The Role of Leaf Wettability and Morphology on Leaf Surface Water Storage: A Cross‐Biome Synthesis
ABSTRACT The presence of water on leaves impacts plant function and ecosystem fluxes by supplementing moisture, reducing evapotranspirational demand and encouraging pathogen spread. Maximum phytoelement water storage capacity (MWSC)—the maximum amount of water that can be held on the surface of the leaf‐ is an important but poorly constrained parameter

Hummingbird Feeders Can Provide eDNA for Detection of Nectar‐Feeding Bats
This study monitors nectar‐feeding bats (Leptonycteris nivalis, Leptonycteris yerbabuenae, and Choeronycteris mexicana) through eDNA swabs of hummingbird feeders collected by citizen scientists. Using novel qPCR assays, we successfully detected L. yerbabuenae and C. mexicana in a grand majority of samples. Previously only known to occur in the U.S.

Over the past 13 years, the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have experienced important enhancements. PSCs exhibit superior optoelectronic properties and can be fabricated using inexpensive materials. To compete with first‐generation photovoltaic technologies, it is essential to scale up production.

Guideline for the Detection of Advanced Glycation End Products
This experimental guide focuses on using methods such as GC–MS, LC–MS/MS, and HPLC–MS/MS to detect advanced glycation end products (AGEs) from the Maillard pathway, facilitating investigation of their association with diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. ABSTRACT Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), stable products of nonenzymatic reactions between
