Sex Ratio Modulates Reproductive Output and Dung Burying Behavior in Dung Beetle Gymnopleurus sturmi (Macleay, 1821) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)

Ecology and Evolution
Dung beetles are important ecosystem engineers as they play an important role in recycling faces from animals. Dung beetles have evolved different behaviors, including dung ball rolling for their egg and developing offspring.

Design Strategies and Emerging Applications of High‐Performance Flexible Piezoresistive Pressure Sensors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Flexible piezoresistive pressure sensors underpin wearable and soft electronics. This review links sensing physics, including contact resistance modulation, quantum tunneling and percolation, to unified materials/structure design. We highlight composite and graded architectures, interfacial/porous engineering, and microstructured 3D conductive networks

Biologging to identify nesting and non-nesting emergences for four species of imperiled sea turtles

Frontiers in Marine Science
Quantifying sea turtle nesting behavior is essential for recovery planning and evaluating management actions. Traditional monitoring approaches, based on nest counts from beach surveys, can misclassify non-nesting emergences, obscure true fecundity, and ...

Competition of Orbital Antiferromagnetism With Q-Triplet-Pairing in the Ferromagnetic Superconductor UGe$_2$

, 2003
Within a multicomponent BCS-like framework we study the coexistence and competition of various CDW and SC order parameters in the presence of a strong ferromagnetic background.

Model‐Driven Optimization of Subcutaneous Polymer Prodrugs Achieves Cancer Remission in Mice

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) model was developed to evaluate multiple dosing regimens for subcutaneously administered water‐soluble polymer prodrug for cancer therapy. The model enabled prediction of in vivo performance and contributed to the optimization of anticancer efficacy.

Bottom‐Up Programming of Cell States in Cancer Organoids with Defined Synthetic Adhesion Cues

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A bottom‐up biomaterial platform is developed to program transcriptomic states in pancreatic cancer organoids by tuning adhesion cues within synthetic matrices. By combining a Design of Experiments framework with multiobjective optimization, matrix compositions are identified that enrich specific cellular programs like EMT.

Occurrence and nesting behavior of social wasps in an anthropized environment

Sociobiology, 2019
Some effort had been made concerning the social biodiversity of wasps in Brazil; however, few approaches have been made relating to how this taxa have adapted their nesting behavior to anthropic mixed environments.

Gapless Superconductivity From Extremely Dilute Magnetic Disorder in 2H‐NbSe2‐xSx

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that 2H‐NbSe2‐xSx hosts gapless superconductivity at unexpectedly low magnetic impurity concentrations. Combining STM, Bogoliubovde Gennes simulations, DFT, and quasiparticle interference, we comprehensively study the development of gapless behavior and show that SeS substitution reshapes the band structure, enhances nesting, and drives ...

A surveillance camera reveals season-long nesting activities and behaviors at a nest of the Northern Black Swift (Cypseloides niger borealis)

Journal of Field Ornithology, 2022
This study employed a high-resolution camera to capture a visual record of an active Northern Black Swift (Cypseloides niger borealis) nest throughout an entire breeding season to document nesting activities and behaviors which are incompletely known in ...
