Ditch the niche - is the niche a useful concept in ecology or species distribution modelling?

, 2012
In this first of three papers we examine the use of niche concepts in ecology and especially in species distribution modelling (SDM). This paper deliberately focuses on the lack of clarity found in the term niche. Because its meanings are so diverse, the

Neuromorphic Electronics for Intelligence Everywhere: Emerging Devices, Flexible Platforms, and Scalable System Architectures

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The perspective presents an integrated view of neuromorphic technologies, from device physics to real‐time applicability, while highlighting the necessity of full‐stack co‐optimization. By outlining practical hardware‐level strategies to exploit device behavior and mitigate non‐idealities, it shows pathways for building efficient, scalable, and ...

Niche-based approach to explore the impacts of environmental disturbances on biodiversity

Globally, species are increasingly at risk from compounding threatening processes, an increasingly prominent driver of which is environmental disturbances.

Living on the edge : modelling habitat suitability for species at the edge of their fundamental niche

, 2008
Predictive species distribution models have become increasingly common in conservation management. Among them, envelope-based approaches like the Ecological Niche Factor Analysis (ENFA) are particularly advantageous, as they require only presence data ...

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

Mechanoactive Biomaterials for Cell–Matrix Mechanotransduction

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract shows how individual triggers (force, light, or temperature) and combined optothermal or receptor‐targeted actuation induce material responses at the tissue, cellular, and receptor scales. Their spatial (global or focused) and temporal (continuous or cyclic) modulation determines the resulting mechanical output.

Graph neural networks as strategic transport modelling alternative ‐ A proof of concept for a surrogate

IET Intelligent Transport Systems
Practical applications of graph neural networks (GNNs) in transportation are still a niche field. There exists a significant overlap between the potential of GNNs and the issues in strategic transport modelling.

Climate as a Predictive Factor for Invasion: Unravelling the Range Dynamics of Carpomya vesuviana Costa

Insects
Invasive alien species (IAS) significantly affect global native biodiversity, agriculture, industry, and human health. Carpomya vesuviana Costa, 1854 (Diptera: Tephritidae), a significant global IAS, affects various date species, leading to substantial ...

Strategic Niche Management (SNM) beyond sustainability. An exploration of key findings of SNM through the lens of ICT and privacy [PDF]

Recently the governance of socio-technical transitions to sustainability is gaining attention in the field of innovation studies. One particular approach is that of Strategic Niche Management (SNM), which advocates the creation of protected space to ...

Mechanically‐Driven Reconstruction of Lithium Metal for Stable All‐Solid‐State Batteries

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Mechanical reconstruction reorganizes commercial Li from surface to bulk by refining surface topography, renewing the native passivation layer, and establishing a strongly (200)‐preferred texture. Native‐passivation renewal promotes interfacial Li‐ion transport, whereas texture homogenization regulates the spatial distribution of Li flux and supports ...
