Chinese Pangolin Changes Local Vertebrate Assemblages and Contributes to Their Interspecific Interactions by Burrowing and Revisitation

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In this study, we systematically analyzed the utilization patterns of Chinese pangolin burrows by sympatric species in Guangdong Province, China, including differences in species composition using burrow mounds and burrow tunnels. We found that repeated visits to burrows by Chinese pangolin promoted the use of burrows by sympatric species, suggesting ...

Ultra-strong bamboo macrofibers via selective delignification and microwave drying for lightweight structural composites

open access: yesIndustrial Crops and Products
Natural fibers offer a sustainable alternative to synthetic reinforcements, but their mechanical properties often lag behind those of synthetic fibers. Herein, we report a novel strategy combining selective delignification and microwave-assisted drying ...

ARF6 integrates auxin and gibberellin signaling to promote stone cell lignification in pear via the HB49‐MYB169 module

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Stone cells originate from secondary cell wall thickening and contain abundant lignin. Their excessive accumulation compromises pear fruit quality, yet the endogenous hormonal mechanisms governing stone cell formation remain unclear. Here, co‐expression network analysis using transcriptome data – the flesh of 206 sand pear accessions sampled at

Trade Liberalization and Labor Market Monopsony Power: Evidence From China

open access: yesReview of International Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study the effect of trade liberalization on firms' monopsony power in the labor market. We estimate firm‐specific markdowns from production data in the manufacturing industry and document the trends in China between 1998 and 2007. Taking China's entry to the WTO as a policy shock, we use a difference‐in‐differences (DiD) approach combined ...

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Comparative Assessment of Sensory Comfort Properties Across Eco-Friendly Textile Materials for Apparel

open access: yesJournal of Natural Fibers
This study evaluates the sensory comfort of eco-friendly textiles, comparing natural (bamboo, organic cotton, hemp, jute, soya bean protein fibers), regenerated (Tencel (lyocell)), and synthetic (recycled polyester, recycled nylon) fibers for sustainable
