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.

Rapid dung removal by beetles suggests higher duiker densities in Central African rainforests
Oryx, 2023 For many mammal species, converting dung density into population density requires accurate estimates of defaecation rate and dung survival time. The latter parameter probably varies seasonally.

The “hidden workers”: livestock farmers’ perceptions of ecosystem services provided by dung beetles
Ecology and SocietyNon-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.

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 ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The study of morphological evolution is fundamentally tied to ontogeny, yet studies of these heterochronic processes in the fossil record are rare. Fossils belonging to an ontogenetic series are difficult to assign to an ontogenetic stage due to inconsistent proxies for skeletal ages, challenging to taxonomically assign due to morphological ...
