Effect of exposure time vs. irradiance on knoop hardness of dental composites
A comparison was made of the hardness of Z250 and Esthet-X composites light cured with different light sources. Cavities (3 mm diameter x 6 mm deep) were prepared in 240 bovine incisors. The composite was bulk inserted and light-cured using halogen light,

Hummingbird Feeders Can Provide eDNA for Detection of Nectar‐Feeding Bats
This study monitors nectar‐feeding bats (Leptonycteris nivalis, Leptonycteris yerbabuenae, and Choeronycteris mexicana) through eDNA swabs of hummingbird feeders collected by citizen scientists. Using novel qPCR assays, we successfully detected L. yerbabuenae and C. mexicana in a grand majority of samples. Previously only known to occur in the U.S.
