Bird Decline Patterns of lossBianca LopezWetlands, such as the bald cypress forest at Caddo Lake, Texas, pictured here, are experiencing serious declines in bird populations. PHOTO: WANDERLUSTER/ISTOCK PHOTOWe know that birds are declining globally, but more fine-scale information on population trends is needed to guide conservation efforts. Johnston et al.

Optomechanics Motions of the quantum collectiveIan S. OsborneMicro- and nanomechanical oscillators can now be manipulated in the quantum regime. They can be entangled with other degrees of freedom and used for quantum teleportation and quantum storage. To date, these systems have been limited to single or pairs of oscillators. Chegnizadeh et al. now demonstrate scale-up, preparing a collective macroscopic system composed of several individual mechanical oscillators in the quantum ground state.

Agrochemical Effects A damaging brewSacha VignieriChemicals applied to crops can exert harmful effects at concentrations far below lethal levels. Modern insect populations are exposed to a soup of agrochemicals composed of pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, among others. Although many of these compounds have been tested singly, and for lethality, they neither occur in nature alone nor only affect animals through mortality. Gandara et al.

Comparative Behavior Counting crowsSacha VignieriPHOTO: ABI WARNER PHOTOGRAPHY / ALAMY STOCK PHOTOOpen in viewerNumerical ability has been increasingly identified in nonhuman animals. Animals as diverse as birds and bees have been shown to be able to “count,” and they can discriminate among different numbers of objects or between greater or fewer objects. Liao et al.

Plant Science Volatile communicationAnkit WaliaDevelopment of the pistil, visible here as the central green structure, is guided in part by volatile organic compounds in petunias. Open in viewerPlant responses to chemical signals carried through the air are critical for development, fitness, and adaptation. Stirling et al. identified a mechanism for the perception of the volatile compound (–)-germacrene D through a homolog of the Karrikin receptor KAI2 in petunia pistils.

Perovskites A supramolecular boost to emissionPhil SzuromiPhotoluminescent inorganic compounds embedded in a polymer can be used to create dual-color three-dimensional structures. Open in viewerMany inorganic perovskites can show strong photoluminescence, including ones based on hafnium and zirconium halides, but these compounds are often air and water sensitive. Zhu et al.
