Observations on the biology of cave planarians of the United States

International Journal of Speleology, 1982
Observations are made on the biology of several species of cave planarians (mostly of the family Kenkiidae) collected alive from over 50 caves in 14 states. Most of these species were maintained in laboratory cultures at 12°C±3°C. Food eaten was extremely variable.

Vulnerability of Southern Hemisphere bats to white‐nose syndrome based on global analysis of fungal host specificity and cave temperatures

Conservation Biology
White‐nose syndrome (WNS), a disease affecting hibernating bats, is caused by the fungal pathogen Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd). Since the initial introduction of Pd from Eurasia to the United States in 2006, WNS has killed millions of bats ...

Micropillar‐Engineered Hybrid Adhesive Patch for Surface‐Conformable and Directional Adhesion

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This work presents a surface‐conformable hybrid adhesive integrating height‐optimized hexagonal micropillars with open‐rectangular cuts. The micropillars enhance rough‐surface contact and microscale crack arrest, while the cuts guide and reverse interfacial cracks for strong and directional adhesion. The multiscale architecture achieves robust pull‐off

Biology and ecology of the El Convento Cave-Spring System (Puerto Rico)

International Journal of Speleology, 1974
The El Convento Cave-Spring System is located at the head of the Quebrada de Los Cedros, approximately 20 km. west of Ponce, southwestern Puerto Rico. Although situated in an arid environment, the gorge receives sufficient moisture from the cave-spring system to support an abundant flora, with Bucida buceras and Bursera simaruba as the dominant trees ...

Observations on the biology of Spelaelacris tabulae Peringuey (Orthoptera, Rhaphidophoridae), from the Wynberg cave (Capetown, South Africa)

International Journal of Speleology, 1991
Data on the age structure, fecundity, egg morphology and feeding habits of the Spelaeiacris tabulae population from Wynberg cave are reported and compared with other Rhaphidophoridae species. S. tabulae shows a certain degree of adaptation to cave life, as usual in the other temperate species of Rhaphidophoridae.

Advances in Safe, Flexible, and Stretchable Batteries for Wearable Applications

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Unlike previous reviews centered on component‐based deformability, this work highlights safety‐driven design strategies for flexible and stretchable batteries. By integrating material‐level engineering, geometry‐controlled structures, biocompatibility, and self‐protection mechanisms, it establishes a unified framework that connects mechanical ...

A Multi‐Resonant Tunable Fabry‐Pérot Cavity for High Throughput Spectral Imaging

Advanced Optical Materials, Volume 13, Issue 8, March 13, 2025.
This study introduces a multi‐resonant tunable Fabry‐Pérot filter for high throughput spectral imaging. With a spectral resolution of 10 nm and a switching time of 23 ms, this compact and low‐cost device possesses better spectral imaging accuracy in poor light conditions while maintaining over six times higher optical throughput than standard liquid ...
