Environmental Impacts of the Bioeconomy: A Systematic Review of Variables, Methods, Sectors and Policy Relevance

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The bioeconomy has become a component of sustainability strategies addressing climate change, resource scarcity and economic transformation. Despite a growing body of literature, evidence on the environmental impacts of the bioeconomy remains fragmented, heterogeneous and distributed across sectors and regions. This paper provides a systematic

Gut Microbiome Functional Reprogramming Reflects Divergent Social Strategies in a Wild Primate

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Wild golden snub‐nosed monkeys employ divergent social strategies, forming reproductive one‐male units and bachelor all‐male units. We reveal that these social structures, intertwined with seasonal diets, drive distinct functional reprogramming in their gut microbiomes. This adaptive microbial plasticity plays a crucial role in primate socio‐ecological
