Abstract Biting to obtain attached benthic prey characterizes a large number of fish species on coral reefs, and is a feeding mode that contributes to important ecosystem functions.We use high-speed video to reveal the mechanisms used by a surgeonfish, Acanthurus leucosternon, to detach algae.After gripping algae in its jaws, Accessories the specie
Independence among leaf economics, leaf hydraulics and leaf size confers plants great capability in adapting to heterogeneous environments.However, it remains unclear whether the independence of the leaf traits revealed across species still holds within species, especially under stressed conditions.Here, a suite of traits in these dimensions were m
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of death globally.Currently, clinical diagnosis of CVD primarily relies on electrocardiograms (ECG), which are relatively easier to identify compared to other diagnostic methods.However, ensuring the accuracy of ECG readings requires specialized training for healthcare professionals.Therefor
