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

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

Steroid Hormone Signaling Is Essential for Pheromone Production and Oenocyte Survival. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2016 Many of the lipids found on the cuticles of insects function as pheromones and communicate information about age, sex, and reproductive status. In Drosophila, the composition of the information-rich lipid profile is dynamic and changes over the lifetime ...

Cuticular hydrocarbons are heritable in the cricket Teleogryllus oceanicus [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2008 AbstractThe ability of individuals to respond differentially to conspecifics depending on their genetic relatedness is a widespread phenomenon across the animal kingdom. Despite this, little is known about the selection processes that act on the phenotypic variation of traits used during recognition.

The relationship between queen execution and cuticular hydrocarbons in stingless bee Melipona scutellaris (Hymenoptera: Meliponini) [PDF]
, 2016 In queenright colonies of stingless bees of the genus Melipona, workers recognize, attack, and kill young virgin queens. For Melipona scutellaris, we observed that virgin queens were executed when they were between 5 and 9 days old, while newly emerged ...

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 ...
