Venation networks and the origin of the leaf economics spectrum

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a comprehensive framework for the origin of this leaf economics spectrum based on venation-mediated economic strategies, and showed that selection to optimize the venation network predicts the mean global trait-trait scaling relationships across 2548 species.

Hierarchically Structured Nanomaterials for Electrochemical Energy Conversion.

TL;DR: A comparative state-of-the-art review of catalysts and supports is provided along with detailed synthesis methods to improve the design of hierarchical nanomaterials and nature-inspired electrochemical devices.

PERSPECTIVE Venation networks and the origin of the leaf economics spectrum

TL;DR: A novel quantitative model is developed that shows that selection to optimize the venation network predicts the mean global trait-trait scaling relationships across 2548 species, and indicates that selection on venation geometry is a fundamental basis for understanding the diversity of leaf form and function, and the carbon balance of leaves.
