The restoration of ecological interactions: plant-pollinator networks on ancient and restored heathlands [PDF]

, 2008
1. Attempts to restore damaged ecosystems usually emphasize structural aspects of biodiversity, such as species richness and abundance. An alternative is to emphasize functional aspects, such as patterns of interaction between species.

Interactions Between Active Matters and Endogenous Fields

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes endogenous field information and computational methods in contexts such as cancer, wounds, and biofilms. It organizes NAMs and AAMs by sensing, transmitting, and executing functions, compares their limitations, and from these contrasts proposes design strategies for next‐generation AAMs, offering perspectives to foster ...

Multifunctional Bracts in the Dove Tree Davidia involucrata (Nyssaceae:Cornales) [PDF]

, 2008
Although there has been much experimental work on floral traits that are under selection from mutualists and antagonists, selection by abiotic environmental factors on flowers has been largely ignored.

Light‐Activated Micromotors in Air Propelled by Thermal Convection

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Near‐infrared‐driven micromotors in air can overcome gravity and generate convective motion by a light‐induced thermal mechanism driven by a temperature gradient in the air caused by the interaction of the gold nanoparticles present on the surface of ZnO and NIR irradiation.

Elastic Energy Storage in Biological Materials: Internal Stresses and Their Functionality

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Harnessing and storing internally generated elastic energy is a clever strategy by biological materials to perform functions like shape transformation, movement, and predation. This review explores how biological systems manipulate mechanisms like atomic or protein integration into minerals, protein conformational shifts, phase transitions, and osmotic

Cumulative individual seed production in the polycarpic Caesalpinia gilliesii (Fabaceae): effects of temporal variability in floral display, plant density and pollination [PDF]

, 2016
In polycarpic species, floral display size and density of conspecific neighbours are time variable as well as their effects on pollination and fecundity.

Molecular cloning and transcriptional activity of a new Petunia calreticulin gene involved in pistil transmitting tract maturation, progamic phase, and double fertilization [PDF]

, 2013
Calreticulin (CRT) is a highly conserved and ubiquitously expressed Ca2+-binding protein in multicellular eukaryotes. As an endoplasmic reticulum-resident protein, CRT plays a key role in many cellular processes including Ca2+ storage and release ...

Molecular Nanosolids Generation by Vapor Jet Desublimation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A single‐step, solvent‐free approach to fabricate nanoparticles of small organic molecules is demonstrated, using a nitrogen‐propelled vapor jet, enabling tunable particle morphology and crystallinity. Pharmaceutical, flavoring, dyeing and electronics‐relevant molecules are used, demonstrating process generalizability.

Reliability of the entomovector technology using Prestop-Mix and Bombus terrestris L. as a fungal disease biocontrol method in open field [PDF]

, 2016
Botrytis cinerea Pers.: Fr. is a major plant pathogen, and a new approach is needed for its control in strawberry to minimise the increasing use of synthetic fungicides.
