ABSTRACT Caves are extreme environments that impose stringent selective pressures on organisms. Consequently, many cave dwellers show extreme adaptations such as the loss of eyes, depigmentation, and a low resting metabolic rate. Yet, how the initial stages of adaptation to these extreme environments take place remains poorly understood.

Fire Testing and Hazard Assessment for Flame Retardant Polymer Composites
Flame retardant polymer composites are now being evaluated with more than pass or fail flammability tests. Heat release, smoke, toxicity, and system‐level behavior are receiving more attention, and multi‐scale methods are being used to describe fire hazard under more realistic conditions.

Social network learning efficiency in the principal–agent relationship
Under the bounded rationality assumption, a principal rarely provides an optimal contract to an agent. Learning from others is one way to improve such a contract.

ABSTRACT Changing the status quo and promoting innovation requires individuals to speak up and engage in voice behaviour. Yet, the interactions that foster or inhibit voice remain insufficiently understood, particularly with regard to personal agency, how an individual's personality interacts with their network position to influence voice.

Abstract Intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (IHH) enhances oxygen transport, muscle metabolism, and cardiovascular health; however, the combined effects of hypobaria and cold are less well understood. Exposure to these stressful environmental factors, even intermittently, can affect skeletal muscle due to its plasticity, thereby altering its metabolic and ...

Elephant Presence Shapes Butterfly Communities in an East African Coastal Forest
Correspondence analysis of sites (a) and species (b) separated the three forest types (24 traps: yellow dots: sec + e, red: prim‐e, blue: prim + e) and the butterfly families (30 species). ABSTRACT Habitat disturbances shape the diversity and composition of plant and animal species.

ABSTRACT Controllable DNA condensation is important for nucleic‐acid packaging and non‐viral gene‐delivery systems. This study aimed to determine how the composition of mixed nonionic C12E10 and cationic gemini C12C6C12Br2 surfactants regulates DNA condensation, structure, thermodynamics, and cytotoxicity.
