Siral‐HPW‐Supported Pd and Ru Catalysts Evaluation for Glycerol Upgrading
MSiralHPW (M = Ru, Pd, and PdRu) catalysts are active in glycerol hydrogenolysis. Metal (Ru > Pd) and precursor (Cl− > NO3−) influences were verified. Promoting effect of RuO2 reduction by Pd did not influence the metallic dispersion. Residual chlorine promoted acidic sites suitable for the formation of 1,3‐PDO.

Quasielastic neutron scattering disentangles BH4− and NH2− reorientations from Li+ diffusion through the solid framework and captures long‐range BH4− translation upon melting. These findings establish a unified molecular picture of localized and diffusive motions, clarifying the dynamic landscape of ionic transport in Li4(BH4)(NH2)3.

Potentially toxic metal(loid)s (PTMs) bioaccumulated across a plant‐herbivore‐predator food chain. Irrespective of soil concentrations, female crickets actively selected PTM‐enriched leaves, while predatory mantids showed no developmental impairment. Trophic transfer of PTMs was rather influenced more by a function of intrinsic species traits than by ...

A first look at the biodiversity of praying mantids (Insecta: Mantodea) in Sabah, Borneo
Light-trapping was conducted in February and March 2003 near Kinabalu Park and in the Danum Valley Conservation Area in Sabah, Malaysia. During 18 sample nights a total of 106 praying mantids, comprising 28 species, were collected in three different ...

Redescription of Stagmomantis hebardi (Mantodea: Mantidae), with the description of the female
The genus Stagmomantis Saussure, 1869 comprises a group of New World mantids whose taxonomic delimitation and composition have been challenging due to complex morphological variation.

Postembryonic development of the predatory strike mechanics in a praying mantis (Insecta: Mantodea)
Praying mantis forelegs capture prey using specific kinematic and kinetic traits that change in size and morphology during postembryonic growth and sexual dimorphism influences these dynamics. Strike forces grow hyperallometrically with body weight; larger mantises show longer strike durations, slower joint angular velocities and increased tibia ...

From myth to knowledge: public perception of native and alien praying mantids in Italy and its implications for conservation (Insecta: Mantodea) [PDF]
A sociological survey assessed public perception and knowledge of praying mantids in Italy (n = 222). Although mantids show higher popularity than most insects, persistent misconceptions rooted in cultural myths remain widespread.
