The Last Word: The Prattling, Tattling Parrots of Popular Lore
The Journal of Popular Culture, Volume 58, Issue 6, Page 290-299, December 2025.ABSTRACT Garrulous parrots appear in a wide array of pop culture forms—from urban legends, television sitcoms, and advertising, to comics, pulp detective fiction, and jokes (naming a few). The birds can be helpful, clever agents; but more often they are mischief makers challenging social norms. Among the pandemonium of parrots in expressive culture, we

A Novel Cooperative Jamming Scheme for Wireless Social Networks Without Known CSI
IEEE Access, 2017 Considering a wireless social network, we investigate a cooperative jamming scheme based on the space power synthesis with unknown channel state information (CSI) of eavesdroppers.

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 11, November 2025.Invasive ants threaten biodiversity worldwide. They may benefit from being novel if native species fail to show appropriate responses to their cues. Cues include chemical footprints (or ‘home‐range markings' in ants) left by all walking insects, which resemble cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs).

Small Structures, Volume 6, Issue 11, November 2025.Breaking the structural symmetry of devices is a crucial design strategy that endows terahertz (THz) detectors with novel operating mechanisms and unique characteristics. This study provides an in‐depth discussion on symmetry‐breaking‐induced phenomena, novel asymmetric structures, and dominant detection mechanisms.

Visual information in the dark: Bioluminescence and perceptual design through evolution
Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 2611-2625, October 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Bioluminescence offers a powerful framework for understanding how organisms evolve to shape visual information in diverse ways. Complementing studies of colour, transparency and pattern in illuminated environments, bioluminescent systems instead rely on generated light,

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 2099-2115, October 2025.ABSTRACT From blood‐sucking lice and food‐stealing gulls to pandemic‐inducing viruses and egg‐eating snakes: parasites and predators are ubiquitous in shaping ecology and evolution. Fundamental to these interactions is the way in which parasites and predators choose their victim. Here, I argue that a trade‐off between host quality and vulnerability can
