Eye Darkening Under Dehydration Stress in the Neotropical Frog Boana punctata (Schneider, 1799)
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.Dehydration induces a strong and partially reversible increase in iris pigmentation in the Neotropical frog Boana punctata. The tight relationship between iris darkening and hydration state identifies ocular pigmentation as a simple, non‐invasive physiological biomarker with broad potential for assessing hydric stress in amphibian populations ...

Diffraction‐Free Natural Optical Skyrmions and Their Subwavelength Confinement Around Vortices
Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Diffraction causes waves to spread out as they propagate freely. The tighter the lateral confinement, the faster the spreading. Past research on how to suppress diffraction has been based on wave engineering and has led so far to idealized waves that, in real settings, eventually diffract.
