Elevated Temperature Does Not Substantially Modify the Interactive Effects Between Elevated CO2 and Diel CO2 Cycles on the Survival, Growth and Behavior of a Coral Reef Fish

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Recent studies demonstrate that diel CO2 cycles, such as those prevalent in many shallow water habitats, can potentially modify the effects of ocean acidification conditions on marine organisms.

Does the diurnal activity pattern of carabid beetles depend on season, ground temperature and habitat? [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences, 2012
The influence of season, ground temperature and habitat on diurnal epigeic activity of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in floodplain forest and neighboring clear-cut area was studied in late spring and early autumn by pitfall trapping.

Catalyst Layer Modifications for Enhanced Performance of Fluorine‐Free Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
Considerable improvement in the performance of fully‐hydrocarbon‐based fuel cells is necessary to replace and compete with Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances‐containing fuel cells. Herein, a way to enhance the ionic conductivity of the catalyst layer (CL) by incorporating insoluble ionomer particles into the CL is presented.

Seasonal and diel patterns in Black Sea harbour porpoise acoustic activity in 2020–2022

Ecology and Evolution
The Black Sea is a semi‐enclosed inland sea with an unevenly distributed extensive coastal shelf area and anoxic deep waters. It is inhabited by common and bottlenose dolphins, as well as harbour porpoises, all represented by local subspecies.

Diel Patterns Hold Promise as an Ecological Trait for Ants

Sociobiology
Ecological traits have flourished in insect-based studies, resulting in a substantial and growing list of measurable traits. One trait that will likely become more attractive as data quality and curation improve is the diel patterns of insect activities.

Bistable Dual‐Responsive Azobenzene‐co‐PNIPAM Soft Microactuators via Two‐Photon Direct Laser Writing

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work shows the successful integration of intrinsic bistability into thermoresponsive soft microactuators, fabricated by two‐photon polymerization utilizing the (E)–(Z)‐isomerization of azobenzenes. The bistable behavior accounts for a reversible volume change of Azo_pNIPAM microactuators initiated by light irradiation, at constant ambient ...

Learning the distribution of latent variables in paired comparison models with round-robin scheduling

, 2020
Paired comparison data considered in this paper originate from the comparison of a large number N of individuals in couples. The dataset is a collection of results of contests between two individuals when each of them has faced n opponents, where n is ...

Alternative responses to predation in two headwater stream minnows is reflected in their contrasting diel activity patterns.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Animals exhibit diel periodicity in their activity in part to meet energy requirements whilst evading predation. A competing hypothesis suggests that partitioning of diel activities is less important because animals capitalise on opportunity.

Wind field and sex constrain the flight speeds of central-place foraging albatrosses [PDF]

, 2009
By extracting energy from the highly dynamic wind and wave fields that typify pelagic habitats, albatrosses are able to proceed almost exclusively by gliding flight.
