The shared benefits of fallen fruits: A novel mechanism stabilizing a nursery pollination mutualism between Sambucus and kateretid beetles

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how cooperative interactions remain stable matters for biodiversity because many plants rely on specialist insects that can also impose reproductive costs. We studied the interaction between Sambucus sieboldiana and seed‐consuming Heterhelus beetles through detailed field observations and pollination experiments.

A more‐than‐human political ecology of Indonesian songbird trade

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Since its inception, conservation science has considered wildlife trade a problem. In focusing on conservation outcomes, conservationists almost completely ignore the welfare of traded animals and plants and the harms they endure. We developed a political ecology approach that incorporates the interconnectedness of people with animals and ...

Pyrolysis‐Engineered Fe/Mn‐ZIF Catalysts: Balancing Activity, Selectivity, and Stability for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Metal oxide‐based catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) have drawn great attention in recent years. However, it remains technically challenging for the precise regulation of the overall performance due to the trade‐off effect among the activity, selectivity, and stability of electrocatalysts. Herein, a balancing strategy to control the

Peptide‐Coupled Gold Nanoclusters: Syntheses, Properties, and Bioapplications

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) have garnered significant attention in biomedicine. Particularly, peptide‐coupled AuNCs (Pep‐AuNCs) are emerging as a fascinating class of cluster probes that enable highly tailorable design in their optical, catalytic, targeting, and therapeutic capabilities via peptide engineering.
