Predator and prey functional traits: understanding the adaptive machinery driving predator–prey interactions

open access: yesF1000Research, 2017
Predator–prey relationships are a central component of community dynamics. Classic approaches have tried to understand and predict these relationships in terms of consumptive interactions between predator and prey species, but characterizing the ...

Interfacial Contact Engineering Enables Giant‐Performance Semiconductor Nanomembrane Optoelectronic Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work investigates modifying interfacial contacts in realizing giant‐performance semiconductor nanomembrane optoelectronics. Strategies, including surface reaction and buffer layer work‐function modulation, are explored to boost the Schottky barrier. An emerging material of YbOx is utilized for near‐ideal Ohmic contact.

To Hunt or Patrol? Social Composition and Location Mediate Scent Marking Decisions of a Large Carnivore

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
While sociality is known to mediate territorial processes, it is less clear how sociality interacts with environmental features and neighbors' location to influence habitat selection and behavior.

A novel candidate species of Anaplasma that infects avian erythrocytes

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Anaplasma spp. are Gram-negative obligate intracellular bacteria transmitted by ticks. Even though numerous studies have detected DNA from Anaplasma spp.

Is landscape of fear of macroinvertebrate communities a major determinant of mesopredator and prey activity?

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2020
Macroinvertebrate foragers play an important role on the trophic structures of freshwater environments, and multiple trophic levels occur among macroinvertebrate communities providing very interesting scenarios for testing scientific hypotheses.

Predator exposure improves anti‐predator responses in a threatened mammal

open access: yes, 2018
Incorporating an understanding of animal behaviour into conservation programmes can influence conservation outcomes. Exotic predators can have devastating impacts on native prey species and thwart reintroduction efforts, in part due to prey naivete ...

A Novel Approach to Implementing Artificial Thalamic Neurons with Ferroelectric Transistors

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Artificial neurons created using CMOS technology often require a large number of transistors and capacitors. This study introduces an artificial thalamic neuron that employs only five CMOS compatible ferroelectric transistors. The manufactured thalamic neuron demonstrates leaky integrate‐and‐fire‐or‐burst (LIFB) functionalities, featuring self ...

Trophic ecology of Acestrorhynchus falcirostris Cuvier, 1819 in island lakes on the lower stretch of the Solimões River, Amazon Basin

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology, 2022
The aim objective of this study was to determine the trophic ecology of juvenile and adult Acestrorhynchus falcirostris during the rising and flood (high-water) period in six island lakes adjacent to the Solimões River.

Predator control should not be a shot in the dark

open access: yes, 2016
Livestock owners traditionally use various non-lethal and lethal methods to protect their domestic animals from wild predators. However, many of these methods are implemented without first considering experimental evidence of their effectiveness in ...

Predator interactions, mesopredator release and biodiversity conservation.

open access: yesEcology Letters, 2009
There is growing recognition of the important roles played by predators in regulating ecosystems and sustaining biodiversity. Much attention has focused on the consequences of predator-regulation of herbivore populations, and associated trophic cascades.
