Hairy Roadblock: Stem Trichomes Impede Herbivore Movement in a Species and Instar‐Dependent Manner
ABSTRACT Plants have evolved to deploy a vast set of defence mechanisms against insect herbivores, including physical barriers like leaf trichomes with pre and post ingestive effects. Yet, the role of stem trichomes in plant‐herbivore interactions, particularly mobility dynamics, is poorly understood.

Decoding Naturalistic Episodic Memory with Artificial Intelligence and Brain‐Machine Interface
Episodic memory weaves together what, where, and when of experience into a personal narrative. Cutting‐edge AI models may decode this intricate process in real‐life settings, revealing how neural activity encodes naturalistic memories. By merging AI with brain–machine interfaces, researchers are edging closer to mapping and even engineering memory ...

Impulse‐type transmission efficiency (TE) modulation is a widely observed phenomenon in liquid crystals (LCs) with significant polarization. This phenomenon is observable in the ferroelectric nematic (NF) and nematic (N) phase of NFLCs, as well as in a blended LC composed of NFLC and a conventional NLC.

The King in the Crosshairs: Evidence of a Predation Attempt on European Bison by Wolves
To our knowledge, we present the first video‐recorded evidence of wolves attacking a European bison herd in the BPF. The European bison, often referred to as the king of the forest, is generally described as a non‐prey species, but historical data and our recent documented observation provide clear evidence that they can be subjected to wolf predation.

Revisiting the predation paradox for the Wood Thrush, a declining Neotropical migrant
Abstract Despite an increased density of mid‐trophic level predators in urban and suburban areas compared to rural areas, the survival of smaller prey animals, including the eggs and chicks of nesting songbirds, often remains relatively high in these areas.

Does having bad epilepsy make you a good surgical candidate? A number needed to treat analysis
Abstract Epilepsy surgery is an established treatment for drug‐resistant epilepsy, offering a realistic prospect of seizure freedom in well‐selected candidates. However, surgery is sometimes offered to individuals with a low probability of seizure freedom when it is framed as potentially “life‐saving” on the basis of the elevated mortality associated ...
