Advanced Science, EarlyView.Assessing species' vulnerabilities across geographical gradients is essential for biodiversity conservation under climate change. To address this challenge, the semi‐natural climate chamber across latitudes (SCCAL) is developed, a validated system capable of simulating thermal environments for ecological experiments without reliance on water or ...

Stationary patterns of a diffusive predator-prey model with Crowley-Martin functional response [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 A diffusive predator-prey system with predator interference and Neumann boundary conditions is considered in this paper. We derive some results on the existence and nonexistence of nonconstant stationary solutions. It is shown that there exist no nonconstant stationary solutions when the effect of the predator interference is strong or the conversion ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study demonstrates that the miRNA pathway plays a key role in the invasive growth of Alternanthera philoxeroides in aquatic habitats. Specifically, miR162 is critical for its invasive success, facilitating stem elongation and enhancing survival during submergence.

Study of LG-Holling type III predator-prey model with disease in predator [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 In this article, a Leslie-Gower Holling type III predator-prey model with disease in predator has been developed from both biological and mathematical point of view. The total population is divided into three classes, namely, prey, susceptible predator and infected predator.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A nanometer‐sized artificial basement membrane (A‐BM) is developed to replicate the barrier functions of the basement membrane and prevent cell migration. It is demonstrated that the outermost cationic surface charge of nanofilms can effectively inhibit endothelial cell migration and sprouting, allowing for the construction of 3D patterned vascular ...

Using Q‐methodology to understand stakeholder perspectives on a carnivore translocation
People and Nature, 2020 Reversing global declines in predator populations is a major conservation objective, though people frequently come into conflict over carnivore conservation.

Chaos control via feeding switching in intraguild predation systems [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 In the present paper we study a tri-trophic Lotka-Volterra food web model with omnivory and predator switching. We observe that if the intensity of predator switching increases the chaotic behavior of the omnivory model will be reduced. We conclude that the predator switching mechanism enhances the stability of an otherwise chaotic system.

π–π Conjugated Bonds Stacking/Scattering for Switchable Lubrication in Supramolecular Hydrogel
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Inspired by the hagfish′s behavior of secreting mucus to escape from predators, a dual‐responsive intelligent lubricating material (PPRA) is successfully prepared. When PPRA is heated or sheared, a partial gel‐sol transition occurs in the hydrogel, resulting in a sol‐state RPAD layer forming on the surface, which acts as a lubricating layer and reduces

A multi-scale study of a class of hybrid predator-prey models [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 We address the question of an averaging principle for a general class of multi-scale hybrid predator-prey models. We consider prey-predator models where the kinetic of the prey population, described by a differential equation, is faster than the kinetic of the predator population, described by a jump process, the two dynamics being fully coupled.
