Small, Volume 21, Issue 30, July 29, 2025.This study presents a modular platform that integrates engineered proteins with DNA nanostructures to create dynamic, multifunctional materials. By combining orthogonal protein‐protein and protein‐DNA conjugation strategies, the authors demonstrate controlled self‐assembly into nanofibers and nanorods, along with reversible enzyme activation.

Ecological Research, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 631-643, July 2025.In this paper, we provide the dataset issued from field surveys of 2428 grid cells of 500 m × 500 m in French wetlands during springs 2021 and 2022. Such cells resulted from a stratified two‐stage sampling design. The 132,292 birds recorded in this study, together with their reproduction behavior, will be used to evaluate national breeding population ...

Sex-Linked Chocolate Coloration in in the Muscovy Duck
Poultry Science, 1970 Abstract TAIBEL (1961) in Italy reported a brownish mutant color type in the Muscovy duck, Cairina moschata, and gave it the name sepia or faiogeno, with symbol f. Simple recessive inheritance was indicated. In England, “dun” or “brown” Muscovy ducks had been known previously (Appleby, 1949), but apparently no genetic study had been made.
