Analysis and Assembling of Network Structure in Mutualistic Systems [PDF]

, 2007
It has been observed that mutualistic bipartite networks have a nested structure of interactions. In addition, the degree distributions associated with the two guilds involved in such networks (e.g.

Pollen Release Dynamics and Daily Patterns of Pollen-Collecting Activity of Honeybee Apis mellifera and Bumblebee Bombus lantschouensis in Solar Greenhouse

Insects, 2019
Pollen is important not only for pollination and fertilization of plants, but also for colony development of bee pollinators. Anther dehiscence determines the available pollen that can be collected by foragers.

Advancing Lithium‐Mediated Nitrogen Reduction using Insights from Lithium‐Ion Battery: Focusing on Uniform Li Plating

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Cross‐pollination from lithium metal batteries (LMBs) systematically accelerates lithium‐mediated nitrogen reduction (Li‐NRR). Battery‐derived strategies—solid‐electrolyte interphase (SEI)/interface engineering, solvation‐structure and electrolyte design, applying additives—translate into higher Faradaic efficiency (FE), energy efficiencyt (EE), and ...

Review of the Challenges and Prospects in Agrivoltaics

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
This articles reviews the recent prospects of agri‐photovoltaics (agri‐PV) across continents. The existing standards and pilot projects to standardize new codes and regulations are discussed. The state‐of‐the‐art agri‐PV scheme's benefits and lackings are presented. Community acceptance and policy barriers are also discussed where prospective solutions
