Programmed Interfacial Phase Separation for Spatiotemporal Fungicide Delivery via Tunable Micro/Nano Architectures

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Translating dynamic liquid‐liquid phase separation into robust solid‐state architectures remains a challenge in materials engineering. Here, we report a composition‐driven interfacial assembly strategy that couples supramolecular coacervation with metal‐phenolic coordination to engineer tunable fungicide carriers.

Manta munchies: plankton dynamics and feeding behaviour of reef manta rays (Mobula alfredi) around D’Arros Island in the Seychelles

Frontiers in Marine Science
The reef manta ray (Mobula alfredi) is a threatened filter-feeding elasmobranch that requires immediate management and protection across large parts of its range. Despite being well-studied, a detailed understanding of their feeding ecology, which shapes

Scaling up the curvature of mammalian metabolism

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2014
A curvilinear relationship between mammalian metabolic rate and body size on a log-log scale has been adopted in lieu of thelongstanding concept of a 3/4 allometric relationship (Kolokotrones et al. 2010).

Rainfall Shapes the Diversity of Soil Nitrogen‐Fixing Microorganisms Worldwide

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals the distinctive pattern and mechanism of rainfall driving the global biodiversity and biogeography of soil potential N‐fixing microorganisms, and constructs the theoretical framework. The results guide us on how to maintain ecosystem productivity under future climate changes (e.g., whether a specific region needs more N fertilizers ...

Investigations of the Evolved Molecular Basis for Terpenoid Biosynthesis in Marine Sponges

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Confirming and extending a previous observation in another Bubarida sponge, genomic and functional analyses of A. cavernosa reveal that sponges retain the mevalonate pathway and employ single α‐domain T1TSs and UbiA‐type TSs for terpenoid biosynthesis. The absence of T1TSs clustering with other biosynthetic genes tentatively suggests, based on limited ...

Consequences of different sample drying temperatures for accuracy of biomass inventories in forest ecosystems

Scientific Reports, 2020
Biomass estimation is one of the crucial tasks of forest ecology. Drying tree material is a crucial stage of preparing biomass estimation tools. However, at this step researchers use different drying temperatures, but we do not know how this influences ...

Mesoporous PU/PEDOT:PSS Electrodes Reveal Population‐Level Stochastic Bioelectrical Dynamics in Marine Diatoms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mesoporous mixed ionic‐electronic PU/PEDOT: PSS electrodes enable label‐free detection of stochastic extracellular bioelectrical dynamics in living Phaeodactylum tricornutum. Living diatoms actively modulate interfacial ionic dynamics, establishing stochastic electrochemical noise as a sensitive probe of microbial bioelectrochemical activity and a new ...
