Hydraulics and Structural Mechanics Jointly Shape Root‐to‐Leaf Scaling of Xylem Conduit Traits
ABSTRACT Xylem conduit morphology is shaped by the challenges of minimizing hydraulic resistance and preventing conduit wall collapse during vertical sap transport. While hydraulic theories predict that conduits widen from tip to base to minimize resistance, theory has not addressed how collapse prevention influences vertical variation in conduit ...

Abstract While both daytime and nighttime temperatures are increasing with climate change, few studies have experimentally investigated their differential effects under field conditions. We conducted a factorial field experiment examining how day‐ and night‐warming impact the growth, survivorship, and behavior of cabbage white caterpillars (Pieris ...

Is tool-making knowledge robust over time and across problems?
In three studies, we explored the retention and transfer of tool-making knowledge, learnt from an adult demonstration, to other temporal and task contexts.

Lapped scarf joint with inclined faces and wooden dowels: Experimental and numerical analysis
Abstract Experimental and numerical analysis were performed to investigate the mechanical behavior of a lapped scarf joint with inclined contact faces and wooden dowels which is a commonly used connection for repairing damaged beams in historical structures.

The Louder, the Longer: Object Length Perception Is Influenced by Loudness, but Not by Pitch
Sound by itself can be a reliable source of information about an object’s size. For instance, we are able to estimate the size of objects merely on the basis of the sound they make when falling on the floor.
