Paradigm shift in wearable bioelectronics: Drift‐free organic field‐effect transistor biosensors enabled by diode‐connected pairs

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Organic field‐effect transistor (OFET)‐based biosensors are promising for wearable technology due to their flexibility and low cost, but their susceptibility to signal drift from mechanical stress and environmental factors remains a challenge. Here, we highlight a novel strategy that eliminates these drifts through a fundamental redesign of the OFET ...

Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...
