Investigating the phylogenetic history of toxin tolerance in mushroom‐feeding Drosophila
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Understanding how and when key novel adaptations evolved is a central goal of evolutionary biology. Within the immigrans‐tripunctata radiation of Drosophila, many mushroom‐feeding species are tolerant of host toxins, such as cyclopeptides, that are ...

Radiation tolerance of several lithium greases
Fushe yanjiu yu fushe gongyi xuebao, 2021 Using γ ray to irradiat six types of lithium grease, the color of these greases was observed to change, and the degree of change was found to be positively correlated with an increase in the absorbed dose.
