A DNA barcode library for ground beetles (Insecta, Coleoptera, Carabidae) of Germany: The genus Bembidion Latreille, 1802 and allied taxa

ZooKeys, 2016
As molecular identification method, DNA barcoding based on partial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI) sequences has been proven to be a useful tool for species determination in many insect taxa including ground beetles.

Underground Signals: The Ecological Power of Root Volatiles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Root volatiles mediate rhizosphere chemical communication, shaping interactions among plants, microbes, herbivores, and natural enemies. Their production, transport, and perception underpin ecological adaptation, multitrophic interactions, and plant resilience, offering opportunities for sustainable crop protection, resilient agroecosystems, and ...

Expanding the DNA Nanotechnology Toolbox: Hierarchical Assembly and Self‐Sorting of DNA Tiles With Precisely Controlled Hydrophobic Behavior

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
DNA tile amphiphiles encode dual chemical information, directing nanostructure formation through base‐pairing and hydrophobic effects. Thermal annealing programs hierarchical assembly, with first‐formed interactions biasing the final morphology: short hydrophobic chain strands form DX‐tiles and then into stars, while long‐chain strands form SNAs and ...

Somatic Evolution of a Germline Antibody Expands its Breadth to Neutralize Early SARS‐CoV‐2 Omicron Variants

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Engineering of the 148‐germline (148‐GL) antibody reveals a roadmap for overcoming SARS‐CoV‐2 viral escape. By introducing four specific somatic hypermutations, the resulting 148‐M4 variant restores potent neutralization against Omicron BA.1 and BA.4/5.

Limited benefits of organic management and fungicide reduction to ground beetles in vineyards

Conservation Science and Practice
The use of fungicides in agriculture can reduce animal biodiversity. Such non‐target effects could be mitigated through fungus‐resistant cultivars that reduce the need for fungicide applications.

Habitat disturbance and hydrological parameters determine the body size and reproduction strategy of alluvial ground beetles

ZooKeys, 2011
Environmental variability is the main driver for the variation of biological characteristics (life-history traits) of species. Therefore, life-history traits are particularly suited to identify mechanistic linkages between environmental variability and ...

3D Printed Meter‐Scale Soft Origami Robots Capable of Load‐Bearing Actuation Via Crease Stiffness Modulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Origami has inspired numerous soft deployable mechanisms for safe human‐robot interaction, while its intrinsic kinematic instability at arbitrary configurations limited their practical robotic application. This work presents a 3D printed meter‐scale origami robotic actuator capable of load‐bearing deformation through creaseline stiffness modulation.

Stabilizing Functional Nucleic Acids for Real‐Sample Diagnostics

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Functional nucleic acids enable programmable real‐sample diagnostics, but often lose function in complex biological matrices. This review highlights four stabilization levers—chemical, topological, architectural, and microenvironment/interface engineering—that preserve aptamer and DNAzyme performance in saliva, serum, urine, and stool, reframing ...
