Composite Fibers of Hydroxypropyl Cellulose and Alginate Spun From Aqueous Solution: Crosslinking Effects on Water Absorption and Mechanical Properties

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Alginate‐HPC composite fibers spun via CaCl2‐induced gelation process. Fiber diameter ranges from 100 to 200 μm after air drying. Higher alginate boosts water absorption in dried fibers. HPC selectively diffuses out when fibers are soaked in water. Crosslinking with hexamethylene diisocyanate improves mechanical strength.

Multiple barriers maintain species boundaries in sympatric brood‐site deceptive Gastrodia orchids

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Gastrodia orchids are inconspicuous forest plants that lack chlorophyll and obtain carbon from fungi. Their dull‐colored, ground‐level flowers are often hidden among leaf litter, yet they rely on small flies for pollination. We show that two co‐occurring Gastrodia species remain distinct even though they share similar pollinators.

Soil health assessment using buried cotton underpants with the help of 1000 citizen scientists

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Soil is a vital resource for life on Earth. Although many soils are degraded, societal awareness of soil‐related issues is limited. To highlight soil as a key resource and fascinating study system, we initiated a citizen science project together with 1000 participants investigating soil health across Switzerland using buried cotton underpants.

Pollen Exposed to Aerial Pesticide Spray Is a Major Exposure Pathway for Stingless Bees

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Testing possible exposure routes of pesticides is essential for assessing the risks to pollinators. In Australia, the pesticide Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti) is widely used in mosquito control programs and applied aerially to mangrove and

When alien plants become health hazards: An applied study on toxic and allergenic risks in Italy

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Alien plants are often studied for their ecological harm, but their risks to human and animal health remain poorly documented. This study provides the first comprehensive catalogue of poisonous and allergenic alien plants in Italy, identifying which species are dangerous, where they grow and who is most at risk—from children in city parks to pets and ...

Glycosidase Isoforms in Honey and the Honey Bee (Apis mellifera L.): Differentiating Bee- and Yeast-Derived Enzymes and Implications for Honey Authentication

open access: yesInsects
The enzymes in honey can originate not only from bees and the plants from which the bees collect pollen and nectar but also from feed provided by beekeepers. Enzymes that hydrolyze sucrose—present in honey (α-glucosidase) or honey adulterated with invert
