How the pine seeds attach to/detach from the pine cone scale? [PDF]

One of the primary purposes of pine cones is the protection and distant dispersal of pine seeds. Pine cones open and release their embedded seeds on dry and windy days for long-distance dispersal, In this study, how the pine seeds attach to/detach from ...

Multifunctional Hydroxyapatite Coated with Gallium Liquid Metal‐Based Silver Nanoparticles for Infection Prevention and Bone Regeneration

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A multifunctional hydroxyapatite (HAp) coating integrated with silver‐gallium liquid metal nanoparticles (HAp‐Ag‐GaNPs) exhibits dual antibacterial and osteogenic properties. It effectively inhibits Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria, including resistant strains, while enhancing bone regeneration.

Flexible Leaf‐Like Fuel Cell From Plasmonic Janus Nanosheet

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A flexible leaf‐like fuel cell is fabricated by conductive gold nanowire sponge‐supported plasmonic Janus nanosheet, which can generate a power of 8.93 mW cm⁻2 with less than 10% performance deterioration even being bent or twisted. Further assembly in a tree‐like layout demonstrates omnidirectional light harvesting capability and wind resistance ...

Effects of Landscape Heterogeneity and Disperser Movement on Seed Dispersal

Ecologies
The primacy of endozoochory for the maintenance and expansion of many woody plant populations is well known, but seed dispersal is not well understood for most species.

Ideal Molecular Sieving with a Dense MOF for Helium Upgrading with Highly Diffusion Selective Mixed Matrix Membranes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The separation of Helium gas from natural gas is challenging but highly important. MIL‐116(Ga), a “non‐porous” metal–organic framework is used as a molecular sieve to separate He from CH4. Druse‐like MIL‐116(Ga) particles are integrated into polysulfone mixed matrix membranes.

Knowledge Gaps on the Effectiveness of Seed Dispersal by Mammals and the Effect of Human Disturbances: A Review

Diversity
Seed dispersal by frugivorous mammals is crucial for plant reproduction, but anthropogenic disturbances can disrupt this process. However, there is a lack of research on mammalian seed dispersal in anthropogenic habitats, with few systematic literature ...

Model for Estimating the Probability of Crop Production for Ginkgo biloba L. [PDF]

, 1975
Mature female Maidenhair trees (Ginkgo biloba L.)have been observed to produce seed dispersal units in some years and none in other years. A temperature and/or photoperiod flowering threshold is suggested. Daily temperatures and daylengths at five Ginkgo

Introduction to the Special Issue: The Role of Seed Dispersal in Plant Populations: Perspectives and Advances in a Changing World [PDF]

, 2020
Despite the importance of seed dispersal as a driving process behind plant community assembly, our understanding of the role of seed dispersal in plant population persistence and spread remains incomplete.
