Selective interactions between short-distance pollen and seed dispersal in self-compatible species. [PDF]
, 2006 In plants, genes may disperse through both pollen and seeds. Here we provide a first theoretical study of the mechanisms and consequences of the joint evolution of pollen and seed dispersal.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.The release of foulers from protective marine coatings is determined by several interrelated material properties, including the strength of Young's modulus, the flexibility of chain segments, the surface free energy, and the magnitude of hydrodynamic stress.

Donkeys as mobile links for plant seed dispersal in coastal dune ecosystems [PDF]
, 2005 Long-distance seed dispersal is a key factor in vegetation dynamics, especially in highly dynamic ecosystems such as dune landscapes. To assess the role of large herbivores in long-distance seed dispersal in dunes, we examined epi- and endozoochory by ...

Notes on the amphipacific relations of Hawaiian Cladoniaceae [PDF]
, 1993 The total number of currently accepted species of Cladoniaceae in the Hawaiian Islands is 22. Several taxonomic problems still exist, however. The effects of isolation are clear among Cladoniaceae. Endemism is high (c.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study explores the lightweight potential of laser additive‐manufactured NiTi triply periodic minimal surface sheet lattices. It systematically investigates the effects of relative density and unit cell size on surface quality, deformation recovery, compression behavior, and energy absorption.

Duplex Stainless Steel Laser‐Surface Textured: Stability in Brine Solution
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Controlled laser‐surface treatment (LST) of duplex DSS2205 steel is performed to increase its stability in brine solution under cyclic electrochemical assays. The superior protection with respect to flat and smooth panels is attributed to the presence of FeCr2O4 as the main protective oxide layer in the LST surface, after corrosion tests. The stability

Belize Barrier Reef Transect: How Far Do Coral Reef Fish Larvae Travel In Marine Currents? [PDF]
, 2011 The vast majority of coral reef fishes go through a pelagic larval stage, which provides potential for long-distance dispersal by marine currents. Yet planktonic larvae are notoriously difficult to track owing to their small size, and as a consequence ...

Inbreeding depresses short and long distance dispersal in three congeneric spiders [PDF]
, 2009 Dispersal is one of the most important precopulatory inbreeding avoidance mechanisms and subject to landscape related selection pressures. In small populations, inbreeding within and between populations may strongly affect population dynamics if it ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Herein, environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) is discussed as a powerful extension of conventional SEM for life sciences. By combining high‐resolution imaging with variable pressure and humidity, ESEM allows the analysis of untreated biological materials, supports in situ monitoring of hydration‐driven changes, and advances the functional ...
