Coupling Exponential Rolling Circle Amplification to Lateral Flow Devices for Point‐of‐Care Detection of Viral RNA

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A new exponential RCA (E‐RCA) system was developed and coupled to a toehold system for release of a bridging DNA, allowing for lateral flow detection. The E‐RCA method uses a secondary primer (P2) that binds RCA products (RCAP) to generate extended P2 products that can re‐prime a partially self‐complementary circular template, generating a complete ...

The “hidden workers”: livestock farmers’ perceptions of ecosystem services provided by dung beetles

Ecology and Society
Non-native dung beetles were introduced to Australian agricultural systems to provide ecosystem services, such as pasture cleaning and to control dung-breeding flies, which benefit particularly livestock farmers.

Modified MXene Aerogel With Broadband Microwave Absorption Inspired by Melanophila Acuminata Beetle

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work introduces a novel biomimetic strategy inspired by the infrared‐sensing sensilla of the Melanophila acuminata beetle. We have designed a multi‐level aerogel, featuring a three‐dimensional carbon framework decorated with synergistic CeO2 nanoparticles and Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets.

Removal Rates of Native and Exotic Dung by dung Beetles (Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) in a Fragmented Tropical Rain Forest [PDF]

, 2010
Many studies have evaluated the effect of forest fragmentation on dung beetle assem- blage structure. However, few have analyzed how forest fragmentation affects the processes carried out by these insects in tropical forests where their food sources ...

How does dung burial by coprophagous beetles modify the emergence of infectious strongyle nematode larvae? An experimental test across different soil depths

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
During their free-living stage, gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) eggs and larvae may encounter environmental and biomechanical perturbations, such as dung beetle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae, including Aphodiinae, Scarabaeinae and Geotrupidae) activity, that

Somatic Evolution of a Germline Antibody Expands its Breadth to Neutralize Early SARS‐CoV‐2 Omicron Variants

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Engineering of the 148‐germline (148‐GL) antibody reveals a roadmap for overcoming SARS‐CoV‐2 viral escape. By introducing four specific somatic hypermutations, the resulting 148‐M4 variant restores potent neutralization against Omicron BA.1 and BA.4/5.

Bistable Networks Enable Complex Shape Changes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Transition‐controlled metamaterials are networks of bistable mechanical memory that store local binary states and express them as global shape change. By decoupling low‐force programming from high‐force holding, a single lattice is reconfigured into distinct 2D profiles and 3D surfaces without continuous actuation, enabling reusable morphing materials ...

Dung Beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae and Geotrupidae) of North Carolina Cattle Pastures and Their Implications for Pasture Improvement

, 2004
Dung beetles in the families Scarabaeidae (subfamilies Aphodiinae, Scarabaeinae and Coprinae) and Geotrupidae (Geotrupinae) aid in the decomposition of dung, providing many benefits to pasture and animal health.
