Chemosensory sensitivity reflects reproductive status in the ant Harpegnathos saltator. [PDF]
, 2017 Insects communicate with pheromones using sensitive antennal sensilla. Although trace amounts of pheromones can be detected by many insects, context-dependent increased costs of high sensitivity might lead to plasticity in sensillum responsiveness.

Olfaction scaffolds the developing human from neonate to adolescent and beyond [PDF]
, 2020 The impact of the olfactory sense is regularly apparent across development. The foetus is bathed in amniotic fluid that conveys the mother’s chemical ecology.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The study presents biodegradable and recyclable mixed‐matrix membranes (MMMs), hydrogels, and cryogels using luminescent nanoscale metal‐organic frameworks (nMOFs) and biopolymers. These bio‐nMOF‐MMMs combine europium‐based nMOFs as probes for the status of the materials with the biopolymers agar and gelatine and present alternatives to conventional ...

Do lighting conditions influence bird–window collisions?
Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2022 Bird–window collisions account for approximately one billion bird deaths annually in North America. Highly reflective or mirrored glass is associated with increased collision risk, but little is known about whether the reflection caused by differential ...
