Joint evolution of kin recognition and cooperation in spatially structured rhizobium populations.

PLoS ONE, 2014
In the face of costs, cooperative interactions maintained over evolutionary time present a central question in biology. What forces maintain this cooperation? Two potential ways to explain this problem are spatially structured environments (kin selection)

Silicified Wood‐Inspired, High‐Strength Fire‐Resistant Chitin‐Based Aerogels for Sustainable High‐Temperature Thermal Insulation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by natural silicified wood, a biomimetic mineralized chitin‐derived aerogel is constructed. It can withstand 81 000 times its own weight, and its backside temperature is 130.4°C after exposure to ∼1300°C butane flame for 600 s, exhibiting high‐strength, fire‐resistance, and super thermal‐insulation properties.

Group selection and kin selection: two concepts but one process. [PDF]

, 2007
In a recent paper, Traulsen and Nowak use a multilevel selection model to show that cooperation can be favored by group selection in finite populations [Traulsen A, Nowak M (2006) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 103:10952-10955].

Kin recognition in plants-an ecological perspective: an overview of plant kin recognition under different resources, consequences and future challenges

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

Solution‐Processed Two‐Dimensional Indium Oxide on Sodium‐Embedded Alumina for Reconfigurable Optoelectronic Synaptic Transistors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Wafer‐scale two‐dimensioanl In2Se3 oxidized into InOx on sodium‐embedded beta‐alumina enables multifunctional reconfigurable electronics. Sodium ions accumulate within distinct spatial distribution under drain‐controlle and gate‐controlled operation. Drain‐control operation gives controllability of ultraviolet‐driven optoelectronic synaptic conductance

Kin selection: fact and fiction

, 2002
Hamilton's inclusive fitness theory represents one of the most important developments in evolutionary biology. In particular, the idea that individuals benefit from the reproduction of relatives (kin selection) has been extraordinarily successful in ...

Application of Ibuprofen Sodium Dihydrate for Thermochemical Energy Storage

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ibuprofen sodium dihydrate is introduced as a durable organic salt hydrate for low‐temperature thermochemical energy storage, operating within 60°C–110°C with high energy density. At the material level, it delivers ∼99.9% cycling efficiency over 150 cycles without deliquescence, enabled by a dual energy‐storage mechanism coupling dehydration and phase ...

Extraordinary siblings: Mole rats, marmosets, and Radcliffe-Brown.

PLoS ONE
According 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.

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,
