Shared predation: positive effects of predator distraction [PDF]
, 2016 AbstractSimple rules based on population equilibria can characterize indirect interactions in three-species systems but fail to predict them when considering behavioral mechanisms. In this paper, we revisit the effects of shared predation,i.e. the situation in which two prey are consumed by a common predator.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Ozone‐based gas‐phase metal‐assisted chemical etching enables unprecedented room‐temperature fabrication of high‐quality silicon nanowires. The superior oxidation potential of O3 drives rapid vertical etching (1 µm min−1) while maintaining exceptional structural integrity. The pristine nanowire surfaces enable high‐performance core‐shell photodetectors

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019 We report the complete mitogenome of Sitona obsoletus, an agricultural pest in New Zealand and some European countries. Like other Sitona mitogenomes, the 6 tRNA gene box is ordered RNSAEF, supporting the hypothesis that this signature is common to, and ...

On the evolutionary emergence of predation [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In models for the evolution of predation from initially purely competitive species interactions, the propensity of predation is most often assumed to be a direct consequence of the relative morphological and physiological traits of interacting species.

A Bio‐Inspired Perspective on Materials Sustainability
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This perspective discusses natural materials as inspiration for sustainable engineering designs and the processing of materials. First, circularity, longevity, parsimony, and activity are presented as essential material paradigms. The perspective then uses many examples of natural and technical materials to introduce principles such as oligo ...

Accessible ecophysiological tools for seabird conservation
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 32, Issue 12, Page 1983-2002, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Seabirds are the most endangered avian taxa on Earth, with over a third of species globally threatened. To help slow their decline, conservation physiology seeks to determine how seabird responses to climatic and anthropogenic threats influence demographic processes, but it is not widely utilized in monitoring.

Modifying M‐44s to reduce risk of activation by swift fox
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2016 M‐44s are spring‐powered sodium cyanide ejectors commonly used in the United States to manage livestock depredation by coyotes (Canis latrans). While highly selective for canids, improvements could reduce risk to nontarget canids, especially State ...
