Grain opacity and the bulk composition of extrasolar planets. I. Results from scaling the ISM opacity [PDF]
The opacity due to grains in the envelope of a protoplanet regulates the accretion rate of gas during formation, thus the final bulk composition of planets with primordial H/He is a function of it.

It is cool to be clear: Transparency induces a thermal cost in clearwing butterflies
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In butterflies, wing transparency raises the question of potential costs for vital functions, such as thermoregulation. The thermal melanism hypothesis posits that darker colorations enable higher absorption of solar radiation, leading to the prediction that such ...

Distinct Intra‐ and Interspecific Foraging Patterns of Stingless Bee Species as a Conservation Tool
In this study, we examined the foraging patterns of three rescued stingless bee species in the Bolivian Yungas using melissopalynology and plant–pollinator network analysis. We found distinct floral foraging patterns both within and among three stingless bee species in the Bolivian Yungas, suggesting niche partitioning at multiple levels.
