Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects
ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...

Sphaerotheca pashchima, a new species of burrowing frog (Anura: Dicroglossidae) from western India
Sphaerotheca pashchima, a new species of burrowing frog, is described from western India. It can be diagnosed from all its congeners based on a combination of characters including interorbital width less than upper eyelid width, snout to nostril distance

We developed a bio‐inspired artificial retina in which curved artificial receptive fields composed of perovskite photoconductors perform multiply‐and‐accumulate operations through in‐sensor computing. This architecture simultaneously realized the structural efficiency of human eyes (compact single‐lens imaging system) and functional advantages of ...

A Process‐Based Theory of Fishing
ABSTRACT The processes that lead to the capture of marine organisms in fishing gear are inherently complex, arising from interactions between the deployment of fishing effort, gear efficiency, and species‐specific demography and behaviour. A mechanistic understanding of these processes provides a principled basis for developing management approaches ...

First observation of facultative paedomorphosis in the Danube crested newt (Triturus dobrogicus Kiritzescu, 1903) and the occurrence of facultative paedomorphosis in two newt species from soda pans of the Danube-Tisza Interfluve (Kiskunság National Park, Hungary) [PDF]
The first observation of paedomorphosis in Triturus dobrogicus and the occurrence of facultative paedomorphosis in two newt species (T.dobrogicus and Lissotriton vulgaris) from soda pans of the Danube- Tisza Interfluve, Hungary are reported in this ...

Demonstration of melatonin in amphibia
The presence of melatonin in the amphibian epiphysis has been ascertained earlier by several indirect methods, demonstrating the synthesizing enzyme or precursors of the compound. This communication describes the presence of melatonin in amphibian brain in a direct way, using dextran gel chromatography as a separation method.
