Near‐Infrared Organic Photovoltaic Electrodes for Subretinal Neurostimulation
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Organic photovoltaic electrodes based on the D18:Y6 blend enable precise and light‐controlled activation of retinal ganglion cells in a degenerating retina. NIR Light‐driven activation of retinal ganglion cells, tunable stimulation parameters, and biocompatibility with human retinal organoids highlight their potential for next‐generation prosthetics ...

Pleistocene preserve: a population growth problem of mammoth proportions
Evolution: Education and Outreach, 2019 A number of processes that involve large numbers are critical to civic scientific literacy, including many biological topics. Understanding the basic causes of such large-scale processes, such as population growth, speciation, and extinction, are key to ...

Local Extinction of Bull Kelp (Durvillaea spp.) Due to a Marine Heatwave
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019 Detailed research has documented gradual changes to biological communities attributed to increases in global average temperatures. However, localized and abrupt temperature anomalies associated with heatwaves may cause more rapid biological changes.

Ecological Finitude as Ontological Finitude: Radical Hope in the Anthropocene [PDF]
, 2018 The proposal that the earth has entered a new epoch called “the Anthropocene” has touched a nerve . One unsettling part of having our ecological finitude thrust upon us with the term “Anthropocene” is that, as Nietzsche said of the death of God, we ...

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Learning and Cognition, 2020 Following cue-outcome (X-O) pairings, 2 procedures that reduce conditioned responses to X are extinction, in which X is presented by itself, and counterconditioning, in which X is paired with a different outcome typically of valence opposite that of training.

Biological diversity and probability of local extinction of ecosystems [PDF]
Functional Ecology, 2000 Abstract1. With a mathematical model, we demonstrate that two principle components of biological diversity have antagonistic effects on the probability of ecosystem functioning (i.e. on ecosystem reliability, sensuNaeem 1998). Increasing the number of functionally analogous species in the system is shown to enhance reliability, while increasing the ...
