A recipe for recovery: diet as a decisive tool in species conservation

Oikos, EarlyView.
Animals consume foods in specific quantities and ratios to meet a multi‐dimensional nutrient target that maximizes their fitness. Attempts to reach this target in an ever‐changing nutritional landscape often influence animal foraging behavior, habitat choice, and food‐web interactions. Consequently, understanding the nutritional ecology of a species is

Viscoelastic Modeling of Stress Relaxation in Model High‐Performance Covalent Adaptable Networks

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Covalent adaptable networks, often referred to as vitrimers, contain a certain fraction of bonds that are able to exchange with other bonds. The ability of this bond exchange to relax stress or result in flow of the material depends on the concentration and specific concentration of these bonds in ways that can be quantified.
