Bridging Performance and Fate: A Framework for Sustainable, Composite‐Based Flexible Electronic Systems

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Composite‐based flexible electronics integrate biodegradable polymers, conductive networks, and multilayer device architectures to balance electrical performance, mechanical durability, and controlled degradation. Interfacial engineering and encapsulation regulate transport stability and operational lifetime, while programmed disassembly enables ...

Nonhost species reduce parasite infection in a focal host species within experimental fish communities

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The dilution effect describes the negative association between host biodiversity and the risk of infectious disease. Tests designed to understand the relative roles of host species richness, host species identity, and rates of exposure within ...

Hemiparasitic Castilleja presence is correlated with increased plant biodiversity across montane plant communities

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Root hemiparasites form haustoria in belowground roots of hosts to extract nutrients and water from the surrounding hosts. Through parasitic symbiosis, these plants disproportionately affect plant communities relative to their abundance by reducing host size, altering nutrient flow, and eventually increasing local biodiversity.

When discovery meets neglect: rethinking disease emergence in cutaneous leishmaniasis and other neglected tropical diseases

Frontiers in Tropical Diseases
Recent reports of Leishmania donovani causing cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in Nepal have revived a key question in disease ecology: when does a disease truly emerge, and when is it simply newly recognized?

Seasonality and host-parasite interrelationship of Hysterothylacium aduncum (Nematoda) in whiting Merlangius merlangus off the southern and northern coasts of the Black Sea

Helminthologia, 2016
In the present study, we investigated the comparative infection levels, ecology and host-parasite interrelationship of a nematode Hysterothylacium aduncum (Rudolphi, 1802) in whiting, Merlangius merlangus (L., 1758) in southern (Sinop) and northern ...

Nanostructured Deep Eutectic Systems in Healthcare: From Bioactive Solvents to Intelligent Biointerfaces, Wearables, and AI‐Driven Design

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Beyond the green solvent paradigm, this review redefines Deep Eutectic Systems (DES) as programmable supramolecular nanoassemblies. We survey their biomedical convergence: stabilizing thermolabile mRNA to enable cold chain‐free logistics, reshaping transdermal microneedle delivery, enabling long‐term wearables via eutectogels, and utilizing Generative ...

Larval fish can be a freshwater mussel host

Journal of Freshwater Ecology
North American freshwater mussels (Order Unionida, Families Margaritiferidae and Unionidae) are a diverse group of invertebrates with many species threatened by extirpation or extinction.

Plasticity in transmission strategies of the malaria parasite, Plasmodium chabaudi: environmental and genetic effects

Evolutionary Applications, 2013
Parasites may alter their behaviour to cope with changes in the within‐host environment. In particular, investment in transmission may alter in response to the availability of parasite resources or host immune responses.

Sleeping site ecology, but not sex, affect ecto- and hemoparasite risk, in sympatric, arboreal primates (Avahi occidentalis and Lepilemur edwardsi)

Frontiers in Zoology, 2017
Background A central question in evolutionary parasitology is to what extent ecology impacts patterns of parasitism in wild host populations. In this study, we aim to disentangle factors influencing the risk of parasite exposure by exploring the impact ...

The ecology and evolution of microsporidian parasites

Parasitology, 2009
SUMMARYThe phylum Microspora is ancient and diverse and affects a wide range of hosts. There is unusually high use of vertical transmission and this has significant consequences for transmission and pathogenicity. Vertical transmission is associated with low pathogenesis but nevertheless can have significant impact through associated traits such as sex
