Facing different predators: adaptiveness of behavioral and morphological traits under predation [PDF]
, 2017 Predation is thought to be one of the main structuring forces in animal communities. However, selective predation is often measured on isolated traits in response to a single predatory species, but only rarely are selective forces on several traits ...

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.Electrical stimulation of human pluripotent stem cell‐derived cardiomyocytes is systematically investigated as a function of electrode material and configuration. Stimulation efficiency is found to be governed predominantly by electrode geometry, with increased electrode area and proximity to cells enabling more effective pacing.

Selective Predation of a Stalking Predator on Ungulate Prey
PLOS ONE, 2016 Prey selection is a key factor shaping animal populations and evolutionary dynamics. An optimal forager should target prey that offers the highest benefits in terms of energy content at the lowest costs. Predators are therefore expected to select for prey of optimal size. Stalking predators do not pursue their prey long, which may lead to a more random

Declining populations of greater sage-grouse: where and why
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 Scientists have been predicting the extinction of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) since 1916, and sage-grouse populations have declined relentlessly during the last century despite attempts to reverse the decline. In this review paper, we

Heteropterans as aphid predators in inter-mountain alfalfa
European Journal of Entomology, 2009 The relationships between predatory Heteroptera and their potential prey species were investigated during two crop seasons in an inter-mountain area close to the Pyrenees (Iberian Peninsula).

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.The mechanism and kinetics of selective GaAs growth on Si nanotip wafers via nanoheteroepitaxy were investigated as a function of pitch (center‐to‐center nanotip spacing). The pitch dependence reveals distinct surface‐diffusion‐controlled regimes, demonstrating that lateral Ga adatom transport on the SiO2 mask governs material redistribution and ...
