Turgor pressure affects transverse stiffness and resonant frequencies of buzz-pollinated poricidal anther

The paper investigates how turgor pressure affects the mechanical properties of buzz-pollinated poricidal anthers, finding significant decreases in stiffness and resonant frequency after turgor loss.

Birds affected by a 2021 avian mortality event are strongly associated with supplemental feeding and ground foraging behaviors

The paper investigates factors associated with a 2021 avian mortality event, finding that birds consuming supplemental feed and ground foragers were significantly represented in affected samples.

Reduced coenzyme Q synthesis confers non-target site resistance to the herbicide thaxtomin A

This study identifies loss-of-function mutations in MpRTN4IP1L as a novel mechanism of non-target site resistance to the herbicide thaxtomin A in Marchantia polymorpha.

Carpenter Bee Thorax Vibration and Force Generation Inform Pollen Release Mechanisms During Floral Buzzing

This study quantifies the forces and kinematics of carpenter bee thorax vibrations during floral buzzing, revealing their role in pollen release from poricidal anthers.

The flying insect thoracic cuticle is heterogenous in structure and in thickness-dependent modulus gradation

This study examines the structural and material properties of thoracic cuticle in flying insects, finding differences between species and flight muscle types.

Matrix Stiffness Regulates Liver Sinusoidal Endothelial Cell Function Mimicking Responses in Fatty Liver Disease

This study shows that increased matrix stiffness in fibrotic environments alters LSEC function, leading to capillarization and loss of endocytic ability, contributing to liver fibrosis progression.
