Climatic determinants of plant phenology in vernal pool habitats
Abstract Premise The floral phenology of vernal pool plants is little understood despite being a crucial developmental stage for producing seeds and determining population growth rates. Vernal pools are ephemerally aquatic habitats harboring species adapted to predictable seasonal fluctuations between desiccated and inundated conditions; thus, vernal ...

Floral scent of artificial hybrids between two Schiedea species that share a moth pollinator
Abstract Premise In flowering plants, pollinators' ability to recognize chemical displays of hybrids may erode reproductive barriers. Hybrids may produce novel or altered floral scent blends that are unattractive, or scents similar to either parent that remain attractive and promote backcrossing.

It was discovered by Omid Amiri and co‐workers that piezo‐catalysts or piezo materials exhibit an intriguing memory effect in their ability to kill bacteria. The effect is that the piezo materials can retain their activity even days after the mechanical force has been applied. The piezo‐catalysts can preserve their ability to kill bacteria for up to 11
