The Auditory System of the Dipteran Parasitoid Emblemasoma auditrix (Sarcophagidae) [PDF]
, 2016 Several taxa of insects evolved a tympanate ear at different body positions, whereby the ear is composed of common parts: a scolopidial sense organ, a tracheal air space, and a tympanal membrane. Here, we analyzed the anatomy and physiology of the ear at

Photochemical Fuel Carrier Molecules for Robotic Embodied Energy
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We designed a novel fuel carrier photoresponsive molecule for on‐demand energy storage and release. Carrier molecules undergo bond scission under UV light to release chemical fuel and locally generate propulsive Marangoni flows. We demonstrate this photochemical embodied energy strategy in small‐scale robots and active matter systems, enabling ...

Chirality Transfer via Orientational Order of Micellar Assemblies on Gold Nanocrystals
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A mechanism for chiral growth of Au nanocrystals mediated by orientational order of chiral micelles at seed surfaces is demonstrated. 3D electron microscopy and molecular dynamics simulations reveal how alignment of the micelles along crystal directions and torsion–orientation coupling govern chirality transfer, providing a framework to rationalize ...

Herbivory increases diversification across insect clades. [PDF]
, 2015 Insects contain more than half of all living species, but the causes of their remarkable diversity remain poorly understood. Many authors have suggested that herbivory has accelerated diversification in many insect clades. However, others have questioned
