Butterfly abundances but not patch occupancy buffered by vegetation heterogeneity during climatic extremes

Ecography, EarlyView.
As extreme climatic events are becoming more frequent, we need to understand what mechanisms could buffer populations to ensure their persistence. Fragmented populations may be especially vulnerable, as exemplified by species with metapopulation dynamics whose persistence is determined by a precarious balance between frequent local extinctions and ...

Long‐distance pollen transport mediated by migratory hoverflies

Ecography, EarlyView.
Long‐distance animal migrations shape ecosystems by redistributing nutrients, connecting populations, and mediating ecological interactions. However, the ecological contributions of many abundant insect migrants remain poorly quantified. Hoverflies are among the most numerous migratory insects and highly efficient pollinators, suggesting that their ...

Enhancing the Ferroelectricity of MAPbI3 via Hydroxyl Groups to Boost Photocatalytic Performance

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
The hydroxyl groups in (EOA)2PbBr4 enable a rearrangement of the polar MA+ ions in MAPbI3, which enhances the Ps‐electric field and promotes the separation of photogenerated carriers. Consequently, the (EOA)2PbBr4/MAPbI3 composite exhibits the enhanced CO production yield in photocatalytic CO2 reduction reactions.

A Flexible Poling‐Free Piezoelectric Energy Harvester Based on Gradient Ti‐Doped BiFeO3 Films

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A self‐aligned polarization is realized in compositional gradient Ti‐doped BiFeO3 films via the formation of defect dipoles and strain gradient. The self‐poling behavior is robust to resist high electric field and elevated temperature. The fabricated poling‐free piezoelectric energy harvester delivers output comparable to the poled ones.
