Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.For the first time, a highly sensitive electrochemical biosensor based on SiO2‐based hairy particles with a grafted PDMAEMA polymer brush containing a quantifiable and large amount of immobilized Laccase is reported. The fabricated biosensor exhibits a sensitivity of 0.14 A·m⁻¹, a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.1 µm, and a detection range of 0.3–750 µm,

Journal of Plant InteractionsKin recognition in plants is a debated topic, with mixed evidence on whether plants can distinguish kin from non-kin and adjust their behavior accordingly.

Natural selection. VII. History and interpretation of kin selection theory [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2013 Kin selection theory is a kind of causal analysis. The initial form of kin selection ascribed cause to costs, benefits and genetic relatedness. The theory then slowly developed a deeper and more sophisticated approach to partitioning the causes of social

Clean‐Limit 2D Superconductivity in a Thick Exfoliated Kagome Film
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study reports clean‐limit 2D superconductivity in a thick kagome system, analogous to the 3D case. It observes a drop in superfluid stiffness near the superconducting transition and a cusp‐like feature in the angular dependence of the upper critical field.

Shift in beneficial interactions during crop evolution
Evolutionary Applications, 2022 Plant domestication can be viewed as a form of co‐evolved interspecific mutualism between humans and crops for the benefit of the two partners. Here, we ask how this plant–human mutualism has, in turn, impacted beneficial interactions within crop species,

Persistence pays: how viruses promote host group survival. [PDF]
, 2009 Recently, we have realized that viruses numerically dominate all life. Although viruses are known to affect host survival in populations, this has not been previously evaluated in the context of host group selection.

Biomimetic Iridescent Skin: Robust Prototissues Spontaneously Assembled from Photonic Protocells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Uniform nanoparticles are induced to form arrays (photonic crystals) in the cores of biopolymer capsules, endowing these ‘protocells’ with structural color. These protocells are then assembled into large self‐standing objects, i.e., prototissues, with robust mechanical properties as well as iridescent optical properties.

Extraordinary siblings: Mole rats, marmosets, and Radcliffe-Brown.
PLoS ONEAccording to the theory of kin selection, an organism that shows some level of altruism toward her kin - lowering her own fitness, raising that of a close genetic relative - may enjoy an evolutionary advantage.
