Supplementary feeding of wild birds indirectly affects ground beetle populations in suburban gardens
Urban Ecosystems, 2014 Supplementary feeding of wild birds by domestic garden-holders is a globally widespread and popular form of human–wildlife interaction, particularly in urban areas. Vast amounts of energy are thus being added to garden ecosystems.

Dead Matter, Living Machines: Repurposing Crustaceans' Abdomen Exoskeleton for Bio‐Hybrid Robots
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Crustacean exoskeletons, repurposed from food waste, are engineered into sustainable bending actuators combining biotic structure with synthetic control. The augmented exoskeletons achieve rapid and robust motion with lightweight body and can be used as part of robotic manipulators, grippers and swimmers.

Guidelines for the monitoring of Lucanus cervus [PDF]
, 2017 Lucanus cervus is one of the most charismatic saproxylic beetles, widely distributed in Europe. The species is typical of mature deciduous forests, especially oak woodlands. Loss and fragmentation of suitable habitats is one of the major threats for this

Rib‐Reinforced Ultralight and Ultra‐Strong Shell Lattices
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study thoroughly reveals the relation between the curvature and stress direction of triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) thin shell lattices and proposes a novel rib reinforcement design strategy to incorporate ribs along the line of asymptotes (LOA) and the line of principal curvatures (LOC) to enhance the strength of ultralight TPMS shell ...

Ecology and Society, 2010 Increasing housing density has negative effects on native biodiversity. This implies that we should build at low density to conserve native species. However, for a given human population, low-density development must cover a large area, resulting in ...

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.A membrane‐penetrating molecular device composed of triplex containing cholesterol‐modified acyclic L‐threoninol nucleic acid (L‐aTNA) was achieved. This device is applied to a photo‐triggered signal transduction system functioning on giant unilamellar vesicles. Abstract Membrane‐penetrating molecular devices are valuable biological tools.
