Polysulfide Immobilization and Sulfur Conversion Kinetics Promotion via a Tetrathiafulvalene–Crown Ether COF@Graphene Layer for High‐Rate Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

Small, EarlyView.
A polysulfide‐regulating covalent organic framework (TUS‐44) integrating tetrathiafulvalene and crown‐ether linkers forms an electron‐delocalized, ion‐coordinative network that synergistically mediates Li–S redox chemistry. When interfaced with graphene, the TUS‐44@G layer functions as a catalytic and chemisorptive interface, enabling efficient ...

In vitro evaluation of the effect of entomopathogenic nematodes on different developmental stages of the brown dog tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Acari: Ixodidae)

Acarologia
The brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus (R. sanguineus) is a worldwide ectoparasite of veterinary and medical concern. Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) of the genera Steinernema and Heterorhabditis are occasionally used as bio-control agents for ...

Citizen science project on urban canids provides different results from camera traps but generates interest and revenue

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As urbanization increases, wildlife increasingly encounters people. Coyotes Canis latrans and red foxes Vulpes vulpes are two canid species that have readily adapted to urban environments. Citizen science has emerged as a low‐cost method of collecting data on urban‐adapted species that can benefit management agencies but may provide different results ...

Life‐history stages and behavior influence demographic classification of moose captured on remote cameras

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Obtaining accurate information on demographic states, such as the age and sex classes of animals, is an important step for monitoring wildlife populations. Traditionally, demographic data are collected from harvest, aerial surveys and telemetry studies.

Comparative toxicity of three variant oils and their nanoemulsions on the brown dog tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus

Scientific Reports
Tick control mainly depends on using chemical acaricides that have led to the emergence of resistant tick populations along with environmental hazards. Natural alternatives including essential oils are now widely used to avoid the undesirable effects of ...

Quantification of human‐caused mortality in an imperiled turtle

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
For many threatened and endangered species, the importance of human‐caused mortality relative to other sources has not been quantified, making it difficult to assess the effectiveness of mortality‐reduction strategies. We used radio telemetry data, pooled across studies at protected sites in the US states of Illinois and Wisconsin, to estimate natural ...

Dietary and Ranging Behavior of Semi‐Free Ranging Lemur catta and Varecia rubra at Myakka City Lemur Reserve, Florida, USA

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Betsiboka, a female red ruffed lemur (Varecia rubra) eating Carolina redroot in the Tower forest. ABSTRACT Lemurs are severely threatened due to anthropogenic habitat loss and climate change. Therefore, understanding how lemurs adapt their diets to novel habitats is critically important for maintaining healthy wild populations and effectively managing ...
