Habitat Characterization of Five Rare Insects in Michigan (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae, Riodinidae, Satyridae; Homoptera: Cercopidae) [PDF]

, 2018
Over 80 species of insects are listed as endangered, threatened, or special concern under Michigan\u27s endangered species act. For the majority of these species, detailed habitat information is scant or difficult to interpret. We describe the habitat of

Self‐Assembled Physical Unclonable Function Labels Based on Plasmonic Coupling

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
This article introduces advanced anti‐counterfeit labels crafted through DNA‐guided self‐assembly of plasmonic nanoparticles. Utilizing nanosphere lithography for dense and precise nanoparticle placement, these labels feature unique, unclonable optical signatures achieved through plasmonic coupling, detectable by an economical 3D‐printed dark field ...

Distribution and conservation of threatened gymnosperms in China

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
China is one of the diversity centers of gymnosperms. Nearly one-fifth (195 species) of gymnosperms are located in China, but 69 species are threatened. To date, the conservation status of gymnosperms, especially threatened gymnosperms in China, remains ...

Licensed To Kill: A Defense of Vicarious Liability Under the Endangered Species Act [PDF]

, 2014
The Endangered Species Act (ESA) makes it illegal to take an endangered and threatened species by killing, harming, or harassing the animal. Although the classic example of a take is an individual poacher shooting an endangered species, these protected

Dynamic Structural Colors in Cholesteric Cellulose Composites: Achieving Spatial and Temporal Control

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
By combining static and time‐resolved optical, structural, and rheological techniques, we demonstrate that the blue‐shift upon solidification of ethyl cellulose‐acrylic acid mesophases corresponds to the reorientation of cholesteric domains. Modulating the mesophase chain mobility and photopolymerization reaction kinetics enables solid chiral nematic ...

Intrinsically Soft Implantable Electronics for Long‐term Biosensing Applications

Advanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.
Intrinsically soft implantable biosensors address the mechanical mismatch of conventional rigid implants, improving biocompatibility and stability. This review explores soft encapsulation matrices, stretchable conductors, implantation strategies, and chronic fixation techniques.

Estimating the benefit of well-managed protected areas for threatened species conservation

Oryx, 2018
Protected areas are central to global efforts to prevent species extinctions, with many countries investing heavily in their establishment. Yet the designation of protected areas alone can only abate certain threats to biodiversity.

Non‐Invasive Diagnosis of Chronic Myocardial Infarction via Composite In‐Silico‐Human Data Learning

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a non‐invasive machine learning model to identify infarct regions in the left ventricle using cardiac strain data. By combining rodent‐based simulated data with limited human data, the model achieves high accuracy in predicting infarct size and location without the need for gadolinium contrast agents, offering a promising ...
