Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.The study explores how beavers (Castor spp.) affect endangered freshwater pearl mussels (Margaritifera margaritifera) in European rivers. Beaver dams can harm small, fragmented mussel populations by reducing flow, increasing sediment, and potentially limiting host fish movement, while larger populations may benefit from improved bed stability and ...

Multi‐gradient warming reshapes functional traits and adaptive responses of alpine meadow plants
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant functional traits in alpine meadows are critical indicators of ecosystem responses to climate warming, yet dynamic changes in trait networks across warming gradients and their consequences for community functions remain poorly understood.

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Behavioral interventions to reduce demand for threatened freshwater turtles as pets
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Growing demand for freshwater turtles as pets has fueled illegal trade and accelerated wild population declines, underscoring the need for theory‐based demand‐reduction interventions. We conducted a three‐part randomized controlled trial with active turtle keepers (n = 1800) in China to test conservation‐ and legality‐framed messages by ...

Unveiling Entropy‐Driven Hard‐Tough Synergy Mechanisms in High‐Entropy Carbonitride Ceramics
Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.ABSTRACT High‐entropy ceramics manifested promise for extreme environments, yet their phase stability and mechanical synergy mechanisms remain elusive. Herein, entropy‐difference carbonitrides, including (TaTiV)CN, (TaTiVNb)CN, and (TaTiVNbHf)CN, were designed and consolidated via spark plasma sintering.

Glycerophosphocholine‐Mediated Dual Regulation for Highly Stable Aqueous Iron‐Ion Batteries
Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT Iron‐ion batteries (FeIB) offer the advantages of low cost and high capacity, demonstrating potential for large‐scale energy storage. However, severe hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) occurs during cycling, which significantly impacts battery lifespan.

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT Due to their exceptional porosity, structural versatility, and modular coordination chemistry, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as versatile platforms for targeted drug delivery. These structures enable fine‐tuning of pore size, surface activity, and framework stability for the encapsulation of a broad range of therapeutics ...
