Some Effects of Photoperiod and Cold Storage on Oviposition of the Cereal Leaf Beetle Oulema Melanopus (Coleptera: Chrysomelidae) [PDF]
, 2017 An expanded program of research on the cereal leaf beetle, Oulema melanopus (L.), in various north-central states has made it necessary to develop methods of rearing all stages of the beetle for laboratory use. Because the insect survives diapause in the

A functional nexus between photoperiod acclimation, torpor expression and somatic fatty acid composition in a heterothermic mammal. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The seasonal changes in thermal physiology and torpor expression of many heterothermic mammals are controlled by photoperiod. As function at low body temperatures during torpor requires changes of tissue lipid composition, we tested for the first time ...

Why does low intensity, long-day lighting promote growth in Petunia, Impatiens, and tomato? [PDF]
, 2008 Numerous reports demonstrate that low intensity, long-day (LD) lighting treatments can promote growth. However, there are conflicting suggestions as to the mechanisms involved.

Effects of Photoperiod and Temperature on Energy Budgets and Endocrine Hormones Concentrations in Tupaia belangeri [PDF]
Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2014 Environmental cues play important roles in the regulation of an animal’s physiology and behavior. In the present study, we performed a factorial experiment (temperature/photoperiod) in which Tupaia belangeri was acclimated to different photoperiods (long

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Parallel wiring of bioelectrochemical devices with conventional generators unexpectedly boosts output. A biophotovoltaic paired with a solar cell delivers up to 50% more power at low loads than their separate contributions; a plant microbial fuel cell shows similar current gains.

Root‐Stimulated Movements in Mimosa Pudica for Biohybrid Robotic Systems
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This study demonstrates that thermal and electrical stimulation of Mimosa pudica root induces movement of the petiole and pinnules without direct stimulation of the aerial organs, thereby enabling a plant‐based robotic gripper and providing a foundation for the development of intelligent and sustainable systems.
