Vegetable Oil‐Based Materials for Drug Delivery Systems and Wound Dressings
Macromolecular Bioscience, EarlyView.Renewable resources like vegetable oils are increasingly explored for biomaterial production in biomedical applications. Their monoglycerides and triglycerides inherently possess functions or can be chemically modified to introduce functional groups suitable for polymerization, yielding biomaterials with desirable properties such as flexibility ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2017 Ants provide a common dispersal vector for a variety of plants in many environments through a process known as myrmecochory. The efficacy of this dispersal mechanism can largely determine the ability of species to track changes in habitat availability ...

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Dielectric barrier discharge ionization (DBDI) sources, employing low‐temperature plasma, have emerged as sensitive and efficient ionization tools with various atmospheric pressure ionization processes. In this review, we summarize a historical overview of the development of DBDI, highlighting key principles of gas‐phase ion chemistry and the ...

Thermal Characterization of Kraft Lignin Prepared from Mixed Hardwoods
BioResources, 2022 Thermal characterization of kraft lignin (KL) prepared from mixed hardwoods was conducted to determine their thermal and thermo-oxidative stability, glass transition temperature (Tg), pyrolysis products composition, and syringyl/guaiacyl ratio.

Detecting and attributing climate change effects on vegetation: Australia as a test case
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Climate change is contributing to vegetation changes that threaten life support systems. Yet, inherent climatic variability and past and present human actions—such as clearing, burning and grazing regimes—also alter vegetation and complicate understanding of vegetation change. Australian ecosystems exemplify such complexity.

Do culturable seed endophyte communities differ between native and invasive Fabaceae sharing the same habitat? [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)Invasive Acacia seeds harbour richer and more functionally diverse endophyte communities than co‐occurring native Fabaceae, which could enhance establishment and invasion success of Acacia. Abstract Invasive plant species threaten ecosystems by decreasing biodiversity and altering their functioning.

Accounting for functional diversity in biodiversity protection measures
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Globally, countries are becoming increasingly committed to conserving biodiversity. Traditional methods of measuring biodiversity are simple and might miss out on capturing some of the more important functional features that comprise ecosystems. We compare a real‐world conservation program with background vegetation data to explore whether these ...
