ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING AND DUNG BEETLES [PDF]

The Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, 2013
A major challenge of ecological research is to assess the functional consequences of species richness loss over time and space in global biodiversity hotspots, where extinctions are happening at an unprecedented rate. In this study we propose a conceptual model that incorporates body size as a critical aspect of community responses to environmental ...

A Plug‐and‐Play Volume Minimizing Micromixer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microscale fluid mixing has numerous applications where rapid and efficient mixing is required, including drug discovery, bio‐analysis and point‐of‐care diagnostics. Conventional soft lithography processes, however, make the integration of robust and reliable mixing difficult to implement in practice, especially across different flow rates ...

Causal Prediction of TP53 Variant Pathogenicity Using a Perturbation‐Informed Protein Language Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A TP53‐specific predictor, CaVepP53, is developed by fine‐tuning ESMC on experimentally validated variants, quantifying pathogenicity via Euclidean distances. It outperforms general‐purpose models and extends to five cancer genes, enabling interpretable variant classification for precision medicine.

Bioinspired Hierarchical Architecture with Water Transport Channels for Strong Adhesion at the Sweating Interface

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
To address adhesion failure in sweaty epidermal electronics, this study proposes a cross‐species, multi‐scale biomimetic interface. By modeling staged wet adhesion, it integrates self‐regulating liquid bridges with directional drainage. This design ensures stable, high‐performance flexible sensing in complex physiological environments, offering a ...

Optimising bait for pitfall trapping of Amazonian dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae).

PLoS ONE, 2013
The accurate sampling of communities is vital to any investigation of ecological processes and biodiversity. Dung beetles have emerged as a widely used focal taxon in environmental studies and can be sampled quickly and inexpensively using baited ...

Ultrafast Interfacial Engineering for Quantifiable Control of Asymmetric Configurations in Nanostructured Janus Membranes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Founded on a rapidly formed nanostructured tannic acid/polyethyleneimine (TA/PEI) platform, an ultrafast (∼5 min), universal interfacial engineering strategy utilizing stearoyl chloride (SC) and Phytic acid (PA) enables precise fabrication of Janus membranes across diverse substrates.

In search of cues: dung beetle attraction and the significance of volatile composition of dung [PDF]

, 2018
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) provide animals with multiple cues about location, type, and condition of valuable resources such as food. In particular, odour cues are often essential for the localization and discrimination of resources with patchy ...

Directed Evolution Improves the Catalytic Efficiency of APEX2‐Mediated Proximity‐Dependent RNA Labeling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Engineered ascorbate peroxidase APEX2 has been widely used for spatially restricted profiling of subcellular biomolecules, but its catalytic efficiency toward newly developed probes such as biotin‐aniline (Btn‐An) remains suboptimal. To overcome this limitation, we performed yeast surface display‐based directed evolution to enhance APEX2 ...
