Advanced Science, EarlyView.A Molecular Solar Thermal (MOST) system combining a scalable norbornadiene–quadricyclane photoswitch, a biodegradable solvent, propylene carbonate, and noble and first‐row metal catalysts, is presented. Propylene carbonate boosts photoisomerization quantum yield by 25% compared to toluene, prolongs energy storage by an additional 15 days, and enables ...

Growing degree‐days do not explain moth species' distributions at broad scales
EcosphereGrowing degree‐days (GDD), an estimate of an organism's growing season length, has been shown to be an important predictor of Lepidopteran species' distributions and could be influencing Lepidopteran range shifts to climate change.

Hierarchical Organization of Biomaterials in the Formation of Photonic Nanostructures
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Natural organisms create vibrant structural colors through precisely organized nanostructures formed under mild biological conditions. This review explores how cellulose, chitin, corneous beta‐protein, and melanin form complex nanostructures across molecular, mesoscale, and tissue levels.

Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Native plants offer a variety of aesthetic (e.g., fall colour, fruit, flowers) and functional benefits (e.g., pollinator friendly, wildlife friendly, water management). How these benefits influence consumer choice and perceived value of native versus introduced plants is not well understood.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Inspired by the Mexican jumping bean, this study presents a centimeter‐scale, electronics‐free robot that merges principles from both the animal and plant kingdoms. A thermo‐responsive actuator mimicking larval motion, enclosed within a uniquely shaped plant‐seed‐inspired shell, generates jumping, rolling, flipping, sliding, and climbing through ...

Floral traits and hermaphrodite abundance shape female advantage in a gynodioecious plant
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Gynodioecy is maintained through female advantage in seed fitness that depends on the sex ratio of a population. We hypothesized that females of Silene acaulis would exhibit floral traits associated with elevated outcross pollination and that sex ratio would impact pollen limitation and inbreeding depression such that female advantage ...

A new species of Reticulana from the Bismarck Archipelago (Lepidoptera: Erebidae)
Fragmenta entomologica, 2022 Reticulana sculpta sp. n., a second species of the hitherto monobasic genus Reticulana, is described from New Ireland (Bismarck Archipelago). The new species is similar to the congener R.
