Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Silica nanosheets (SiO2 NSs) hold great promise for advanced thermal protection applications because of their exceptional thermal and chemical stability. However, their development has been hindered by challenges in scalable synthesis and structural integration for specialized applications.

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 555-568, December 2025.Sri Lanka's biodiversity is threatened by habitat loss, climate change, and ineffective traditional conservation methods. Integrating plant tissue culture and DNA barcoding offers scalable, precise tools for conserving rare and endemic species. This review emphasizes the potential of biotechnological approaches to enhance conservation accuracy and ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.Abstract Identifying refugia from emerging threats is vital to ensure the persistence of rare and threatened species, but modeling habitat distribution for these species is challenging and the role of people in refuge management is rarely considered. Myrtle rust is an emerging infectious disease that represents a grave threat to the rare wetland tree ...

Physiological roles of lignins – tuning cell wall hygroscopy and biomechanics
New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 6, Page 2674-2706, December 2025.Summary Lignins constitute the second most abundant carbon‐storing biopolymers in the biosphere. These phenolic polymers accumulate in different concentrations, compositions, and localisations within and between cell wall layers and cell types. Lignins were acquired during plant terrestrialisation 450 million years ago, and the diversification of their

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 430-441, September 2025.Our study identifies southern China, including mountainous regions and islands, as key areas rich in phylogenetic diversity, and phylogenetic endemism of lizards that are currently under‐protected. Current protected areas however do not adequately cover regions that are critical for preserving the evolutionary history of lizards.

Wildlife Letters, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 109-117, September 2025.We found that the Asian Openbill primarily roosted near waterbodies and frequently used farmland habitats, with significantly higher populations observed during the breeding season. Farmland and wetland areas exhibited a positive effect on the species' habitat use.

Seasonality of temperature dependence of methane fluxes from natural wetlands
Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 9, Page 2383-2397, September 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Temperature dependence is a crucial parameter in estimating methane (CH4) fluxes from natural wetlands, yet our understanding of this parameter remains inadequate. Seasonal fluctuations in water levels and ecosystem productivity lead to seasonal differences in CH4 ...

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 443-452, August 2025.Background – Allergen immunotherapy is used as aetiological treatment for canine atopic dermatitis (cAD). Objective – To assess the anti‐inflammatory agent‐sparing effect over 1 year of immunotherapy using pullulan‐conjugated recombinant Der f 2 (rDf2‐P). Conclusions and Clinical Relevance – Der f 2‐P immunotherapy can lead to a rapid reduction in anti‐

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 188-204, June 2025.We assessed the distribution of 14 threatened agamid lizard species using Species Distribution Modeling to identify hotspots for these species' conservation. Based on the results, high‐priority areas of threatened agamids were projected to occur specially in the wet zone.

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2017 以干湿循环为控制条件，考虑初始干密度、增湿次数和脱湿次数等影响因素，采用室内试验和图像处理相结合的方法，研究云南红土裂缝的产生及其发展演化。控制初始干密度1.20，1.30，1.40，1.50 g/cm3，通过增湿、脱湿的干湿循环及膨胀率等试验方法，观察红土样裂缝的变化，并应用Matlab图像处理技术提取红土样的裂缝特征参数。结果表明：干湿循环作用下，初始干密度越大，红土样越容易开裂，干密度较小时（1.20 g/cm3）土样始终不开裂，随干密度增大（1.30，1.40 g/cm3 ...
