Antbears and underground melons: A highly specialized seed dispersal mutualism mediated by scent
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Seed dispersal is critical for the establishment and persistence of populations of most plant species. We investigated the seed dispersal biology of an African melon, Cucumis humifructus, which is closely related to cultivated cucumbers and watermelons but differs in that it buries its fruits deep underground.

Interdisciplinary approaches to enhance sensory properties and consumer acceptance in pulse crops
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Enhancing the flavor profile of pulse crops such as chickpea, dry pea, and lentil is essential for increasing human acceptance of plant‐based diets. Despite their nutritional value, undesirable sensory attributes of pulses, including off‐flavors and bitterness, reduce consumer acceptance.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.The forest pest Ips typographus was found to demonstrate attraction to Sitka spruce, and to colonize and breed upon cut logs as successfully as its primary host Norway spruce. This has implications for the beetle's establishment and impact in Sitka‐growing regions, including Britain where I.

Ligand Recognition and Function of TAARs
Sensory Neuroscience, EarlyView.The trace amine‐associated receptor (TAAR) family represents a highly conserved group of G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) in vertebrates. TAARs specifically bind to different amine ligands and mediate a variety of physiological and behavioral processes.

Sensory Neuroscience, EarlyView.Sweeteners in aerosol form trigger retro‐nasal sensations that modulate early (P1) and late (P3) brain responses. EEG recordings reveal that sucrose and rebaudioside A elicit distinct ERP components only when retro‐nasal airflow is permitted, supporting aerosol‐based taste–smell integration and suggesting involvement of both top‐down and bottom‐up ...

Small, EarlyView.Intranasal delivery of acyl‐ghrelin using gold nanorods (AuNRs) is investigated as a strategy for treating neurodegenerative diseases. Acyl‐ghrelin is conjugated to AuNRs under optimized conditions that preserve its bioactivity and prevent nanoparticle cross‐linking.
