Behavioral ecology and the successful integration of function and mechanism [PDF]
Behavioral Ecology, 2014 Broadly speaking, researchers working in the field of animal biology can be divided into 2 camps: those who seek to understand the processes that will enable us to identify, alleviate, and if possible cure, human ailments—that is, the biomedical sciences, and those who want to understand the processes responsible for the diversity that we see in animal

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Walnut seeds are enclosed in a remarkably strong shell made of sclerenchyma, separated by a pectin‐rich suture tissue. Different cell shapes and chemical composition of this tissue point to an opening mechanism, which is triggered by cyclic humidity changes.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A food‐grade cooling composite made from starch and recycled eggshell powder offers a scalable, ultra‐low‐cost solution for passive daytime radiative cooling. Easily prepared using basic kitchen tools, this material empowers communities, even in areas with limited infrastructure, to stay cooler during worsening summer heat waves.

Proliferating poplars: the leading edge of landscape change in an Alaskan subalpine chronosequence
Ecosphere, 2016 We remeasured a classic chronosequence study in the subalpine zone of the Alaska Range to evaluate how plant community attributes have changed across a set of different‐aged terraces over a 54‐yr period (1958–2012).

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This review explores functional and responsive materials for triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) in sustainable smart agriculture. It examines how particulate contamination and dirt affect charge transfer and efficiency. Environmental challenges and strategies to enhance durability and responsiveness are outlined, including active functional layers ...
