Data from: Variations of thermophysical properties and heat transfer performance of nanoparticle-enhanced ionic liquids
No full textThe ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([EMIm]Ac) was investigated as a promising absorbent for absorption refrigeration. To improve the thermal conductivity of pure [EMIm]Ac, ionic-liquid-based nanofluids (ionanofluids) were prepared by adding graphene nanoplatelets. The thermal stability of the ionic liquid and ionanofluids was analysed. The variations of the thermal conductivity, viscosity and specific heat capacity resulting from the addition of the graphene nanoplatelets were then measured over a wide range of temperatures and mass fractions. The measured data were fitted with appropriate equations and compared with the corresponding classical models. The results revealed that the ionic liquid and ionanofluids were thermally stable over the measurement range. The thermal conductivity greatly increased with increasing mass fraction, while only slightly changed with increasing temperature. A maximum enhancement in thermal conductivity of 43.2% was observed at a temperature of 373.15 K for the ionanofluid with a mass fraction of 5%. The numerical results revealed that the dispersion of the graphene nanoplatelets in the pure ionic liquid effectively improved the local heat transfer coefficient by up to 28.6%

Data from: Mate choice vs mate preference: inferences about color-assortative mating differ between field and lab assays of poison frog behavior
No full textCo-divergence of mating traits and mate preferences can lead to behavioral isolation among lineages in early stages of speciation. However, mate preferences only limit gene flow when expressed as mate choice, and numerous factors might be more important than preferences in nature. In the extremely color polytypic strawberry poison frog (Oophaga pumilio), female mate preferences have co-diverged with color in most allopatric populations tested. Whether these lab-assayed preferences predict mating (gene flow) in the wild remains unclear. We observed courting pairs in a natural contact zone between red and blue lineages until oviposition or courtship termination. We found color-assortative mating in a disturbed habitat with high population density, but not in a secondary forest with lower density. Our results suggest color-assortative O. pumilio mate choice in the wild, but also mating patterns that do not match those predicted by lab-assayed preferences
