Evolutionary Ecology of Plant-Arthropod Interactions in Light of the “Omics” Sciences: A Broad Guide
Abstract
Aboveground plant-arthropod interactions are typically complex, involving herbivores, predators, pollinators, and various other guilds that can strongly affect plant fitness, directly or indirectly, and individually, synergistically, or...

Flowering responses of the woodland strawberry to local climate and reduced precipitation along a European latitudinal gradient
Abstract
Climate change creates novel environmental conditions that plant species must adapt to. Since plants are finely tuned to the seasonality of their environments, shifts in their phenology serve as some of the most compelling evidence of ...

Genotypic responses to different environments and reduced precipitation reveal signals of local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity in woodland strawberry
Abstract
Abstract Background and Aims Climate change is causing increasing temperatures and drought, creating new environmental conditions, which species must cope with. Plant species can respond to these shifting environments by escaping to mor...

Tuning Breakdown-to-Coercive Field Ratio in Ultra-Thin Al1-xScxN Films via Reactive Nitrogen Atmosphere
Abstract
Al1-xScxN has attracted significant interest due to its large remnant polarization and low processing temperature when compared to other ferroelectric material systems. However, device dielectric failure before ferroelectric switching r...

Nitrogen Vacancies Induce Fatigue in Ferroelectric Al0.93B0.07N.
Abstract
Wurtzite ferroelectrics (e.g., Al0.93B0.07N) are being explored for high-temperature and emerging near- or in-compute memory architectures due to the material advantages offered by their large remanent polarization and robust chemical s...
