The influence of micro-scale thermal habitat on the movements of juvenile white sharks in their Southern California aggregation sites

Frontiers in Marine Science
While juvenile white sharks (JWS) can display regional endothermy, the need to maintain internal temperatures within an energetically favorable range likely drives thermoregulatory movements to maximize growth and foraging efficiency.

Climate‐driven resource availability drives medium‐ and broad‐scale temporal changes in owl–prey interactions over 24 years in a semi‐arid ecosystem

Ecography, EarlyView.
Predator–prey interactions are vital to ecosystem functioning but may be disrupted by climate change. We investigated a food‐web network involving three owl species over 24 years in a semi‐arid ecosystem at Bosque Fray Jorge National Park, Chile.

Global distribution of avian plumage coloration and patterning: the relative influence of climate, ecology, and sexual selection

Ecography, EarlyView.
Animal coloration exhibits substantial biogeographic variation, reflecting complex adaptations to both abiotic and biotic environments. Although the evolutionary mechanisms underlying avian plumage coloration have been widely studied, geographic variation in plumage patterning has received far less attention.

Thermoregulation mechanisms and nest size-dependent foraging behavior in the Red Wood Ant (Formica rufa)

Turkish Journal of Forestry
This study investigates how thermoregulation strategies and foraging behavior in red wood ants (Formica rufa) vary according to nest volume. The effects of these behavioral and physiological adaptations on nest microclimate and colony organization were ...

Smart Functional Hydrogels: Emerging Platforms for Thermal and Electrochemical Energy Harvesting and Conversion Systems

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
The hydrogel exhibits versatile functions, including efficient thermogalvanic conversion under a temperature difference, and acting as a cooling layer/forming a thermally conductive nanoactive composite for thermovoltaic conversion. Additionally, its self‐healing and self‐powered flexibility play a key role in energy storage systems. The growing demand
