Using causal diagrams and superpopulation models to correct geographic biases in biodiversity monitoring data

Methods in Ecology and Evolution
Biodiversity monitoring schemes periodically measure species' abundances and distributions at a sample of sites to understand how they have changed over time. Often, the aim is to infer change in an average sense across some wider landscape. Inference to

3D Anodic Alumina Nanoarchitectures: A Decade of Progress from Foundational Science to Functional Metamaterials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Ordered three‐dimensional anodic aluminum oxide (3D‐AAO) nanoarchitectures with longitudinal and transverse pores enable architecture‐driven metamaterials. The review maps fabrication advances, including hybrid pulse anodization, and shows how 3D‐AAO templates tailor properties across magnetism, energy, catalysis, and sensing.

Activating a Metallization Switch for Record Hydrogen Evolution in Single‐Atom Modified Polar MOF Piezocatalysts

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Piezocatalytic hydrogen evolution enables the conversion of mechanical energy into chemical fuels, but its efficiency is constrained by a trade‐off between piezoelectric polarization and electronic conductivity. Strong piezoelectric polarization is essential for sufficient driving force, yet highly polar materials typically suffer from poor ...

Mating between Anartia jatrophae jatrophae (Linnaeus, 1763) and Ortilia liriope (Cramer, 1775) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) in the Brazilian Central Amazon

Revista Chilena de Entomología
Reproductive isolation is crucial for the survival of species in nature; nevertheless, interspecific mating and hybrid formation can still occur. In this work, we report a mating event between Anartia jatrophae jatrophae (Linnaeus) and Ortilia liriope ...

Evaluating the Migration Mortality Hypothesis Using Monarch Tagging Data

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
The decline in the eastern North American population of the monarch butterfly population since the late 1990s has been attributed to the loss of milkweed during the summer breeding season and the consequent reduction in the size of the summer population ...

Butterfly gyroid nanostructures as a time-frozen glimpse of intracellular membrane development

Science Advances, 2017
High-resolution microscopy of hierarchically organized solid gyroid nanostructures sheds light on the underlying dynamic formation process. The formation of the biophotonic gyroid material in butterfly wing scales is an exceptional feat of evolutionary ...
