, we describe a previously undocumented behavioral interaction between pied‐billed grebes (Podilymbus podiceps) and an ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

Effects of Incubation and Rearing Temperatures on Caiman latirostris Growth [PDF]

, 2010
Different studies found that incubation temperature has an influence on the size of Caiman latirostris hatchlings and determines their gonadal sex. Experimental manipulations revealed that the effects of temperature on growth are independent of sex ...

Recent Progress on Fullerene–Based Functional Materials for Energy Conversion

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
A schematic illustration summarizing the classification, and photo‐/electro‐‐/thermo‐catalysis and energy storage applications of C60 and derivatives. ABSTRACT Efficient energy conversion and environmental protection are still constrained by rapid carrier recombination, unstable interfaces, limited active site, and so on. Owing to the unique electronic

Machine Learning Paradigm for Advanced Battery Electrolyte Development

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Electrolyte materials determine ion transport kinetics within the bulk and interphases, ultimately influencing the performance of battery systems. As data‐driven paradigms increasingly reshape materials discovery, this review provides an application‐oriented exploration of the intersection between machine learning and electrolyte science. By evaluating

Pulmonary development in Squamata: Insights from embryonic studies using micro‐CT

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Pulmonary development in tetrapods is a complex process, especially within squamates, where single‐chambered, transitional, and multi‐chambered lungs can be found in adult animals. While the embryological development of the respiratory system of lizards and snakes was studied in a number of species between the 1830s and 1940s, the ...

Expression of mutant TIE2 p.L914F during mouse development causes embryonic lethality and defects in vascular remodeling

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sporadic venous malformation (VM) is associated with the hyperactivating p.L914F mutation in TIE2, a receptor tyrosine kinase essential for vascular development. This mutation is not found in hereditary VM, suggesting incompatibility with life when expressed during early vascular development.

Using local ecological knowledge to identify land-use threats to the last wild population of the Chinese alligator Alligator sinensis

Oryx
Conservation management in human-modified landscapes requires information on the sustainability of interactions between people and biodiversity. Wild Chinese alligators Alligator sinensis only persist within the National Chinese Alligator Reserve in ...

Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...
