Quantifying the relative predation pressure on bumblebee nests by the European badger (Meles meles) using artificial nests

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Bumblebee populations are declining. Factors that impact the size and success of colonies act by either limiting resource availability (bottom‐up regulation) or causing mortality, for example, pesticides, disease, and possibly predation (top‐down ...

Alphaviral Capsid Proteins Inhibit Stress Granule Assembly via Competitive RNA Binding With G3BP1

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Stress granules exert antiviral functions. This study illustrates a conserved function of alphaviral capsid proteins in modulating stress granules. Oligomerization mediated by a helical motif coupled with a positively charged intrinsically disordered region (IDR) directly competes with G3BP1 for RNA binding, thereby disrupting G3BP1‐RNA liquid–liquid ...

Experiments Reveal That Search Image Might Be Responsible for Seasonal Variation in Nest-Predation Rates

open access: yesDiversity
Investigations of seasonal variations in nest predation rates yield highly variable results. Some investigations argue that search image is responsible for some of the nest-predation patterns, but as far as we know, this study is the first in which ...

Automatic Lesser Kestrel’s Gender Identification using Video Processing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Traditionally, animal surveillance is a common task for biologists. However, this task is often accompanied by the inspection of huge amounts of video. In this sense, this paper proposes an automatic video processing algorithm to identify the gender of

Leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models for Cancer Immunotherapy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Cancer immunotherapy faces challenges in predicting treatment responses and understanding resistance mechanisms. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) offer powerful solutions for cancer immunotherapy in patient stratification, biomarker discovery, treatment strategy optimization, and foundation model development.

Aromatic Plants in Eurasian Blue Tit Nests: The ‘Nest [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The ‘Nest Protection Hypothesis’ suggests that some birds add aromatic plants to their nests to repel or kill ectoparasites. This behavior has been described for several species, including the Eurasian Blue Tit (Cyanistes caeruleus).

Neural Network‐Based Permittivity Engineering of Magnetic Absorbers for Customizable Microwave Absorption

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A neural network‐enabled permittivity engineering paradigm is introduced, transcending traditional trial‐and‐error design. By decoupling electromagnetic parameters and screening a high‐throughput feature space, an ultrathin (1.0 mm) magnetic absorber is inversely designed, experimentally achieving a superior and customizable 5.1 GHz bandwidth and ...

Marine turtles are not fussy nesters: a novel test of small-scale nest site selection using structure from motion beach terrain information [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2017
Background Nest selection is widely regarded as a key process determining the fitness of individuals and viability of animal populations. For marine turtles that nest on beaches, this is particularly pivotal as the nesting environment can significantly ...

Emerging of Anomalous Higher‐Order Topological Phases in Altermagnet/Topological Insulator Heterostructure by Floquet Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We combine altermagnet with topological insulators and subject the structure to Floquet driving. This breaks time‐reversal symmetry and creates a new type of higher‐order topological insulator. Its key feature is the emergence of programmable “0/π‐corner modes” that can be controlled by magnetic field direction, offering a novel dynamic platform for ...

Anthropogenic nesting substrates increase parental fitness in a Neotropical songbird, the pale‐breasted thrush Turdus leucomelas

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology
The failure of breeding attempts is a major hindrance to bird reproduction, making nest site choice under strong selective pressure. Urbanization may offer lower risk of nest predation to certain bird species, but the impact of using anthropogenic ...
