Finite population effects on optimal communication for social foragers [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Foraging is crucial for animals to survive. Many species forage in groups, as individuals communicate to share information about the location of available resources. For example, eusocial foragers, such as honey bees and many ants, recruit members from their central hive or nest to a known foraging site.

Foraging activity by the southern brown bandicoot (Isoodon obesulus) as a mechanism for soil turnover [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Mammals that forage for food by biopedturbation can alter the biotic and abiotic characteristics of their habitat, influencing ecosystem structure and function.

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

open access: yesProceedings 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.

Brain‐Wide Neuroregenerative Gene Therapy Improves Cognition in a Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
NeuroD1 mediates brain‐wide astrocyte‐to‐neuron gene therapy conversion in 5xFAD mouse brain. Regenerated neurons can fire action potentials and integrate into pre‐existing neural networks, ultimately improving cognition in AD mice. Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive and irreversible brain disorder with extensive neuronal loss in the ...

The development of foraging organization

open access: yesAttention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2021
In foraging tasks multiple targets must be found within a single display. The targets can be of one or more types, typically surrounded by numerous distractors. Visual attention has traditionally been studied with single target search tasks but adding more targets to the search display results in several additional measures of interest, such as how ...

Covert deformed wing virus infections have long-term deleterious effects on honeybee foraging and survival

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2017
Several studies have suggested that covert stressors can contribute to bee colony declines. Here we provide a novel case study and show using radiofrequency identification tracking technology that covert deformed wing virus (DWV) infections in adult ...

Structural Diversity of Mitochondria in the Neuromuscular System across Development Revealed by 3D Electron Microscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Mitochondria across the entire neuromuscular system have been comprehensively reconstructed at different developmental stages using 3D electron microscopy. Fundamental structural principles related to synaptic function are preserved across development, and these morphologies are adapted to ensure effective neural circuit function.

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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Biomimetic Pyramid Structure Film for Enhancing Building Radiative Cooling

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Taking inspirations from the special surface structure of natural heat‐resistant organisms, a biomimetic micro‐pyramid‐shaped radiative cooling film is fabricated by integrating high dielectric constant materials with polymers. The resulting film boasts a solar reflectance of 97.3%, an exceeding 98% infrared light emission within the atmospheric window
