Compatibility of Methacrylate Based Resins Controls Interfacial Failure and Toughness in 3D‐Printed Multimaterial Composites

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This work shows that the mechanical performance of multimaterial digital light processing (DLP) printed thermoset composites is governed by resin compatibility and interfacial design rather than spatial patterning alone. Brittle and ductile resin combinations produced premature interfacial failure, while graded interfaces and mechanically compatible ...

Plant genotype and environment interact to shape a diverse arthropod community on evening primrose (Oenothera biennis) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Both an individual's genotype and environment govern its phenotype, and this phenotype may have extended consequences for species interactions and communities.

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Harnessing the highly adaptable barnase-barstar system for genetic biocontrol of Aedes aegypti

open access: yesCommunications Biology
Toxin-antidote pairs can be used in gene drive systems, providing powerful means to modify mosquito populations. Here we use the toxin-antidote pair, barnase and barstar, originally identified in Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, due to their high binding ...

Bioinspired Mechanically Robust Organic–Inorganic Hybridized Bio‐Adhesives With up to 50% Inorganic Components by Bi‐Continuous Phase Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A robust plant protein adhesive was prepared by fabricating a bi‐continuous organic–inorganic hybrid structure. Compared with traditional organic–inorganic hybrid adhesives, the addition amount of inorganic phase is increased from 0.2%–3.0% to 50%, and the strength and toughness are increased by 6 and 121 times, respectively.

The contribution of citizen science in the surveillance of wildlife and related arthropods

open access: yesParasitology, 2023
Environmental and anthropogenic factors may significantly affect the diffusion of wild animals, enhancing the interface of human–wildlife interactions and driving the spread of pathogens and vector-borne diseases between animals and humans.

Effects of Land Management Strategies on the Dispersal Pattern of a Beneficial Arthropod

open access: yes, 2012
Several arthropods are known to be highly beneficial to agricultural production. Consequently it is of great relevance to study the importance of land management and land composition for the conservation of beneficial aphid-predator arthropod species in
