Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),

Kinetically Engineered Lithiophilic Dual‐Metal Layers for Dendrite‐Free, High‐Energy Anode‐Less All‐Solid‐State Batteries

open access: yesBattery Energy, EarlyView.
A high‐current‐density anode‐less all‐solid‐state battery is realized using a nanoscale dual‐layer lithiophilic electrode architecture consisting of an upper gold layer and a lower magnesium layer. The distinct lithiation kinetics of these lithiophilic metals ensure that initial Li nucleation occurs selectively in the lower layer, which effectively ...

Mechanical Coupling With the Nuclear Envelope Shapes the Schizosaccharomyces pombe Mitotic Spindle

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe divides via closed mitosis, meaning that spindle elongation and chromosome segregation transpire entirely within the closed nuclear envelope. Both the spindle and nuclear envelope must undergo shape changes and exert varying forces on each other during this process.

Spatial Learning in Dragonflies

open access: yesInternational Journal of Comparative Psychology, 2006
Spatial learning is evident in dragonflies on a variety of spatial scales. Mature dragonflies must be able to locate a variety of features in the habitat that are critical to survival and reproduction, including sites for breeding, foraging, roosting, and thermoregulating. In many species, these sites do not coincide in space.

LZTS2 Negatively Regulates Centrosomal CEP135 Levels and Microtubule Nucleation

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The microtubule cytoskeleton is a fundamental functional component of the cell. In vertebrate proliferating cells, centrosomes are the primary microtubule organizing center (MTOC), and their dysregulation has been linked to genomic instability and cancer.

Early recolonization of a dredged lowland river by dragonflies (Insecta: Odonata)

open access: yes, 2016
The influence of dredging on the dragonfly assemblages of the small regulated lowland River Krąpiel (north-western Poland) was analyzed a short time after the dredging. Dragonfly assemblages were destroyed, but they began to recover rapidly.

Meta‐Virtuality: Strategies of Disembeddedness in Virtual Interiorities

open access: yesJournal of Interior Design, EarlyView., 2022
ABSTRACT To reclaim their seat in the rapidly growing market of virtual space, designers of the built environment can benefit from reevaluating theories that see the virtual as a mere extension/reflection of the physical. By claiming ontological autonomy from external worlds, the virtual is liberated from the hegemonic control of the physical.
