Species‐ and origin‐specific susceptibility to bird predation among juvenile salmonids

Ecosphere, 2023
Juvenile salmonids often experience high mortality rates during migration and bird predation is a common source of mortality. Research suggests that hatchery‐reared salmonids are more prone to predation than wild salmonids, and that Atlantic salmon ...

Interactions between predation and resources shape zooplankton population dynamics. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Identifying the relative importance of predation and resources in population dynamics has a long tradition in ecology, while interactions between them have been studied less intensively.

Phenotypically Plastic Responses to Predation Risk Are Temperature Dependent [PDF]

, 2019
Predicting how organisms respond to climate change requires that we understand the temperature dependence of fitness in relevant ecological contexts (e.g., with or without predation risk).

Adult‐Onset Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis Presenting With Subacute Cognitive Deficits

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We describe the case of a 41‐year‐old man diagnosed with adult‐onset subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE). The patient presented with subacute progressive cognitive deficits and a neuropsychological profile indicating predominant frontoparietal dysfunction. MRI showed only mild parietal‐predominant cerebral atrophy.

Predation of eggs and incubating females in willow ptarmigan Lagopus l. lagopus

Fauna Norvegica
Nest predation is a major cause of reproductive loss in many ground-nesting birds. During 15 consecutive years the predation of nests and females throughout the incubation season were recorded in a willow ptarmigan Lagopus l.

Anisotropic Shear Properties of Organic Interfaces in Bio‐composite Materials

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A novel cantilever design enables direct probing of shear properties at single organic interfaces within biocomposite prismatic ultrastructures. By decoupling lateral and torsional shear responses, the method reveals isotropic behavior in Atrina vexillum and pronounced anisotropy in Unio pictorum.

Predation effects of flupyradifurone on Orius strigicollis (Poppius) (Heteroptera: Anthocoridae), a potential natural enemy of Asian citrus psyllid

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Diaphorina citri is a globally significant pest of citrus. A pest management strategy integrating flupyradifurone with Orius strigicollis has the potential to enhance control efficacy against D.

Moth‐Wing‐Inspired Multifunctional Metamaterials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study develops a moth‐wing‐inspired heterogeneous metamaterial that achieves synergistic broadband sound absorption, mechanical energy dissipation, and thermal insulation within a lightweight architected framework. Combining bioinspired gradient design, genetic‐algorithm optimization, and additive manufacturing, the bionic heterogeneous acoustic ...

Environmental vs demographic variability in stochastic predator-prey models

, 2013
In contrast to the neutral population cycles of the deterministic mean-field Lotka--Volterra rate equations, including spatial structure and stochastic noise in models for predator-prey interactions yields complex spatio-temporal structures associated ...

Liquid Crystalline Elastomers in Soft Robotics: Assessing Promise and Limitations

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) are programmable soft materials that undergo large, anisotropic deformation in response to external stimuli. Their molecular alignment encodes directional actuation in a monolithic structure, making them long‐standing candidates for soft robotic systems.
