Unlocking fruit dimensions: Quantification of functional traits driving plant–frugivore interactions
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Fleshy fruits attract animals to ingest fruit, swallow the seeds, and release them in the landscape, thus facilitating seed dispersal and plant regeneration. Attraction of animal dispersers is achieved via attractants such as color or scent, and rewards like sugars, lipids, and micronutrients.

Mapping molluscan endocrinology: a systematic and critical appraisal
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Historically, a vertebrate‐centric paradigm has framed our interpretation of molluscan endocrinology, with considerable research focusing on vertebrate‐type steroid hormones (e.g. oestrogens, testosterone). However, contradictory evidence on the occurrence of vertebrate‐type steroid hormones in molluscan tissues, and a lack of the specific ...

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.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 ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines consumer purchase intentions for a sofa produced through industrial symbiosis (IS), utilizing recycled textiles and fibers. As a high‐investment product, the IS sofa requires a significant financial commitment and involves complex decision‐making, an area less studied compared with other sustainable goods categories.
