Thermal Plasticity is Regulated by a Key MicroRNA During Range Expansion of an Invasive Fruit Fly
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Populations at the invasion front of Bactrocera dorsalis adapt through reduced phenotypic and gene expression plasticity, a phenomenon likely to be driven by genetic assimilation. We identify a key miRNA‐mediated regulatory axis, in which miR‐276b post‐transcriptionally represses thw, a conserved chitin‐binding gene critical to the cold‐tolerance ...

The Impact of Acute Loud Noise on the Behavior of Laboratory Birds
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 Husbandry procedures and facility settings, such as low-frequency fire alarms, can produce noises in a laboratory environment that cause stress to animals used in research.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Three‐terminal (3T) perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells overcome the current‐matching constraints of 2T designs. Using an IBC POLO silicon bottom cell, we demonstrate a 30.1% PCE, with performance largely decoupled from perovskite bandgap and enhanced resilience under realistic, time‐dependent solar spectra.

Gouldian finches are followers with black-headed females taking the lead.
PLoS ONE, 2019 Colour polymorphism is a widespread phenomenon and often encompasses different behavioural traits and strategies. More recently, it has been shown that morphs can also signal consistent individual differences (personality).

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines light‐matter interactions in CsFAPb(Br, I)3 perovskite thin films by analyzing their absorption, reflection, and emission properties using Fresnel‐based OPAL2 simulations. The optical spectra show sharp absorption edges at 1.55 – 1.60 eV for CH3NH3PbI3 and triple‐cation perovskites, which blue‐shift to ∼1.8 eV with ...

Humans Discriminate Individual Zebra Finches by their Song
Biolinguistics, 2021 Comparative experiments have greatly advanced the field of biolinguistics in the 21st century, but so far very little research has focused on human perception of non-human animal vocalizations.

Variation in parrot jaw musculature
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Interspecific morphological differences in some superficial jaw muscles of parrots. Abstract Psittaciformes, the order encompassing parrots and their relatives, are highly diverse and generally known for having a strong beaks used for multiple behaviors. The muscles related to the masticatory apparatus should reflect this functional complexity; however,

Effects of photoperiod on basal metabolism and substrate metabolism in Zebra Finches
Avian ResearchPhotoperiod serves as an essential environmental cue that facilitates seasonal acclimatization and thermoregulation in birds. However, its effects on basal and substrate metabolism in Zebra Finches (Taeniopygia guttata) remain unclear.

Survey of haemosporidian parasite infections in an endangered high alpine bird
Parasites & Vectors, 2023 The Brown-capped Rosy-Finch is an endangered high alpine specialist that breeds on cliffs in the Rocky Mountains of North America. We know little about the parasites that infect these birds but filling this knowledge gap is important for understanding ...
