International mobility facilitates the exchange of scientific, institutional, and cultural knowledge.
Petersen finds that mobile researchers gain up to a 17% increase in citations relative to their non-mobile counterparts, which can be explained by the simultaneous increase in their diversity of co-authors, topics, and geographical coordination in the period immediately following migration.
Read about the multiscale impact of researcher mobility from a new paper from the Journal of the Royal Society Interface here: http://rsif.royalsocietypublishing.org/co nte…/…/146/20180580

Image details:... This composite picture was produced from eight photographs taken successively about diff erent lightnings by Kornel Makovics at 20:35 on 6 August 2017 in the Hungarian city Szekszard with a Nikon D500 camera (Nikon objective lens with 17-55 mm focal length, exposure time: 8 times 3 seconds, F-number: 5.6, sensitivity: ISO 100, manual focus) fixed to a tripod.

Plate tectonics is not seen on other planets, so why does it occur on Earth, and when did it start? The latest issue of Phil Trans A aims to answer these questions http://rsta.royalsocietypublishing.org/co ntent/376/2132

Three female Fellows, two Nobel Prize winners, and one former President of the Royal Society are among the lives celebrated in the latest volume of Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society.

Among these is immunologist Brigitte Alice Askonas, pictured here, whose research included studying the roles of lymphocytes and macrophages.

Dr Isaac Vidana reviews the role and properties of hyperons in finite and infinite nuclear systems for Proceedings A. Some of the effects of hyperons on the properties of neutron and proto-neutron stars with an emphasis on the so-called "hyperon puzzle'' are also discussed.

The eye is a remarkable organ. In order for it to rapidly recover from light exposure and adapt to different light intensities, the rod and cone photoreceptors underwent gene duplications more than 500 million years ago. Research published in Open Biology determines this pattern of evolution and shows that the ancestral vertebrate retina appears to have become specialised for both day and night vision even before the pigment for night vision, rhodopsin, had evolved http://rsob.royalsocietypublishing.org/co ntent/8/9/180119

In addition to supporting the largest existing expanse of tropical forests, the Brazilian Amazon has among the largest expanse of mangrove in the world. Until now, no studies have quantified the carbon stocks of these vast mangrove forests. Biology Letters authors found that Amazon mangroves stored over twice those of upland evergreen forests and almost 10-fold those of tropical dry forests. Mangrove conservation in Brazil is of great importance give their values in slowing climate change.

A recent paper in Philosophical Transactions B looking at the impact of the ‘open’ workspace on human collaboration has achieved our highest Altmetric score to date in a very short time. In our latest blog we look at the background to this paper and ask what we can learn from this. http://blogs.royalsociety.org/p…/an-alt metric-success-story/

Next week sees the announcements of the 2018 Nobel Prize winners. Read about the inspiring lives of Royal Society Fellows who received the prestigious award in our special collections of Biographical Memoirs http://rsbm.royalsocietypublishing.org/co ntent/collections

The latest issue of Phil Trans B is on 'Mechanics of development', bringing together scientists looking at the role of mechanical forces in embryonic and fetal development. Several of the papers contain fascinating videos, such as this one of early digestive movements from Nicolas Chevalier's paper. http://rstb.royalsocietypublishing.org/‚Ä ¶/mechanics-developm‚Ķ

Controlling human and animal infectious diseases continues to be a major global challenge. In a recent review article in Philosophical Transactions B, Joanne Cable et al. assess how ecological studies of parasites in a changing environment can be used to inform control programmes for infections of humans and domestic animals. http://rstb.royalsocietypublishing.org/co nt…/…/1719/20160088

The management of water distribution networks presents a great challenge to water utilities. To tackle this challenge, this Proceedings A paper proposes a systematic optimisation methodology together with a novel mixed-integer differential evolution algorithm for automatically and efficiently controlling the water network in real-time. A UK pilot case study suggests that more than 20% cost can be saved with the adaptive pricing. This research is of great interest to practitioners in both the water domain and artificial intelligence.

Angiogenesis plays a key role in cancer progression. Tumour angiogenic factors are released by the tumour into the extracellular matrix, triggering angiogenesis. In the extracellular matrix, the interstitial fluid moves driven by pressure differences, and may affect the distribution of tumour angiogenic factors, and, in turn, tumour vascularization.
Journal of the Royal Society Interface authors are proposing a hybrid mathematical model to investigate the influence of fluid flow in tumour angiogenesis. The model suggests that interstitial flow may produce increased tumour malignancies and hindered treatments.

Microplastics are pollutants often found in rivers, lakes and the sea. Here, they are eaten directly by animals and spread further across water and land. These Biology Letters authors how that microplastics can be eaten by mosquito larvae and these fragments of plastic are retained in adult mosquitoes. Since birds, bats and other insects feed on mosquitoes this allows the contamination of new environments via a previously unknown aerial pathway.

An outstanding mystery in science is how cells of a brain come together to compute. Studying how this works in large brains like that of humans is challenging, so we need to look for other ways to investigate this. The worm C. elegans is one of the most exhaustively characterised animals in biology - we have a huge amount of experimental data on the worm’s genetics and behaviour, in addition to a complete wiring diagram of its nervous system (known as a connectome). The latest issue of Phil Trans B brings together a number of groups who are attempting to consolidate this knowledge into models which can simulate its behaviour on a computer, leading to the possibility of a deeper understanding of how a complete nervous system processes information and reacts to its environment. http://rstb.royalsocietypublishing.org/co ntent/373/1758

Most water and nutrients essential for plant growth travel across a thin zone of soil at the interface between roots and soil, known as the rhizosphere. Plants exude chemicals from their roots to capture nutrients from the soil. These chemicals can also alter the fluid properties at the root-soil interface.
In this work, mathematical and computational modelling is used to investigate how these chemicals, which are present on the length scale of the rhizosphere, effect the fl...ow of water in soil at longer length scales, such as a pot or field.

British scientist and inventor William Henry Fox Talbot FRS died on this day in 1877. A pioneer of photography, he invented the salted paper and calotype processes, precursors to photographic processes of the later 19th and 20th centuries. Read his paper, 'An account of the processes employed in photogenic drawing' from our archive.

Large-scale analyses of the fossil record require data from hundreds of thousands of fossil localities, typically compiled online in archives such as the Paleobiology Database (PBDB). These, however, represent only a small proportion of the millions of un-digitised fossils in museum collections. Biology Letters authors estimate the magnitude of these dark data, finding that their nine museums house 23 times the number of fossil localities for Cenozoic marine invertebrates of California, Oregon, and Washington than are currently in the PBDB.
