Asexuality: The Insects that Stick With It [PDF]
Current Biology, 2011 One hope of trying to understand why sex is so powerful and prevalent a mode of reproduction relies on the rare examples of animals that persist long-term without having sex. Now, several species of stick insects join that illustrious circle.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.DNA strands are employed both as dynamic linkers and nanoscale templates for the integration of Ag2S nanoparticles on MoS2, which in turn imparted photothermal responsiveness; this feature permits the selective cargo (fluorophore, quantum dots or an enzyme) release from the MoS2 surface in response to local heat induced by light irradiation.

Electrolytic lesions within central complex neuropils of the cockroach brain affect negotiation of barriers [PDF]
, 2010 Animals must negotiate obstacles in their path in order to successfully function within natural environments. These actions require transitions from walking to other behaviors, many of which are more involved than simple reflexes.

Multimodal Structural Color Graphics Based on Colloidal Photonic Microdome Arrays
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A hybrid photonic system combining colloidal crystals and microscale domes is designed to achieve four switchable optical states via the interplay of Bragg reflection and TIR interference. The graphics composed of the photonic microdome arrays provide tunable, angle‐sensitive structural coloration and concealed‐to‐revealed transitions, offering a ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Dual‐atom catalysts featuring varying spatial configurations of metal sites (Pt1Fe1 DACs) are employed to systematically investigate the influence of spatial arrangements on the electronic structure and catalytic activity of active sites. Notably, the 3D asymmetric Pt1Fe1‐TAC dimer, featuring strong interatomic interactions, demonstrates superior ...

Feeding Habits of Stick Insects [PDF]
Nature, 1936 THE observations1 from the Notre Dame Training College, Glasgow, on the eating of dead cellulose by Carausius, are very interesting in view of our experience at Strand School, where we have kept stick insects for upwards of twenty-five years, incidentally, without having detected a male.

A New Chinese Mesozoic Stick Insect [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2011 Renphasma sinica gen. et sp. nov. is described from the Early Cretaceous Yixian Formation in Liaoning. It has the general habitus of the Mesozoic “stick-insects”, with a short thorax, and broad and long tegmina, as long as the hindwings. Its pattern of tegmina venation is typical of the Mesozoic Phasmatodea, also present in the Eocene stick insect ...
