CMOS‐Integrated Synaptic Photoreceptor Chip Inspired by Insect Visual Processing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CMOS‐integrated Si QDs/ReS2 synaptic photoreceptor array mimics the parallel processing and wavelength‐selective strategy of insect vision. By combining intrinsic ultraviolet‐violet sensitivity with synaptic plasticity, the chip enables frontend sensory redundancy reduction without external filters, offering a scalable pathway toward lowpower ...

Exploring the evolution of a trade-off between vigilance and foraging in group-living organisms

, 2014
Despite the fact that grouping behavior has been actively studied for over a century, the relative importance of the numerous proposed fitness benefits of grouping remain unclear.

Markets Mitigate Land‐Use Competition From Energy Crops and Increase Farm Revenues

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Meeting the US Sustainable Aviation Fuel Grand Challenge target of 35 billion gal annually by 2050 will require an estimated 380 million–700 million dry tons of agricultural biomass feedstock. This study evaluates the implications of large‐scale biomass production for land use, crop production, and market outcomes under mature market ...

Ray bioturbation rates suggest they shape estuary processes

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation
Bioturbation of sediments is a key ecosystem service in estuarine and marine ecosystems, and rays (superorder Batoidea: skates, stingrays, electric rays and shovelnose rays) are among the largest bioturbators, modifying their habitat through foraging and

Free-range pigs foraging on Jerusalem artichokes [PDF]

, 2013
Free-range pig production in Northern Europe is characterized by high inputs of concentrate on grassland. This increases risk of nutrient leaching, increases feed costs and puts a pressure on land resources.

The Use of Sound Recorders to Remotely Measure Grass Intake Behaviour in Horses

Animals
Visual observation to record grass intake is time-consuming and labour-intensive. Technological methods, such as activity monitors, have been used but only record head position.

On food composition and foraging ecology of the Western Yellow Wagtail (Motacilla flava) in Western Slovakia

Tichodroma, 2022
The Western Yellow Wagtail (Motacilla flava) is typical species of agricultural landscapes, where the food supply is significantly limited. The nestling diet composition and its foraging ecology are little known in the entire range. Therefore, we studied

Echolocation activity of harbour porpoises, Phocoena phocoena, shows seasonal artificial reef attraction despite elevated noise levels close to oil and gas platforms

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2021
Harbour porpoises frequently alter their behaviour in response to underwater sound from shipping, seismic surveys, drilling and marine renewables. Less well understood is the response of porpoises to sounds emitted from oil and gas (O&G) platforms during
