Green roofs provide habitat for urban bats
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2015 Understanding bat use of human-altered habitat is critical for developing effective conservation plans for this ecologically important taxon. Green roofs, building rooftops covered in growing medium and vegetation, are increasingly important conservation

A two-stage storage routing model for green roof runoff detention [PDF]
, 2013 Green roofs have been adopted in urban drainage systems to control the total quantity and volumetric flow rate of runoff. Modern green roof designs are multi-layered, their main components being vegetation, substrate and, in almost all cases, a ...

Avian response to green roofs in urban landscapes in the Midwestern USA
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2015 Green roofs present an opportunity to provide large areas of vegetation that could serve as bird habitat in urban areas. Point‐count surveys at 12 green‐roof study locations in the midwestern United States were conducted during the bird breeding season ...

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.The cupula is a membrane within the vestibular organ that senses rotatory accelerations of the head. Metabolic glycoengineering in combination with bioorthogonal labeling demonstrates that in adult zebrafish – being a model for the human inner ear – this membrane is constantly renewed.

Soil microarthropod community dynamics in extensive green roofs [PDF]
, 2013 Green roofs are of increasing interest to ecologists, engineers and architects, as cities grow and aim to become more sustainable. They could be exploited to improve urban biodiversity and ecosystem services, yet almost nothing is known about them from a

Metamaterial Antennas Enhance MRI of the Eye and Occipital Brain
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A radiofrequency antenna platform comprising planar and bend configurations is developed, incorporating structurally integrated epsilon‐negative metamaterial unit cells to enhance MRI. These antennas enable high‐resolution in vivo human MRI of the eye, orbit, and occipital brain. Comprehensive validation, including simulations, phantom experiments, SAR,
