On the Ordering Mechanism of Cu+ in 2D van der Waals Multiferroic CuCrP2S6

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Temperature‐dependent X‐ray single‐crystal diffuse scattering measurements of CuCrP2S6 in the (H, K, 0) plane reveal the gradual emergence and strengthening of short‐range order upon cooling from 230 to 170 K. At intermediate temperatures, diffuse features become pronounced and eventually lock into sharp incommensurate satellite reflections, indicating

Thermal ecology and baseline energetic requirements of a large‐bodied ectotherm suggest resilience to climate change

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Most studies on how rising temperatures will impact terrestrial ectotherms have focused on single populations or multiple sympatric species. Addressing the thermal and energetic implications of climatic variation on multiple allopatric populations of a ...

Dual Band Optimization and Defect Engineering Enable Ultrahigh Thermoelectric Performance in Filled Skutterudites

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
A synergistic dual‐modulation strategy is employed in Yb‐filled skutterudites through concurrent indium filling and tellurium doping to optimize electronic band structure and phonon scattering. Cooperative band convergence and nanoprecipitate‐induced lattice distortions yield a high zT of 1.72 and enable an ultra‐efficient thermoelectric device with 8 ...

Enabling the study of gene function in gymnosperms: Virus‐induced gene silencing in Ephedra tweedieana

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise As the sister clade to angiosperms, extant gymnosperms are crucial for reconstructing ancestral gene regulatory networks in seed plants. This highlights the need for model systems representing each of their distinct lineages. However, tools to quickly and effectively investigate gene function in gymnosperms are still limited due to the

Human-Wildlife Conflict at a Suburban–Wildlands Interface: Effects of Short- and Long-Distance Translocations on Red Diamond Rattlesnake (Crotalus ruber) Activity and Survival

open access: yesDiversity, 2022
The mitigation of human-rattlesnake conflicts often involves euthanizing or translocating the offending rattlesnake. Although translocation is generally considered more humane, especially by the general public, it may negatively impact the translocated ...

Repeat antivenom administration following crotalidae immune F(ab’)2 antivenom in Agkistrodon species: a case series

open access: yesToxicology Communications, 2023
Crotalidae immune F(ab’)2 [equine] was approved for the treatment of North American rattlesnake envenomation in 2015 and Agkistrodon envenomation in 2021 after a phase 3 trial demonstrated lower rates of late hemotoxicity compared to crotalidae ...

Advances in Parahydrogen‐Induced Polarization for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance of Peptides, Proteins, and Biopolymers

open access: yesChemistryEurope, EarlyView.
Hyperpolarization by parahydrogen‐induced polarization enhances the sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of amino acids, peptides, mini‐proteins, and biopolymers using nonnatural amino acids with unsaturated side chains up to three orders of magnitude.

Comparative sex chromosome genomics in snakes: differentiation, evolutionary strata, and lack of global dosage compensation. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2013
Snakes exhibit genetic sex determination, with female heterogametic sex chromosomes (ZZ males, ZW females). Extensive cytogenetic work has suggested that the level of sex chromosome heteromorphism varies among species, with Boidae having entirely ...

Global change explains the neotropical rattlesnake Crotalus durissus (Serpentes: Viperidae) range expansion in South America

open access: yesPerspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2023
The neotropical rattlesnake Crotalus durissus occurs in South America, where it is generally associated to open areas in the dry diagonal of the continent, composed of xeric and savanna biomes.

Isoelectronic Alloying in Zintl Phases Mediated the Avoided Crossing and Phonon Softening

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A small amount of Hf doping endows Zr3Ni3Sb4‐Zintl with an unusually low thermal conductivity far exceeding that of similar systems. Two unique phonon mechanisms—avoided crossing and phonon softening—significantly suppress the lattice thermal conductivity. The average thermoelectric figure of merit is improved by 21%.
