Freshwater gastropods in the Northern littoral mesoregion of Espírito Santo, Brazil
Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2017 Studies on the distribution of molluscs in Brazilhave been conducted since the beginning of the twentieth and the knowledge of the species distributed in the country represent important findings, which contribute to the understanding of human diseases ...

Within-guild dietary discrimination from 3-D textural analysis of tooth microwear in insectivorous mammals [PDF]
, 2013 Resource exploitation and competition for food are important selective pressures in animal evolution. A number of recent investigations have focused on linkages between diversification, trophic morphology and diet in bats, partly because their roosting ...

From Lab to Landscape: Environmental Biohybrid Robotics for Ecological Futures
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This Perspective explores environmental biohybrid robotics, integrating living tissues, microorganisms, and insects for operation in real‐world ecosystems. It traces the leap from laboratory experiments to forests, wetlands, and urban environments and discusses key challenges, development pathways, and opportunities for ecological monitoring and ...

An appeasing pheromone ameliorates fear responses in the brown rat (Rattus norvegicus)
iScience, 2023 Summary: The brown rat (Rattus norvegicus) is one of the major animals both in the laboratory and in urban centers. Brown rats communicate various types of information using pheromones, the chemicals that mediate intra-species communication in minute ...

Zoology of condensed matter: Framids, ordinary stuff, extra-ordinary stuff [PDF]
, 2015 We classify condensed matter systems in terms of the spacetime symmetries they spontaneously break. In particular, we characterize condensed matter itself as any state in a Poincar\'e-invariant theory that spontaneously breaks Lorentz boosts while ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Ectodermal tissue excised from Xenopus embryos self‐organizes into a three‐dimensional mucociliary organoid. Here, we generate a neural variant, termed neurobot, by implanting neural precursor cells. Neurobots develop mature neurons, adopt distinct morphologies, exhibit more complex motility, and respond differentially to neuroactive compounds. Imaging

Machine learning algorithms can predict emotional valence across ungulate vocalizations
iScienceSummary: Vocalizations can vary as a function of their context of production and provide an immediate measure of an animal’s affective states. If vocal expression of emotions has been conserved throughout evolution, direct between-species comparisons ...

Climate Change Threatens Micronutrient Density of European Winter Wheat
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Micronutrients are vital for human health. Wheat is a major staple crop and a significant source of minerals and B‐vitamins. The impact of climate change on their content remains largely unknown. We evaluated micronutrient levels in European winter wheat grown under historical and projected climate conditions. Our findings indicate that future climates
