Neuromodulation of courtship drive through tyramine-responsive neurons in the Drosophila brain
Current Biology, 2016 SUMMARY Neuromodulators influence the activities of collections of neurons, and have profound impacts on animal behavior. Male courtship drive is complex, and is subject to neuromodulatory control.

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.This study presents ultrathin, high‐capacity aluminum‐air batteries (AABs) for self‐sustaining, skin‐conformal electronics. By utilizing ambient moisture and oxygen alongside a LiCl‐based hygroscopic hydrogel electrolyte, the design significantly reduces battery thickness while preventing dehydration and Al self‐corrosion.

Courtship initiation is stimulated by acoustic signals in Drosophila melanogaster.
PLoS ONE, 2008 Finding a mating partner is a critical task for many organisms. It is in the interest of males to employ multiple sensory modalities to search for females.

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.Direct seawater electrolysis using anion exchange membranes is emerging as a promising route for sustainable hydrogen production. This review summarizes multiscale design strategies from seawater chemistry and OER–ClER selectivity to catalysts, membranes, MEAs, cells, stacks, and system integration, providing a roadmap toward selective, durable, and ...

Kin recognition: Neurogenomic response to mate choice and sib mating avoidance in a parasitic wasp.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Sib mating increases homozygosity, which therefore increases the risk of inbreeding depression. Selective pressures have favoured the evolution of kin recognition and avoidance of sib mating in numerous species, including the parasitoid wasp Venturia ...

Rural Labor Supply and Economic Opportunities: Commuting, Migration, Tariffs, and Immigration
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Some rural counties remain dependent on agricultural or manufacturing jobs, but an increasing proportion have diversified economics. Rural counties also differ in their abilities to commute to an urban market characterized by higher wages and labor productivity.

Magnetoreception Regulates Male Courtship Activity in Drosophila.
PLoS ONE, 2016 The possible neurological and biophysical effects of magnetic fields on animals is an area of active study. Here, we report that courtship activity of male Drosophila increases in a magnetic field and that this effect is regulated by the blue light ...

On the Behavioural Biology of the Mainland Serow: A Comparative Study
Animals, 2020 Comparative behavioural studies help reconstruct the phylogeny of closely related species. In that respect, the serows Capricornis spp. occupy an important position as they have been assumed to be the closest forms to the ancestors of Caprinae.

Excitation and inhibition onto central courtship neurons biases Drosophila mate choice
eLife, 2015 The ability to distinguish males from females is essential for productive mate selection and species propagation. Recent studies in Drosophila have identified different classes of contact chemosensory neurons that detect female or male pheromones and ...

Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The origin of a product, if associated with good quality, can contribute to building a positive collective reputation, leading to a potential price premium. However, it is conceivable that a producer markets a product by evoking symbols, images, words, and values typical of places other than where it was designed or produced, creating a ...
