Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2014 The bird feather vane can be separated into two parts by pulling the barbs apart. The original state can be re-established easily by lightly stroking through the feather. Hooklets responsible for holding vane barbs together are not damaged by multiple zipping and unzipping cycles.

Effects of foliar fertilization of a biostimulant obtained from chicken feathers on maize yield [PDF]
, 2018 Due to the important contribution that it makes to human nutrition, maize is one of the most widely-consumed cereals in the world. There is, therefore, high demand for fertilizers that will maintain maize production at both high yield and quality levels.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.In this study, the orange‐muscle giant abalone (Haliotis gigantea) is used as a model to identify a non‐coding SNP that disrupts the interaction between ITGA8 pre‐mRNA and the splicing factor ILF2, leading to altered ITGA8 splicing. These splicing changes promote carotenoid accumulation in abalone muscle through the regulation of tissue remodeling ...

Images Re-VuesThe notion of the “human zoo”, which has met with great success, appears problematic for a number of reasons, starting with the indistinctness of the processes of animalization it proposes to bring together.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A green, thermoreversible self‐assembly strategy yields a multifunctional and recyclable supramolecular nanofibrous membrane. Graphene oxide (GO) nanosheet acts as a heterogeneous nucleation‐templating agent, simultaneously modulating the supramolecular crystal packing while tailoring the nanofibrous architecture for elite performance.

Nest decoration: Black feathers prevent Crested Mynas from nest usurpation
Avian ResearchNests are important structures for birds to raise their offspring and for signaling. Many birds incorporate feathers into the nest, since feathers were traditionally thought to serve the function of insulation.

Molecular Ecology, 2018 Parasites and other symbionts are crucial components of ecosystems, regulating host populations and supporting food webs. However, most symbiont systems, especially those involving commensals and mutualists, are relatively poorly understood.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Biomass‐ and solid waste‐derived sustainable single‐atom catalysts (Sus‐SACs) provide a cost‐effective and renewable approach to catalyst design. This review summarizes precursor selection, including AI‐assisted screening, synthesis strategies with emphasis on ultrafast methods, and advanced characterization techniques.

Journal of Avian BiologyFeathers are structures unique to birds that serve important functions such as flight, thermoregulation, and communication. Bacteria that live on the feathers, particularly ones that can break down keratin, have the potential to damage feathers and ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.An in situ thiol–acrylate chain transfer‐mediated toughening strategy is introduced for Digital Light Processing (DLP) printing. Benefiting from its excellent printability, a printed gyroid lattice‐filled plate (100 µm wall thickness) achieves 92% transmittance at 10 GHz under a 50° incidence angle following structural optimization. ABSTRACT The unique
