Evolution of host support for two ancient bacterial symbionts with differentially degraded genomes in a leafhopper host. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Plant sap-feeding insects (Hemiptera) rely on bacterial symbionts for nutrition absent in their diets. These bacteria experience extreme genome reduction and require genetic resources from their hosts, particularly for basic cellular processes other than

Anti‐Predation and Size‐Dependent Gas Exchange Functions of Amazonian Architect Cicada Towers

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Clay towers built by cicada nymphs before metamorphosis are poorly understood. We experimentally show that towers of the Amazonian cicada Guyalna chlorogena reduce predation risk and exhibit size‐dependent growth responses to gas exchange obstruction, supporting their interpretation as adaptive extended phenotypes.

Social media highlights the overlooked impact of cats on arthropods

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 2, Page 460-465, March 2026.
The impact of domestic cats on vertebrate biodiversity is unequivocal; however, we still know little about their effects on arthropods. By analysing over 17,000 photos and videos from social media platforms (iStock and TikTok), we documented 550 predation events of cats on arthropods.

Balancing Sustainability and Performance: Bio‐Based Epoxy Systems for Durable Flax Fiber‐Reinforced Composites

open access: yesPolymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 4, Page 3154-3172, 20 February 2026.
Bio‐based epoxy systems enabling sustainable, durable, and high‐performance flax fiber composites. ABSTRACT Three bio‐based epoxy systems—Polar Bear, Green Turtle, and Plankton—featuring bio‐carbon contents of 28% to 70%, were combined with recyclable (Recyclamine R101) and non‐recyclable hardeners to produce flax fiber‐reinforced biocomposites.

Cicada: Predictive Guarantees for Cloud Network Bandwidth [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In cloud-computing systems, network-bandwidth guarantees have been shown to improve predictability of application performance and cost. Most previous work on cloud-bandwidth guarantees has assumed that cloud tenants know what bandwidth guarantees they ...

Bridging a biogeographic 'gap' : microfossil evidence for the quillwort Isoetes on the Cumberland Plain west of Sydney during the early Colonial period [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Fossil spores preserved on historical archaeological sites at Parramatta and Richmond indicate that two or more species of the quillwort genus Isoetes (family Isoetaceae) were growing along rivers on the Cumberland Plain, west of Sydney, during the late ...
