Hologenomics Reveals Specialized Dietary Adaptations in the Mengla Snail‐Eating Snake

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Dietary adaptation studies from a holobiome perspective are scarce beyond mammals. This research reveals how genomic and microbial interactions drive dietary specialization in the Mengla snail‐eating snake, with evidence of gut symbiont convergence between reptiles and mammals.

Skin lesions in European hibernating bats associated with Geomyces destructans, the etiologic agent of white-nose syndrome.

PLoS ONE, 2013
White-nose syndrome (WNS) has claimed the lives of millions of hibernating insectivorous bats in North America. Its etiologic agent, the psychrophilic fungus Geomyces destructans, causes skin lesions that are the hallmark of the disease.

Hair‐Like Flexible Airflow Sensor for Large‐Area Airflow Sensing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A hair‐like flexible airflow sensor is designed for large‐area airflow sensing with carbon fibers implanted on a laser‐induced graphene substrate. The flexible airflow sensor features a wide detection range and fast response time, effectively identifying airflow changes.

Hibernating little brown myotis (Myotis lucifugus) show variable immunological responses to white-nose syndrome.

PLoS ONE, 2013
White-nose syndrome (WNS) is an emerging infectious disease devastating hibernating North American bat populations that is caused by the psychrophilic fungus Geomyces destructans.

Pythagoras at the Bat

, 2014
The Pythagorean formula is one of the most popular ways to measure the true ability of a team. It is very easy to use, estimating a team's winning percentage from the runs they score and allow. This data is readily available on standings pages; no computationally intensive simulations are needed.

Unveiling Novel Viral Diversity, Biogeography, and Host Networks in Wildlife Through High‐Throughput Sequencing Data Mining

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Analysis of 57 536 high‐throughput sequencing datasets uncovers a vast, hidden world of viruses in wildlife. The researchers reveal significant geographic and host‐specific patterns of viruses, and their surprising cross‐species transmissions, such as avian flu viruses infecting goats.

Testing the sensory trade-off hypothesis in New World bats

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2018
Detection of evolutionary shifts in sensory systems is challenging. By adopting a molecular approach, our earlier study proposed a sensory trade-off hypothesis between a loss of colour vision and an origin of high-duty-cycle (HDC) echolocation in Old ...

Comparative Analysis of Hydrogen Production and Economic Feasibility: Direct versus Indirect Coupling of Photovoltaic Systems with Electrolyzers

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
This article examines the efficiency and cost‐effectiveness of green hydrogen production strategies: direct and indirect, with and without battery. Results show that the indirect configuration with battery yields the highest hydrogen production and profitability. The study discusses technical, energetic, and economic trade‐offs, providing insights into

Modelling filovirus maintenance in nature by experimental transmission of Marburg virus between Egyptian rousette bats

Nature Communications, 2017
The Egyptian rousette bat (ERB) is a natural reservoir host for Marburg virus (MARV); however, the mechanisms by which MARV is transmitted bat-to-bat and to other animals are unclear.
