Behavioural correlations and aggression in praying mantids [PDF]

Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2020
AbstractDistinct behaviours can co-vary within individuals. As such, the magnitude of certain behaviours may be partly predicted by other behaviours, rather than the environment. This can constrain behaviours, potentially reducing behavioural variability.

Ionic Precursors Transformed Into Vinyl Acetate Synthesis Catalyst via Reaction‐Driven Restructuring

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates that a simple physical mixture of Pd and Au ionic precursors, KOAc promoter, and SiO2 support can transform into a highly active vinyl acetate synthesis catalyst through reaction‐driven restructuring. The results highlight reaction‐induced restructuring as an innovative and sustainable catalyst design strategy.

Strong Lead‐Free Bioinspired Piezoceramics for Durable Energy Transducers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We fabricated brick‐and‐mortar lead‐free piezoceramics with Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 monocrystal platelets as bricks and amorphous silica as mortar. The alignment of the bricks and the presence of the amorphous silica led to anisotropic residual stresses. These residual stresses increase the samples toughness, strength and durability while the brick alignment ...

The behavioral repertoire of Drosophila melanogaster in the presence of two predator species that differ in hunting mode.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, has proven to be an excellent model organism for genetic, genomic and neurobiological studies. However, relatively little is known about the natural history of D. melanogaster.

Atomic Tuning of Metal‐Support Interactions for Pathway‐Selective CO2 Photoreduction on TiO2

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Single‐atom Fe and Cu catalysts anchored on TiO2 steer photocatalytic CO2 reduction toward distinct pathways. Fe sites favor rapid *CO desorption and selective CO formation, whereas Cu sites stabilize *CHO intermediates, enabling deep reduction and C─C coupling. Combined spectroscopy and DFT calculations reveal how metal–support interactions and oxygen

First Records of the Genus Holaptilon (Mantodea: Gonypetidae: Gonypetinae) from Pakistan and Iraq Based on Citizen Science Observations [PDF]

نامه انجمن حشره‌شناسی ایران
The dwarf mantid genus Holaptilon Beier, 1964, is a group of small, apterous, ground-dwelling mantids distributed across the Middle East, with species described mainly from Israel, Jordan, Iran, and Turkey. Here, I present the first records of Holaptilon

Predation experiment with mantids

, 2017
This data set contains survival (yes or no) of female and male D. melanogaster under predation by juvenile mantids). Survival of control lines (Control1-5) and lines selected for increased heat resistance (Heat1-5) was scored after 0, 1 and 2 generations

Correlated Polymer‐Proton Hopping Enables Water‐Independent Fast Proton Transport in Poly(Ionic Liquid) Membranes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A polymer chain in motion: backbone, ring, and counterion dynamics interlock across timescales to relay protons through poly(ionic liquid) membranes. ABSTRACT Polymer electrolyte membranes composed of ionic liquids (IL), capable of conducting protons efficiently at elevated temperatures, without external humidification, could transform fuel cell ...

Inhibition of pain or response to injury in invertebrates and vertebrates

Animal Sentience, 2020
In certain situations, insects appear to lack a response to noxious stimuli that would cause pain in humans. For example, from the fact that male mantids continue to mate while being eaten by their partner it does not follow that insects do not feel pain;

Decoupling Chemical and Mechanical Contributions to Capacity Fading in Ni‐Rich Cathodes for Sulfide‐Based All‐Solid‐State Batteries

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Ni‐rich cathodes in sulfide‐based ASSBs undergo intertwined (electro)chemical and mechanical degradation. Here, a new diagnostic framework is presented to decouple each contribution by partitioning capacity fading into charge and discharge fading.
