Animating the critical zone: beavers as critical zone engineers by Clifford Adamchak, Clifford Adamchak, Katherine B. Lininger, Eve-Lyn S. Hinckley, Eve-Lyn S. Hinckley

“…Recent calls to advance river corridor research by leveraging a critical zone perspective can be strengthened through the explicit incorporation of animals, such as beavers, into research projects over space and time. This article illustrates how beavers modify the critical zone across different spatiotemporal scales, presents research opportunities to elucidate the role of beavers in influencing Western U.S. ecosystems, and, more broadly, demonstrates the importance of integrating animals into critical zone science.…”

‘Ship-in-a-Bottle’ Integration of pH-Sensitive 3D Proteinaceous Meshes into Microfluidic Channels by Daniela Serien, Koji Sugioka, Aiko Narazaki

“…Three-dimensional (3D) printing based on femtosecond laser direct writing (fs-LDW) is useful for creating 3D microstructures with high spatial resolution because the structures are printed in 3D space along a designated laser light path. High-performance biochips can be fabricated using the ‘ship-in-a-bottle’ integration technique, in which functional microcomponents or biomimetic structures are embedded inside closed microchannels using fs-LDW. …”
