Ant Diversity of the Xisha Islands: Community Structure, Exotic Species Colonization, and Ecological Functions in a Tropical Coral Archipelago

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
The first inventory of ants from the Xisha Islands of the South China Sea was compiled, revealing 21 species: 70% native and 30% exotic. Anthropogenic disturbance primarily drove exotic colonization, whereas island area showed weak positive effects on species richness. Most ants were omnivorous, with key mutualistic and seed‐dispersal roles.

Biotic modulators of global change effects on plant communities

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding and predicting future plant biodiversity and productivity is critical for prioritizing global change mitigation, conservation, and restoration efforts. One major challenge is that we know remarkably little about how interspecific interactions may modulate the effects of global change factors on diversity and productivity.

Operations Research‐Based Formalisation and Design of Sustainable Reverse Logistics for E‐Waste Supply Chains

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study demonstrates how a profitable, lean, and environmentally responsible e‐waste reverse logistics system can be designed using integrated Operations Research (OR) techniques. Addressing the growing urgency of responsible consumption (UN SDG 12) and the projected rise of the e‐waste sector to USD 137.60 billion by 2029, the research ...

Locked in Transition: Examining the Role of Paradoxical Tensions in the Transition From Industrial Cluster to Eco‐Clusters

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Industrial clusters are central to the circular economy transition, yet how they develop into eco‐clusters and the paradoxical tensions this transformation fuels remain underexplored. Drawing on 48 in‐depth interviews and secondary data from a Turkish textile‐recycling cluster, we develop an empirically grounded model of eco‐cluster transition

Who Qualifies to Assure? The Professional and Managerial Capture of Sustainability Assurance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how the qualification of assurors in sustainability and environmental reporting assurance (SERA) is constructed and why it remains fiercely contested. Drawing on actor–network theory (ANT) and qualitative evidence from regulators, NGOs, assurors and reporting companies in India, we conceptualise ‘qualification’ as a ...

KIF1A‐Mediated Axonal Transport of Netrin‐1 in iPSC‐Derived Human Forebrain Neurons

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Netrin‐1 is a secreted laminin‐like protein that functions as a guidance cue for axon pathfinding in development. Netrin‐1 also modulates synapse formation in developing neurons and long‐term potentiation in mature neurons. Netrin‐1 is expressed in human neurons; however, its intracellular distribution and trafficking have not been assessed ...
