The effects of temperature and viscosity on the metachronal swimming of crustaceans [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Temperature changes as small as $3 ^\circ$C have been observed to significantly impact how self-propelled organisms move through their environment, especially for those inhabiting the transitional flow regime in which both viscous and inertial effects are important.

A Systemic Reflection On Why Biology Is Best : E(s) ∞$$ \infty $$ mc2 Sentience, Consciousness and Transcendance?

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The short essay makes a case that a post biological world will be a devolution. Sentience is a relational process linked with the awe and wonder we experience in relation to one another and our shared habitat. The voiceless need to be protected by extending solidarity on the basis of sentience—a normative plea, but also on the basis of ...

Biomass Nanofiber‐Assembled Superhydrophobic Aerogels with Simultaneously Enhanced Mechanical Strength and Shape Recovery

open access: yesSmall Structures, EarlyView.
This study proposes a hierarchical fabrication strategy for biomass‐derived aerogels. Chitosan and sodium alginate are assembled into nanofibers via ultrasonication, then forming an anisotropic honeycomb‐like microstructure through freeze casting. Methyltrimethoxysilane modification further enhances the aerogel's strength (105.7 kPa at 80% strain) and ...

Reproductive biology of the bathyal asteroid Ctenodiscus crispatus in the northeastern Pacific

open access: yesInvertebrate Biology, Volume 141, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022
Abstract The mud star Ctenodiscus crispatus has a broad distribution from Arctic waters into the northern Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Populations in the Atlantic are well studied and show oocyte sizes indicative of continuous gametogenesis with aseasonal spawning.

Marine benthic flora and fauna of Gourdon Bay and the Dampier Peninsula in the Kimberley region of North-Western Australia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Surveys undertaken to characterise the marine benthic habitats along the Dampier Peninsula and further south at Gourdon Bay in the Kimberley region of Western Australia were augmented with epibenthic sled sampling of soft and hard bottom habitats.

Host species and age‐specific variation on Hepatozoon prevalence and its effect on body condition in two Neotropical crocodiles

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Many populations of species belonging to the order Crocodilia are threatened due to illegal trafficking, indiscriminate hunting, and habitat loss and degradation affecting crocodilian health and parasitic load. Although several studies have revealed that crocodiles, caimans, and alligators are frequently infected by Hepatozoon spp., the results from ...
