Variation and development of the turtle chondrocranium, with a description of the common musk turtle (Sternotherus odoratus, Kinosternidae, Cryptodira, Testudines)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Based on histological cross‐sections, the chondrocranium of the common musk turtle (Sternotherus odoratus) was reconstructed, described, and compared with other turtles. It differs from that of other turtle chondrocrania by possessing elongated, slightly dorsally orientated nasal capsules with three dorsolateral foramina, which might be ...

A two patch prey-predator model with multiple foraging strategies in predators: Applications to Insects [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
We propose and study a two patch Rosenzweig-MacArthur prey-predator model with immobile prey and predator using two dispersal strategies. The first dispersal strategy is driven by the prey-predator interaction strength, and the second dispersal is prompted by the local population density of predators which is referred as the passive dispersal.

Predator-prey dynamics pertaining to structuralizing predator species into three stages coupled with maturation delay owing to juvenile hunting [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
The predator-prey dynamic appertaining to two species is explored, wherein the predator species is structured into different stages. As evidenced from natural documentation, the immature predators possess the potential to predate albeit not as competently as the adults.

Unraveling the Nanoscale Structure of Organic–Inorganic Hybrid Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A Si‐wafer‐based NPs@SILP system facilitates detailed characterization of spatial structure and interactions between ionic liquid molecules and nanoparticles. The approach yields a uniform ionic liquid monolayer decorated with evenly distributed Ru nanoparticles, showing particle deposition disturbs the SILP's conformational order.

New data on the mammalian fauna from the late middle Eocene (MP 15–16) of Mazaterón (Soria, Spain): The youngest presence of the genus Prodissopsalis (Hyaenodonta, Hyaenodontidae) in Europe

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract The Hyaenodonta were the most diverse carnivorous mammals in the European Eocene and were classically divided into three subfamilies: Sinopaninae, Arfianinae, and Proviverrinae, with this latter being the most successful of the three, as it exhibited a much larger geographic and temporal range.

Nesidiocoris tenuis (Reuter) (Heteroptera: Miridae), a predatory species of the tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) in Iran

open access: yesJournal of Plant Protection Research, 2015
The tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick), is a major worldwide pest of tomato crops, both in the greenhouse and in open field cultivations. Since this pest’s new introduction in Iran, it has caused extensive damage.

Modulating Stiffness and Shape of a Soft, Textile‐Based Structure Through Glass Transition of a Conductive Phase‐Changing Polymer

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A variable stiffness structure with shape morphing and shape memory capabilities made from layered textiles and 3D printing material is developed. Direct printing of cPLA on textile electrodes maximizes the electrodes' contact area. This work presents a new method for achieving variable stiffness in small segments of soft, deformable structures, using ...

Herbivore identity mediates the strength of trophic cascades on individual plants

open access: yesEcosphere, 2013
The strength of top‐down indirect effects of carnivores on plants (trophic cascades) varies greatly and may depend on the identity of the intermediate (herbivore) species.

Ecology of Vespidae (Hymenoptera)Predators in Coffea arabica Plantations

open access: yesSociobiology, 2014
Social Vespidae exhibit control of Leucoptera coffeella (Lepidoptera: Lyonetiidae) in Brazil. The objective was to determine the ideal unit for sampling of predaceous Vespidae in coffee crops in the vegetative and reproductive phases.

Predators and Cranks [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Neuroradiology, 2013
A few years ago I received an e-mail invitation to write a review article on MR spectroscopy from a journal I did not know. Thinking that it was a good project for one of my visiting research fellows, I accepted.
