Cognitive dimensions of predator responses to imperfect mimicry? [PDF]
, 2007 Many palatable insects, for example hoverflies, deter predators by mimicking well-defended insects such as wasps. However, for human observers, these flies often seem to be little better than caricatures of wasps – their visual appearance and ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.TPP‐SAT, a mitochondria‐targeted natural enzyme‐cascade nanogel, selectively scavenges mitochondrial ROS (e.g., H2O2/·O2⁻) and converts them into therapeutic O2 via enzymatic cascades, alleviating hypoxia and inflammation. It rebalances M1/M2 macrophage polarization, activates the Nrf2 pathway while suppressing NF‐κB, enhances antioxidant defenses, and

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2009 In 2006–2008, mapping the sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus L.) and kestrel (Falco tinnunculus L.) occurred in the SE part of the Chřiby Upland. At the same time, the food spectrum of these birds of prey was determined during nesting periods.

Community dynamics of insular biotas in space and time [PDF]
, 2004 The various features determining species distributions remain enigmatic in ecology. This thesis deals with the spatial and temporal dynamics of land birds on the islands of the Dahlak archipelago, the Red Sea, and of mammals, birds and reptiles among the

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.An optimal dynamic balance between carrier lifetime and transit time is achieved in the Bi2O2Se/Ta2NiSe5 tunneling heterojunction, which simultaneously attains high responsivity (>103 A W−1) and a fast response time (≈5 µs). The specific detectivity can reach 3.75 × 1013 Jones at 633 nm and 1.8 × 1010 Jones at 1550 nm. Abstract New technologies such as
