Notizen: The Wax of Calathea lutea (Marantaceae)

Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 1979
Abstract Calathea lutea lives in rain forests of Central America. It produces a conspicuous wax coating on the under surface of the leaves. As contribution to the as yet rather poor chemical knowledge on the Marantaceae, the composition of this wax has been analyzed.

Forest type influence on Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Responses to forest type depended on the developmental stage of dipterans. Bract traits and forest type influenced larval abundance, but forest type had no impact on adult alpha and beta diversity. Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks showed a nested pattern for both forest types.

Robotic Materials With Bioinspired Microstructures for High Sensitivity and Fast Actuation

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 15, 13 March 2026.
In the review paper, design rationale and approaches for bioinspired sensors and actuators in robotics applications are presented. These bioinspired microstructure strategies implemented in both can improve the performance in several ways. Also, recent ideas and innovations that embed robotic materials with logic and computation with it are part of the

Flexible ionic pressure sensors: From migration‐electronic mechanisms to emerging iontronic paradigms

InfoMat, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
Mechanisms, materials, structures, and applications of the FIPSs. Abstract Flexible ionic pressure sensors (FIPS) have emerged as promising candidates for bridging the gap between electronics and biologically compatible interfaces. Unlike previous reviews, which focused primarily on materials or devices, this review presents a classification of FIPS ...

Application Research of Microstructured Flexible Sensors in Rehabilitative Wearable Sensing

iNew Medicine, Volume 2, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Flexible sensors enable the continuous, real‐time monitoring of the physiological and movement signals of patients, providing data support for precise rehabilitation strategies and playing a crucial role in rehabilitation medicine. However, traditional rigid sensors are often incompatible with dynamic body contours due to their high material ...

Micropropagation of Calathea ornata Koern.

Biologia plantarum, 1997
In vitro cultures of Calathea ornata Koern. cv. Sanderiana shoots were maintained on modified medium of Murashige and Skoog. With the aim to find effective micropropagation method the effects of cytokinins, paclobutrazol, saccharose, mineral salts and shoot-tip damage on the shoot growth and quality were studied.

A review of non‐native scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Coccoidea) of Australia and the challenges in maintaining current and accurate pest lists

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Over 870 species of scale insects, also called coccoids (infraorder Coccomorpha), have been recorded from Australia. Here, we systematically review literature, databases and collections to provide a revised assessment of non‐native species to Australia, for which we confirm those species that are introduced and extant in Australia (including ...
