Segmented Gurney Flaps for Improved Wind Turbine Wake Recovery
ABSTRACT When wind passes through the rotor of a wind turbine, the velocity is decreased while turbulence is increased. The region of decreased wind speed behind the rotor is known as the wind turbine wake and is bounded by a complex structure of helical vortices. This structure occurs to be more stable in low ambient turbulence and low tip speed ratio

Devouring the Invaders: The Racial‐Ecological Politics of the Chinese Crayfish Trade in Kenya
ABSTRACT This article examines entanglements of ecology, race, and foodways at Lake Naivasha in Kenya. Nonnative Louisiana red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), first introduced to Kenya in the 1960s, were once viewed as invasive but are now sought after as a delicacy among Kenya's Chinese community.

doublesex regulates sexual dimorphism in elytral color patterns of Harmonia axyridis by downregulating the color patterning gene h in males. This regulatory link diverged in derived color morphs, coinciding with the loss of sex‐specific elytral color patterns.

Photic Niche Explains Avian Behavioral Responses to Solar Eclipses
Most bird species—except for those that are adapted for activity under dim conditions—were less likely to vocalize during the maximum of a total solar eclipse, whereas an annular eclipse reaching only 90% solar obscuration did not lead to behavioral effects. ABSTRACT Solar eclipses rapidly alter abiotic conditions and thus represent natural experiments

We outline the diversity of pests, weeds and plant pathogens absent from New Zealand that threaten forage production, examine their potential import pathways, and outline the challenges of managing them should they arrive. The number and diversity of threats and pathways indicates ongoing incursions are inevitable.

Neurons, immune cells, and other cellular components within the disease microenvironment (such as stromal cells and tumor cells) constitute a dynamically evolving ecosystem. Neurons directly modulate immune cell activity and inflammatory responses through the release of neurotransmitters (e.g., norepinephrine and CGRP), while also promoting tumor ...

The Asymmetric Hydrodynamic Structure of a Wind‐Dominated River Plume
Abstract This study investigates the velocity and salinity structure of the large surface‐attached, low‐latitude, and microtidal plume of the Magdalena River (southern Caribbean Sea) during a period of high freshwater discharge and variable wind conditions. The plume was analyzed through observations at multiple transects along, across, and diagonal to
