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.

Epidemiology as a Cornerstone of Brain Health: From Measuring Burden to Prevention, Equity and Policy

Brain Health, EarlyView.
Epidemiology turns brain‐health evidence into action through six linked stages: characterise burden, map inequalities, identify determinants, evaluate interventions, assess implementation and value and translate evidence into policy, while maintaining data quality, equity, life‐course perspectives and stakeholder involvement.

How developmental stressors affect mitochondrial respiratory function: a systematic review and meta‐analysis

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The environmental conditions organisms experience during early development can have powerful and sustained effects on morphology, physiology, behaviour, and performance. Such developmental effects can influence reproductive success, survival, and life‐history strategies and can be transmitted across generations (i.e.

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Consumer Acceptance of Enabling Agri‐Food Technologies for Sustainable Food Systems: Evidence From Italy

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transition toward more sustainable and innovative agricultural systems increasingly relies on the integration of digital and enabling technologies (KETs). Although the technical and productive aspects of these innovations have been widely investigated, consumer acceptance remains less understood, despite its key role in fostering their ...

From Circular Economy Disclosure to Circular Transformation: A Case Study From Food‐Producing Companies

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Changing the use of resources and the treatment of waste is an important driver towards sustainable development. While this includes transformation of production processes, it also requires the transition of complete business models towards more circularity.
