Stability lies in flowers: Plant diversification mediating shifts in arthropod food webs.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Arthropod community composition in agricultural landscapes is dependent on habitat characteristics, such as plant composition, landscape homogeneity and the presence of key resources, which are usually absent in monocultures.

Implications of floral resources for predation by an omnivorous lacewing

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2008
Understanding the relationship between a predator and its prey requires consideration of the other food resources used by the predator. In the case of true omnivores, these include plant-provided foods such as leaf tissue and nectar. The presence of plant resources can increase or decrease predation depending on the degree to which they are ...

High‐Efficiency Precipitate Recycling Strategy Paves the Way for Efficient Sb2S3 Solar Cells Fabricated by CBD Method

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel PR strategy was proposed to improve CBD‐derived Sb2S3 film quality. It synergistically optimized the CBO of CdS/Sb2S3 interface and the back‐contact barrier, while the VS2 donor defect was converted into SSb2 acceptor defect with lower concentration.

Lightweight, Elastic Ceramic Fabrics for Broadband Electromagnetic Absorption and High Temperature Thermal Insulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reports lightweight, elastic ceramic fabrics with broadband electromagnetic absorption (EAB = 9.8 GHz) and high‐temperature thermal insulation, enabled by precise microstructural control during ultrafast high‐temperature sintering (UHS), which induces the precipitation of defect‐rich t‐ZrO2 nanograins and turbostratic C nanoclusters.

SiDT1 Defines Plant Architecture Reminiscent of Green Revolution in Foxtail Millet

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
SiDT1 encodes a GA3‐oxidase that creates a semi‐dwarf, lodging‐resistant architecture reminiscent of the rice Green Revolution. The resulting ideotype performs well under dense planting and provides a valuable genetic resource for high‐yield, mechanized foxtail millet production. ABSTRACT Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) is a drought‐tolerant C4 cereal

Two‐Dimensional Quaternary Alloys of (RuMoVNb)Se2 for Superior Hydrogen Evolution Reaction Catalysis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Composition‐tuned (RuMoVNb)Se2 quaternary alloy nanosheets are synthesized via colloidal reactions. Incorporation of Ru into (MoVNb)Se2 ternary alloys results in more metallic electronic structures and significantly enhances their electrocatalytic activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) under alkaline, acidic, and neutral conditions.

ABCABC Stacking‐Enabled Non‐Centrosymmetry 3R‐ZnIn2S4 Nanosheets for Piezocatalytic Uranium Extraction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The ABCABC stacking sequence in 2D ZnIn2S4 nanosheets creates intrinsic non‐centrosymmetry, enabling robust piezocatalysis under weak mechanical agitation. The nanosheets achieve a H2O2 yield of 276.7 µmol g−1 h−1 and uranium extraction capacity of 763.2 mg g−1 via a dual mechanism of direct piezoreduction and in situ H2O2 complexation.
