The spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Sentience in cephalopod molluscs: an updated assessment

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article evaluates the evidence for sentience – the capacity to have feelings – in cephalopod molluscs: octopus, cuttlefish, squid, and nautilus. Our framework includes eight criteria, covering both whether the animal's nervous system could support sentience and whether their behaviour indicates sentience.

A Universal and Actionable Measure of Corporate Sustainability for Strategic Decision Making

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Managers require a universal, comparable, and decision‐useful measure of corporate sustainability that can reliably inform business strategy, yet such a tool remains absent in the literature and current practice. This paper introduces a comprehensive and operational metric—grounded in Goertz's Basic Framework for developing social science ...

Sex Trafficking Myth Reduction: Evaluating an Educational Approach to Reducing Victim Blaming and Increasing Victim Empathy

Behavioral Sciences &the Law, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examined the effectiveness of a brief educational intervention designed to reduce sex trafficking (ST) myth acceptance. Using a 2 × 2 mixed design, participants (N = 189) viewed either an educational video addressing common ST myths or a control video on human memory.

Hydrogen Bonding is Key Factor in Reversible NH3 Uptake Causing Vapochromic and Magnetochemical Switching in Ni(II) Paddlewheel Complexes

ChemistryEurope, EarlyView.
Nickel complexes showing reversible vapochromic and spin crossover behaviors upon coordination and release of NH3 were synthesized. They bear bidentate pyridazine ligands, which allows for formation of hydrogen bonds between NH3 and the ligand in the second coordination sphere.

Intramolecular N···F Pnictogen Bond Mitigates the Explosive Behavior of Azido‐L‐Phenylalanines

ChemistryEurope, EarlyView.
An intramolecular N···F pnictogen bond is the key for the chemical stabilization of the fluorinated azido‐L‐phenylalanines, mitigating the risk of explosion and thus facilitating the handling and storage of these materials. Organic azides are versatile intermediates but are plagued by intrinsic instability and potential explosiveness. Here, it is shown

Spouted bed drying parameters and adjuvant effects on polyphenol retention and antioxidant activity in mango peel powders

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Spouted bed drying of mango peels with colloidal SiO2 and corn starch produces a free‐flowing powder with reduced agglomeration, increased drying yield, and preserved antioxidant and polyphenol content. Abstract The production of polyphenol‐rich powders is a promising strategy for valorizing agro‐industrial byproducts. This study evaluated drying yield,
