Graphene Materials for Sustainable Energy Applications: A Contemporary Perspective

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Graphene has garnered significant attention as a promising material with great potential for contributing to sustainable energy initiatives, such as RE100 (100% renewable energy initiative) and CF100 (100% carbon‐free initiative). This review aims to explore the potential of graphene for advancing renewable energy applications by highlighting

Cuticular hydrocarbons in two parapatric species of ants and their hybrid

, 2011
Discrimination between nestmates and non-nestmates in social insects is thought to rely on the pattern of cuticular hydrocarbons. We investigated the cuticular hydrocarbon profiles of 2 parapatric sibling ant species, Temnothorax nylanderi (Forster, 1850)

Total Synthesis and Absolute Configuration of the Irregular Tetraterpene Viaticene A

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Viaticenes are tetraterpenes with a unique [6+2]‐connectivity from the springtail Hypogastrura viatica. Here, we report a modular 13‐step total synthesis of viaticene A, featuring stereoselective double‐bond formation, a Cu‐mediated allylic substitution, and Ni/Co‐cocatalyzed vinyl‐alkyl cross‐electrophile coupling as key steps.

Reproductive Status of the social wasp Polistes versicolor (Hymenoptera, Vespidae)

Sociobiology, 2014
A fundamental feature in the evolution of social insects is the separation of castes, and the presence of wide differentiation between castes indicates a more advanced degree of sociability.

Evaluation of the Toxicity, Morphological and Behavioural Effects of Pelargonium graveolens Essential Oil in Artemia franciscana, Along With Its Antimicrobial Activity

Flavour and Fragrance Journal, EarlyView.
Essential oil of Pelargonium graveolens exhibited potent antimicrobial activity against bacterial and fungal pathogens, while higher concentrations induced mortality and altered swimming behaviour in Artemia franciscana. These findings highlight its therapeutic potential and underscore the importance of defining safe concentration ranges to support ...

Testing learning as alternative to the blank slate hypothesis in the honey bee, Apis mellifera.

PLoS ONE
Reliable recognition of nestmates and discrimination against non-nestmates is key to the integrity of social insect colonies. Cuticular hydrocarbon profiles play a key role in this recognition process in many species, including honey bees.

Tropical parabiotic ants: Highly unusual cuticular substances and low interspecific discrimination

Frontiers in Zoology, 2008
Background Associations between animal species require that at least one of the species recognizes its partner. Parabioses are associations of two ant species which co-inhabit the same nest.
