Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society, EarlyView.The photophysical performance of gold‐doped copper‐rich nanoclusters can be tuned by surface functionalization. Subtle ligand modification enhances intermolecular interactions, thereby reducing nonradiative decay and markedly improving photoluminescence. Comparative photographs and quantum yield values (Φ = 55% vs.

Sperm Transfer Under Behavioral and Morphological Constraints in the Orb‐Web Spider Genus Argiope
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.The polygamous mating system of the orb‐web spider genus Argiope provides a model to study the evolution of sperm transfer under morphological and behavioral constraints. This helps us to understand how male and female behavioral and morphological reproductive traits influence sperm transfer.
