Trapline foraging by bumble bees: VII. Adjustments for foraging success following competitor removal [PDF]

Behavioral Ecology, 2012
Animals collecting food from renewable resource patches scattered in space often establish small foraging areas to which they return faithfully. Such area fidelity offers foraging advantages through selection of profitable patches, route minimization, and regular circuit visits to these patches (“trapline foraging”).

Gram‐Scale Synthesis of Hafnium‐Rich Carbon Dots for Preclinical Computed Tomography Imaging Across Various Systems

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Hafnium (Hf)‐rich carbon dots (Hf‐rCDs) with high metal content (40.7%) and robust batch production capacity (>2 g per batch) are synthesized via a facile air‐assisted pyrolysis method. In vivo CT imaging demonstrates outstanding performance of Hf‐rCDs across multiple physiological systems and enables high‐resolution visualization of swine cervical ...

Cap removal by honey bees leads to higher pollen rewards from grapevine flowers [PDF]

Apidologie, 2015
Pollen of wind-pollinated plants such as grapevine rapidly dries out and is blown away after the anthers dehisce. Therefore, from the point of view of a pollen-collecting bee, pollen from wind-pollinated flowers is best collected soon after it becomes exposed. In grapevine, pollen becomes available immediately after the calyptra is shed, a process also

Probing the Cause of Capacity Fade in Large‐Format Li‐Ion Pouch Cells through Multimodal Characterization

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
A comprehensive multimodal characterization of two end‐of‐life cells from a retired Nissan Leaf battery pack, subjected to accelerated aging to mimic extended use in second‐life applications shows that electrolyte degradation and loss is a more critical contributor to cell degradation toward the knee‐point in these cells than degradation of the ...

The restoration of ecological interactions: plant-pollinator networks on ancient and restored heathlands [PDF]

, 2008
1. Attempts to restore damaged ecosystems usually emphasize structural aspects of biodiversity, such as species richness and abundance. An alternative is to emphasize functional aspects, such as patterns of interaction between species.

Clinically Informed Intelligent Classification of Ovarian Cancer Cells by Label‐Free Holographic Imaging Flow Cytometry

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
Quantitative phase maps of single cells recorded in flow cytometry modality feed a hierarchical architecture of machine learning models for the label‐free identification of subtypes of ovarian cancer. The employment of a priori clinical information improves the classification performance, thus emulating the clinical application of liquid biopsy during ...

BeeRootBot: A Bioinspired Robotic Probe Exhibiting Apical Growth through In Situ Soil Binding

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a novel method for consolidating subterranean exploration pathways in plant‐inspired robots by binding in‐situ soil with beeswax, a biobased material. This simultaneous advancement and wall‐lining process reduces penetration resistance, enhances exploration efficiency, enables communication and resource sharing, and promotes ...
