Lizards in Dunes and Swales: Habitat Structure and Assemblage Patterns
ABSTRACT Habitat structure mediates thermoregulation, foraging opportunities, and access to refugia, shaping how animals use space and encounter risk. Dune–swale mosaics provide sharp structural contrasts over short distances, offering a natural test of structure–assemblage links and spacing relative to shelter.

The Material Basis of 18th‐Century Meissen Porcelain
ABSTRACT In the summer of 1708, the quest for making hard‐paste porcelain from Saxonian clay and other mineral resources succeeded. This was achieved by applying as its essential ingredient newly discovered pure kaolin from Heidelsberg near Aue, western Saxon Ore Mountains.

Automated irrigation systems in mitigating laser‐induced temperature during simulated ureteroscopy
Objective To compare the temperature changes with laser activation when providing irrigation with a pressure bag vs a fluid management system (FMS). Materials and Methods Benchtop experiments were performed with a LithoVue™ Elite (Boston Scientific Corp., Marlborough, MA, USA) flexible ureteroscope placed through an 11/13‐F ureteric access sheath into ...

During development, the oxygen‐sensitive transcription factor Zeb2 restrains astrocyte proliferation and maturation to ensure balanced retinal angiogenesis. In disease, it promotes the neurotoxic A1 astrocyte phenotype and inflammation, thereby promoting reparative revascularization over pathological neovascularization.

Vine proliferation is a widespread consequence of tropical forest disturbance, yet its effects on ground‐level predator–prey interactions remain poorly understood. Using plasticine caterpillars deployed on the rainforest floor in north Queensland, Australia, we show that overall predation rates were unaffected by vine‐to‐tree ratio. Instead, fine‐scale
