Abstract Understanding the mechanisms shaping food chain length (FCL) has long been central to food web ecology. FCL is a key determinant of stability, energy flow efficiency, and biodiversity maintenance, but there is an ongoing debate about its underlying drivers.

Micro computed tomography (µCT) scans allow a 3D reconstruction of characters otherwise hidden in fossil amber specimens. In this study we reveal the male copulatory legs (gonopods) retracted into the body, and other important morphological characters ...

Micromachined capacitive displacement sensor for long-range nano-positioning [PDF]
Integrated long-range position sensing with high accuracy will be of paramount importance for high-potential applications in a.o. future probe-based datastorage and microscopy applications [1], provided that nm position accuracy can be obtained over a ...

Agro‐biofortification using micronutrient‐rich organic waste products combined with local beneficial microorganisms and mycorrhizal fungi substantially enhanced iron and zinc concentrations in cowpea. Across contrasting seasons, this integrated approach increased Fe by up to 48% in grains and 259% in haulms, and Zn by up to 28% in grains and 265% in ...

Sowbugs, pillbugs, millipedes and centipedes (2007) [PDF]
Sowbugs and pillbugs are closely related to shrimp, crabs and lobsters. Although they may occasionally invade the home, they normally prefer moist areas outdoors at the soil surface in mulched flowerbeds, leaf litter, grass clippings and other debris ...

Beyond mechanics: Maximum‐likelihood‐driven PET detector alignment calibration
Abstract Background Accurate quantification is a cornerstone of positron‐emission tomography (PET), yet mechanical inaccuracies during detector assembly continue to undermine this goal. Deviations from intended design geometries arise due to factors such as manufacturing tolerances, mechanical stress, and cumulative errors during module installation ...
