How ecological communities respond to artificial light at night [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, 2018 AbstractMany ecosystems worldwide are exposed to artificial light at night (ALAN), from streetlights and other sources, and a wide range of organisms has been shown to respond to this anthropogenic pressure. This raises concerns about the consequences for major ecosystem functions and their stability.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Parallel wiring of bioelectrochemical devices with conventional generators unexpectedly boosts output. A biophotovoltaic paired with a solar cell delivers up to 50% more power at low loads than their separate contributions; a plant microbial fuel cell shows similar current gains.

Paternal Circadian Disruption Impairs Offspring Cognition via Sperm microRNAs
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Paternal circadian disruption remodels the sperm small RNA payload, elevating miR‐92a‐3p/miR‐25‐3p levels and perturbing early embryonic gene regulatory programs. Microinjection experiments and single‐embryo transcriptomics reveal sex‐specific developmental vulnerabilities, ultimately impairing offspring hippocampal synaptic plasticity and cognition ...

Circadian Rhythms of Crawling and Swimming in the Nudibranch Mollusc Melibe leonina [PDF]
, 2014 Daily rhythms of activity driven by circadian clocks are expressed by many organisms, including molluscs. We initiated this study, with the nudibranch Melibe leonina, with four goals in mind: (1) determine which behaviors are expressed with a daily ...
