A Printed Zinc‐Ion Microbattery with Extended Shelf Life and Durability for Energy Autonomous Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We present a fully printed aqueous zinc‐ion microbattery (ZnIB) enabled by graphene‐decorated zinc anode and printed MnO@NC cathode using sustainable aqueous‐based ink formulations. The printed 3D electrodes ensure uniform zinc deposition, low overpotential, and long‐term stability.

Evidence for Common Horizontal Transmission of Wolbachia among Ants and Ant Crickets: Kleptoparasitism Added to the List

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2020
While Wolbachia, an intracellular bacterial symbiont, is primarily transmitted maternally in arthropods, horizontal transmission between species has been commonly documented.

Ground-dwelling ant diversity in Maliau Basin, Borneo: Evaluation of hand-sorting methods to estimate ant diversity

open access: yesTropics, 2010
The ground-dwelling ant fauna in tropical forests remains the “final frontier” in the study of Formicidae biodiversity. This is mainly due to a lack of convenient sampling methods for the inventory of ants in soil. In the present study, employing the hand-sorting of small soil cores, we carried out the first survey of ground-dwelling ants in Maliau ...

Generation of an Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell‐Derived Alveolar Type II In Vitro Model to Study Influenza A Virus Infection and Drug Treatments

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Patient‐specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be differentiated into alveolar type II cells (iAT2s), expanded as 3D alveolospheres, and grown at physiologically relevant air–liquid interface (ALI). This study shows for the first time the infectability of iAT2s by the influenza A virus (IAV) and proves their responsiveness to the well ...

Species diversity and distribution patterns of the ants of Amazonian Ecuador.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
Ants are among the most diverse, abundant and ecologically significant organisms on earth. Although their species richness appears to be greatest in the New World tropics, global patterns of ant diversity and distribution are not well understood.

The effect of urbanization on ant abundance and diversity: a temporal examination of factors affecting biodiversity. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Numerous studies have examined the effect of urbanization on species richness and most studies implicate urbanization as the major cause of biodiversity loss.

Microfluidic Modeling of Macrophage‐Induced Cardiac Inflammation Using NF‐κB Reporter Cardiomyocytes

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A cardiac inflammation model was developed to enable real‐time analysis of macrophage‐cardiomyocyte interactions using NF‐κB‐reporter cardiomyocytes and a microfluidic co‐culture system. A MATLAB‐based model was implemented to optimize cell density and medium resupply based on TNFα diffusion kinetics. Activation thresholds and stress responses in NF‐κB‐

Change of ant fauna in the Gwangneung Long-Term Ecological Research site in South Korea

open access: yesJournal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2015
Ant surveys were carried out in seven different years from 2002 to 2012 at the Gwangneung Long-Term Ecological Research site in South Korea to identify changes of ant communities using pitfall traps.

Ants, elevation, phylogenetic diversity and community structure [PDF]

open access: yesEcosphere, 2015
Testing the degree of support for macroecological patterns requires that the data behind these hypotheses be available for examination and re‐testing. Using geographically wide‐spread incidence matrices and a multi‐gene phylogeny for ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), I calculated phylogenetic measurements of alpha and beta diversity and elevation to test
