From 0D to 3D liquid crystal elastomers architectures: Fabrications and applications

Responsive Materials, Volume 4, Issue 2, May 2026.
This review presents a dimension‐oriented overview of liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), highlighting their molecular alignment, fabrication strategies, and programmable deformations from 0D particles to 3D architectures. Emphasis is placed on how dimensionality guides design principles, enables diverse actuation modes, and bridges fundamental ...

Detection of Heat and Drought Effects on the Photosynthetic Activity Using Solar‐Induced Chlorophyll Fluorescence and a Photochemical Reflectance Index in a Cool‐Temperate Larch Forest in Japan

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 3, May 2026.
Solar‐induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) and gross primary productivity decline at midday during a short heatwave in a tower site of a larch forest. High atmospheric vapor pressure deficit significantly reduced the photochemical reflectance index (PRI), light‐use efficiency (LUE), and canopy fluorescence emission efficiency (εF).

Study on the composition characteristics of the intestinal microbiota in three species of cranes under captive conditions

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Cranes are globally threatened yet understudied in terms of their gut microbiome, which is crucial for their health in captivity. This study examines the gut microbiota composition of three captive crane species using 16S rRNA gene sequencing of fecal ...

Vigilance responding to number of conspecifics among mixed groups of cranes in demilitarized zone

Animal Cells and Systems, 2018
Numerous studies have addressed antipredatory benefits of mixed-species flocks of foragers, but studies on individual's vigilance as a function of group size are limited. In the Cheolwon area of the Korean Demilitarized Zone, vigilance of the subordinate

Long‐term data reveals increase in vehicle collisions of endangered birds in Hokkaido, Japan

Conservation Science and Practice
Wildlife‐vehicle collisions have significant consequences for both humans and animals, including injuries, deaths, and vehicle damage. Therefore, analysis of accident data is important for planning countermeasures and appropriate wildlife management.

Evaluating the quality of VGI and authoritative data in red-crowned crane conservation: a comparative study

Big Earth Data
Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) has emerged as a valuable resource in citizen science, yet concerns about its data quality remain. While prior studies have focused on specific data types or platforms, few have systematically evaluated ...

Multi-scale analysis to uncover habitat use of red-crowned cranes: Implications for conservation

Current Zoology, 2013
A multi-scale approach is essential to assess the factors that limit avian habitat use. Numerous studies have examined habitat use by the red-crowned crane, but integrated multi-scale habitat use information is lacking.
