Asymmetrical disassortative pollination mediated by long‐/short‐tongued pollinators in a distylous Limonium myrianthum (Plumbaginaceae) with a short corolla tubular small flower

Abstract In heterostylous plants, short?tongued pollinators are often ineffective/inefficient owing to the limitations imposed by a long corolla tube.However, it is unclear how disassortative pollen transfer is achieved in small flowers.We investigated the pollination pattern and floral morph variation by analyzing heterostylous syndrome, pollinato

Generating Information-Diverse Microwave Speckle Patterns Inside a Room at a Single Frequency With a Dynamic Metasurface Aperture

We demonstrate that dynamic metasurface apertures (DMAs) are Backpacks capable of generating a multitude of highly uncorrelated speckle patterns in a typical residential environment at a single frequency.We use a DMA implemented as an electrically-large cavity excited by a single port and loaded with many individually-addressable tunable metamateri

The Combination of Wildfire and Changing Climate Triggers Permafrost Degradation in the Khentii Mountains, Northern Mongolia

High topographic heterogeneity and complex mechanisms between the atmosphere and the ground create unique hydro-climatic processes over mountainous regions.Based on in situ observations, we present the spatial variability of ground surface Backpacks temperature (GST) in the Khentii Mountains of northern Mongolia, which is situated at the southern f
