Blocking Honeybee Preference for Neonicotinoids by Interfering With Dopamine Signaling

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Honeybees (Apis mellifera) paradoxically prefer nectar containing the harmful neonicotinoid thiamethoxam. This preference is associated with transient brain dopamine elevation during proboscis extension reflex (PER) responses and active feeding, and is reduced by the dopamine receptor antagonist fluphenazine.

Steps Toward Vitrification and Banking of Coral Larvae Using Field‐Friendly Cryomesh Technology

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Cryomesh enables a low‐tech cryopreservation method, adding a valuable option to the coral reef conservation toolkit. The approach reveals how size, toxicity, and developmental stage govern larval survival, while modeling links cooling and rewarming rates to a theoretical upper volume limit.

Utility of a multi-faceted approach in determining the habitat use of endangered euryhaline elasmobranchs in a remote region of northern Australia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The overriding aim of this thesis was to explore the habitat use of the critically endangered freshwater sawfish (Pristis microdon) and northern river shark (Glyphis garricki) in the remote Kimberley region of northern Western Australia. This information

Living Electronics: Microbial Metabolism as Batteries, Resistors, and Capacitors

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Three microorganisms are assigned the three elementary roles of a circuit on one sheet of paper. Dormant Bacillus subtilis spores germinate to switch the power source on; a photosynthetic Synechocystis biofilm sets resistance by the color and intensity of light; and a respiring Shewanella oneidensis biofilm stores charge. Together they form a printable

Episodic Gregariousness Leads to Level‐Dependent Core Habitats: A Case Study in Eastern Copperheads (Agkistrodon contortrix)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Characterizing the complex relationships between animals and their habitats is essential for effective wildlife conservation and management. Wildlife–habitat selection is influenced by multiple life‐history requirements, which act over varying spatial ...

Comparison of Habitat Selection Models Between Habitat Utilization Intensity and Presence–Absence Data: A Case Study of the Chinese Pangolin

open access: yesBiology
Identifying habitat characteristics is essential for conserving critically endangered species. When quantifying species habitat characteristics, ignoring data types may lead to misunderstandings about species’ specific habitat requirements.

Heterogeneity of Farmer Preferences Towards Collective Agri‐Environmental Schemes: A Latent Class Analysis for Biodiversity Conservation in Switzerland

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Collective agri‐environmental schemes offer a promising approach to improve biodiversity promotion in agriculture by providing landscape connectivity. However, how to design these schemes to foster participation in the presence of farmers' heterogeneous preferences and perceived transaction costs remains an open question.
