Operationalizing BioSSbD: A safe‐and‐sustainable‐by‐design framework for biorefineries
Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract Biorefineries are central to the transition toward a circular bioeconomy; however, their increasing scale and technological heterogeneity, and the integration of biological, chemical, and thermochemical processes introduce complex challenges related to safety, sustainability, and operational reliability. Existing Safe‐and‐Sustainable‐by‐Design

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.
