recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Advanced Optical Materials"

DOI: 10.1002/adom.201601071

Abstract: Cholesteric liquid crystals are known to exhibit a circular-polarization selective Bragg reflection band over a wavelength region determined by their reflective index and pitch. In a planar device where the molecules are aligned unidirectionally at… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2023 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9718

Abstract: Abstract The seasonal flood pulse in Amazonia can be considered a primary driver of community structure in floodplain environments. Although this natural periodic disturbance is part of the landscape dynamics, the seasonal inundation presents a… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Ecology"

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.1633

Abstract: Variation in selection among populations and years has important implications for evolutionary trajectories of populations. Yet, the agents of selection causing this variation have rarely been identified. Selection on the time of reproduction within a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/smll.202102062

Abstract: Spiral ganglion neuron (SGN) degeneration can lead to severe hearing loss, and the directional regeneration of SGNs has shown great potential for improving the efficacy of auditory therapy. Here, a novel 3D conductive microstructure with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-019-01755-2

Abstract: In this study we investigate the environmental factors influencing butterfly communities and evaluate the Natura 2000 network’s effectiveness in representing butterfly species richness and abundance, taking as a case study the island of Cyprus. We… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Insect Conservation"

DOI: 10.1007/s10841-017-0024-x

Abstract: Tropical dry forests are among the most diverse and threatened habitats in the world, yet they are rarely protected and remain poorly studied. In Brazil, dry forests are naturally fragmented and embedded within various biomes,… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2019 at "Journal of Insect Conservation"

DOI: 10.1007/s10841-019-00175-5

Abstract: Firebreaks are linear strips that dissect the landscape and prevent or mitigate the spread of wildfires in Mediterranean landscapes. However, few studies have addressed their potential effect on insect behavior. The lack of traffic and… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of Insect Conservation"

DOI: 10.1007/s10841-020-00218-2

Abstract: Much of our understanding of mutualism is derived from pairwise obligate interactions between specialized participants. These observations may not adequately inform conservation efforts for facultative mutualist species, especially for areas in which invasive species are… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2024 at "Journal of Insect Conservation"

DOI: 10.1007/s10841-024-00589-w

Abstract: The two main goals of peatland restoration are habitat improvement and climate change mitigation by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from damaged peatlands and providing a net carbon sink. The biodiversity of specialist peatland species is… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2025 at "Journal of Insect Conservation"

DOI: 10.1007/s10841-025-00675-7

Abstract: Environmental changes affect the dynamics and behaviour of organisms, especially in the European Alps. Thus, studies on the population dynamics and phenology of organisms provide valuable insights on the population ecology. The Apollo butterfly, Parnassius… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2019 at "Urban Ecosystems"

DOI: 10.1007/s11252-019-00880-8

Abstract: Developing effective butterfly monitoring strategies is key to understanding how butterflies interact with urban environments, and, in turn, to developing local conservation practices. We investigated two urban habitat types (public gardens and restored/reconstructed prairies) and… read more here.
