Programmable Porosity in Polymers via Microfluidic Templating and 3D Printing

open access: yesSmall Methods, EarlyView.
Fluid templating is a powerful way to produce porous polymers. Microfluidic technologies enable fine control over the dimension and packing of bubbles and droplets. Combined with additive manufacturing, microfluidic templating enables the creation of polymeric functionally graded porous materials in which both porosity and three‐dimensional geometry ...

AI‐Powered GPR Characterization of Peatland Underground Cavity Induced by Smoldering Wildfire: A Laboratory Proof‐of‐Concept

open access: yesSafety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
We present an AI‐assisted ground‐penetrating radar framework to noninvasively detect and quantify smoldering wildfire‐induced subsurface cavities in peatlands. A ResNet model accurately predicts cavity geometry from GPR images, enabling improved assessment of underground fire damage and hazards.

Benzimidazole Anthelmintic Compounds Albendazole and Fenbendazole Show Distinct Toxicity on the Nitrogen Fixing Bacterium Mesorhizobium loti and Its Symbiosis With Lotus japonicus

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Veterinary medicines, which reach the soil mostly through the application of contaminated manures, can affect beneficial soil microorganisms, such as nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia bacteria, which engage in important symbiotic associations with plants.

Comparative Analysis of Stress Adaptation in the Yeast Microbiome of Cactus

open access: yesYeast, EarlyView.
Yeasts and related fungi isolated from cacti or nearby non‐cactus plants were characterized phenotypically and genomically, revealing differences that hint at modes of adaptation to the cactus host. ABSTRACT Together with other fungi, yeasts make up a significant component of the plant microbiome. As the planet warms, cacti expand their range.

Integrating large mammalian herbivores into Dynamic Global Vegetation Models: Status and next steps

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Zoogeochemistry, the study of how animals influence elemental cycling within ecosystems, bridges the fields of zoology, ecology and biogeochemistry. Yet, most terrestrial ecosystem models, especially Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs), remain largely plant‐centric

The oxygen and pressure physiology of upper elevational range limits in insects

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate warming is widely expected to cause montane insects to shift upslope, and there is good evidence that some populations are doing so. Nevertheless, patterns are mixed—with evidence supporting upslope, downslope or even no movement of both lower and upper range ...

How do insects pollinate flowers? Behaviour during visitation determines high pollination efficiency by a generalist insect

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecosystem services provide essential benefits to human survival and well‐being. Animal behaviour is central to the delivery of many ecosystem services, yet we know little about how behaviour drives services' provision.

Beta diversity of Arctiinae moths (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) along a recovering tropical forest gradient

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using novel approaches of Hill‐number based and coverage‐standardized dissimilarity metrics and community‐weighted traits, we show that tiger moth communities exhibit various traits prone to land‐use intensity and undergo a complex and non‐linear response to tropical rainforest recovery, corroborating recent findings on biotic differentiation (Keck et ...
