DO BATS USE SCENT CUES FROM GUANO AND URINE TO FIND ROOSTS?

Do bats use scent cues from guano and urine to find roosts?

Selection of habitat is a key determinant of reproductive success, and the process of finding and choosing these sites is often influenced by the presence of conspecifics.Many bats frequently switch roosts, and some bats repeatedly find new roosts.To find roosts with conspecifics or group members, bats can use social cues.However, most research on

How liquids charge the superhydrophobic surfaces

Abstract Liquid-solid contact electrification (CE) is essential to Curtain diverse applications.Exploiting its full implementation requires an in-depth understanding and fine-grained control of charge carriers (electrons and/or ions) during CE.Here, we decouple the electrons and ions during liquid-solid CE by designing binary superhydrophobic surfa

Cardiomyocyte Oga haploinsufficiency increases O-GlcNAcylation but hastens ventricular dysfunction following myocardial infarction.

RationaleThe beta-O-linkage of N-acetylglucosamine (i.e., O-GlcNAc) to proteins is a pro-adaptive response to cellular Gelatin insults.To this end, increased protein O-GlcNAcylation improves short-term survival of cardiomyocytes subjected to acute injury.This observation has been repeated by multiple groups and in multiple models; however, whether
