Multiple parasitism in an evictor brood parasite: Patterns revealed by long-term monitoring, continuous video-recording and genetic analyses [PDF]
, 2022 In some populations of host of brood parasites, more than two parasite eggs may be laid in a single nest. This phenomenon is known as multiple parasitism, representing a cost to both host and parasite. In this study, we analysed a long-term dataset (2007–

Memristive‐Gated RC‐Delay Synaptic Transistors for Time‐Encoded Analog in‐Memory Computing
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A Memristive‐Gated Transistor for Time‐Encoded Analog In‐Memory Computing — By exploiting the RC delay of a self‐rectifying interface‐type memristor, nonlinear I–V distortion is structurally bypassed, enabling 3‐bit nonvolatile memory, spike‐timing‐based analog encoding, and hardware‐calibrated reservoir‐computing validation within a unified device ...

Model eggs fail to detect egg recognition in host populations after brood parasitism is relaxed
Frontiers in Zoology, 2020 Background Obligate brood parasites exert strong selective pressure on target hosts. In response, hosts typically evolve anti-parasitism strategies, of which egg recognition is one of the most efficient.

Chitin‐Derived Carbon‐Metal Functional Materials
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Functional carbon materials are synthesized from combination of biopolymer (chitin) and iron precursors. The resultant material exhibits superior surface area and adsorptive properties compared to carbon materials synthesized directly from pure chitin.
