Trait-based indicators of bird species sensitivity to habitat loss are effective within but not across datasets.

, 2017
Species' traits have been widely championed as the key to predicting which species are most threatened by habitat loss, yet previous work has failed to detect trends that are consistent enough to guide large-scale conservation and management.

Turning Water Into a Tool: From Degradation Pathways to Functional Engineering in Halide Perovskites

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Water exhibits a threshold‐dependent dual role in lead halide perovskites, acting either as a degradation trigger or as a powerful tool for defect passivation, recrystallization, and structural engineering. This review discusses how controlled water‐mediated interactions govern stability, dimensionality, and optoelectronic performance, providing ...

Spatio-temporal variations and drivers of ecological carrying capacity in a typical mountain-oasis-desert area, Xinjiang, China

, 2022
The aggravation of climate change and human activities have challenged the fragile ecology of the arid and semi-arid Xinjiang in Northwest China. The concept of ecological carrying capacity (ECC) refers to the ability of an ecosystem to support the ...

Soft Robotic Snake with Tunable Undulatory Gait for Efficient Underwater Locomotion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study designs an underwater soft snake robot using 3D‐printed soft actuators, controlled by specific signals to generate sinusoidal undulation. Results show a positive correlation between speed and swing amplitude, with optimal performance at 2/3π phase offset, PLA tail, 1.2 voltage growth rate, and 6s undulation period achieving a maximum speed ...

Experimenting with ecosystem interaction networks in search of threshold potentials in real-world marine ecosystems

, 2014
Thresholds profoundly affect our understanding and management of ecosystem dynamics, but we have yet to develop practical techniques to assess the risk that thresholds will be crossed.
