Closed‐Loop Bioelectronic Artificial Pancreas Patch for Continuous Monitoring and Regulation of Blood Glucose in Diabetic Rats and Pigs

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A closed‐loop bioelectronic artificial pancreas patch is presented for glucose monitoring and regulation. Utilizing transiently dissolvable microneedle arrays integrated with microtube arrays, the patch efficiently delivers insulin into interstitial fluid, eliminating the need for external long needles. In diabetic pigs, it demonstrates excellent blood

The role of dopamine in foraging decisions in social insects

Frontiers in Insect Science
Animals often need to make decisions about whether to confront risks, and climate change is making these decisions even more critical by increasing environmental stress.

Movement Mechanisms Harness Lévy Flight for Energy‐Efficient Wastewater Treatment in Microalgae–Bacteria Systems

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Here, our novel model that integrates metabolism with motility dynamics reveals that microalgae shift bacterial movement toward Lévy flight patterns, enhancing encounter rates and self‐aggregation. This microecological manipulation reduces energy costs, strengthens functions such as pollutant removal and system stability.

The Role of Experience in the Visual and Non-Visual Prey Recognition of Fire Salamander Populations from Caves and Streams

Diversity
The study of foraging behaviour is crucial for understanding several ecological and adaptive processes, as well as for developing conservation measures. While extensive research has been completed on birds and mammals, few studies have been conducted on ...

Investigating the impacts of field‐realistic exposure to a neonicotinoid pesticide on bumblebee foraging, homing ability and colony growth

Journal of Applied Ecology, 2016
Summary The ability to forage and return home is essential to the success of bees as both foragers and pollinators. Pesticide exposure may cause behavioural changes that interfere with these processes, with consequences for colony persistence and ...

T2T Genomes Unveil Centromere Architecture and Adaptive Divergence in Large Yellow Croaker (Larimichthys crocea)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents telomere‐to‐telomere genome assemblies for two populations of Larimichthys crocea. We identified centromere‐specific tandem repeats invaded by LTR/ERV1 retrotransposons, unique 5S rRNA enrichment patterns, and population‐specific structural variants. Comparative genomic analyses further reveal distinct adaptive mechanisms in the MYD

Effects of flow speed and prey density on the rate and efficiency of prey capture in zooplanktivorous coral-reef fishes

Frontiers in Marine Science
Holling’s classical functional response model describes the mechanistic foundations of the relationships between predation rate and prey density. As such, the model is pertinent to predators that actively search for prey, but not to stationary predators ...

Effects of age and reproductive status on individual foraging site fidelity in a long-lived marine predator

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2017
Individual foraging specializations, where individuals use a small component of the population niche width, are widespread in nature with important ecological and evolutionary implications.
