Spiders as surrogate species in ecological monitoring, habitat classification and reserve selection : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science in Ecology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The use of invertebrates in the monitoring of terrestrial ecosystems was investigated using spiders as a focal group. In a review of previous literature, spiders were found to meet the majority of criteria required of suitable ecological indicators ...

Draper‐ATG3 Interaction Positively Regulates Autophagy to Mediate Silk Gland Degradation in Bombyx mori

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Draper is evolutionarily conserved across most insect species. Loss of Draper inhibits autophagy activation, delaying middle silk gland degradation in the silkworm during metamorphosis. Draper interacts with autophagy ‐ related protein 3 (ATG3) to orchestrate autophagosome formation—a process essential for silk gland degradation during the larval‐pupal

Integrin‐Piezo1 Axis Drives ECM Remodeling and Invasion of 3D Breast Epithelium

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Mechanical stiffening of the extracellular matrix around mature mammary acini induces sequential remodeling phases. An early response disrupts the basement membrane and promotes fibronectin secretion, followed by delayed invasion with matrix reorganization and proliferation.

Learning to Navigate in Chemical Fields Without A Map at Low Reynolds Numbers

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Deep reinforcement learning enables a reconfigurable artificial microswimmer to exhibit run‐and‐tumble strategy to navigate toward a chemical source. This mapless microswimmer can robustly navigate in diverse chemical fields without relying on a pre‐existing map.

Burning a Graph is Hard [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Graph burning is a model for the spread of social contagion. The burning number is a graph parameter associated with graph burning that measures the speed of the spread of contagion in a graph; the lower the burning number, the faster the contagion ...
