Many different types of insects make seasonal migrations over vast distances, typically from one broad geographical region to another, most often involving a latitudinal change in one direction in spring with a reversal of this direction in autumn. However, a small handful of these species instead migrate from an enormous geographical area to a highly specific destination they have never previousl
Recognizing the novel ways in which queer and feminist struggles for change unfold today, Spaces, Bodies, Revolts: Emerging Digital Cultures, Feminist Struggles, and Global Change explores contemporary protest movements and the ambivalent nature of digital cultures carrying them forward. While feminist and LGBTI+ struggles for rights, livability, dignity and safety have always existed, what is new
Intraspecific variation in phenotypic plasticity can affect the ability of populations, and thus species, to respond to environmental changes. However, the prevalence and drivers of such variation are not well known. Most proposed explanations for intraspecific variation in phenotypic plasticity involve mechanisms associated with a population's position within the species' geographic range or the
We report on the shift of energies released during Auger cascades in rare-gas ions, when the ions are not isolated but embedded in a homogeneous cluster. By combining high-resolution electron spectroscopy with multielectron coincidence spectroscopy of small Ar and Xe clusters, we investigate the dependence of Auger electron emission energies on the charge state of the emitting ion in the polarizab
We study the electronic structure of bulk 1T-TaSe_{2} in the charge-density wave phase at low temperature. Our spatially and angle-resolved photoemission data show insulating areas coexisting with metallic regions characterized by a chiral Fermi surface and moderately correlated quasiparticle bands. Additionally, high-resolution laser angle-resolved photoemission reveals variations in the metallic
The use of Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT is a prominent topicin higher education, prompting debate over their educational impact. Studies onthe effect of LLMs on learning in higher education often rely on self-reported data,leaving an opening for complimentary methodologies. This study contributes byanalysing actual course grades as well as ratings by fellow students to investigateh
The Lepidoptera, butterflies and moths, display an astonishing diversity of spatial orientation strategies essential for survival, reproduction, and ecological success. These spatial orientation strategies range from basic taxes to light, wind, gravity, and chemical cues, to more advanced strategies such as straight-line dispersal, multigenerational migration across continents, and complex trap-li
Context. Terrestrial exoplanets orbiting nearby small cool stars, known as M dwarfs, are well suited for an atmospheric characterisation. Because the intense X-ray and UV (XUV) irradiation from M dwarf host stars is strong, orbiting exoplanets are thought to be unable to retain primordial hydrogen- or helium-dominated atmospheres. However, it is currently unknown whether heavier secondary atmosphe
pyPFC is a comprehensive open-source Python package for setting up, running and analyzing 3D phase field crystal (PFC) simulations. The object-oriented code is designed to take full advantage of GPU acceleration, but can also be ran on purely CPU-based systems. The overarching ambition with the pyPFC package is to provide an easily accessible and computationally efficient PFC simulation framework,
Albeit costly, flight allows birds to travel great distances in a short time, making it a highly effective mode of locomotion, especially during migration.1,2 Understanding how birds use energy during flight is essential for studying their flight ecology.3 To fly, birds flap their wings, accelerating surrounding air and generating flight forces, where the rate of energy added to the wake represent
The recent Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) sets ambitious goals but no clear pathway for how zero loss of important biodiversity areas and halting human-induced extinction of threatened species will be achieved. We assembled a multi-taxa tracking dataset (11 million geopositions from 15,845 tracked individuals across 121 species) to provide a global assessment of space use of
Birds regularly moult their feathers when they are worn from use such as mechanical wear damage due to UV exposure or accidents. Moulting generates temporary, generally symmetric, wing gaps, which can reduce flight performance by altering aerodynamic forces, lift and drag. Birds can compensate for some of these effects through mass loss, enlarged flight muscles, and adaptive wing morphing. To circ
System-level brain modeling is a powerful method for building computational models of the brain and allows biologically motivated models to produce measurable behavior that can be tested against empirical data. System-level brain models occupy an intermediate position between detailed neuronal circuit models and abstract cognitive models. They are distinguished by their structural and functional r
The shifting dynamics of exceptionalism in Sweden are at the center of this chapter, which examines how race and gender are mobilized to reshape the national identity of Sweden. By a close reading of the party programs and related materials of the right-wing parties currently in government, the chapter highlights how a caring form of racism is enacted to reinforce national core values, and how gen
In a world characterized by democratic decline, this book explores the ways in which struggles for feminist, queer and trans rights build imaginaries and shared hopes. Drawing on global and local ethnographic studies, contributors examine protests against the rise of ultra-conservative, right-wing, anti-gender and anti-feminist actors.Contending with neoliberal regimes and actors pursuing a politi
