Portulaca eggliana (Portulacaceae), a new species from the Brazilian Amazonian savannas

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
A new species of Portulacaceae from the Amazonian savannas of northern Brazil is herein described and illustrated. Portulaca eggliana is morphologically related to P. umbraticola, but differs in the number of involucral leaves, sepal morphology, bracteole shape, and seed surface.

Multiple scales of fear: foraging behaviour of white‐naped jays in semiarid landscapes

Oikos, EarlyView.
Animals must constantly balance the need to find resources with the risk of predation. Not only avoiding direct encounters with predators but also assessing the overall risk of their environment using cues, social information or habitat traits at multiple spatial and temporal scales.

Colours of urban selection: carotenoid‐based signals reveal divergent urban/rural evolutionary trajectories in two closely related passerines

Oikos, EarlyView.
Urbanisation is a major driver of environmental change, reshaping ecological and evolutionary processes. Urban‐driven phenotypic differences are increasingly documented, but the underlying role of selection is still understudied. One pattern is the consistent reduction of carotenoid‐based plumage pigmentation in city birds.

Water‐Borne Erosion of Reinforced Polymer Composites: Application to Shallow Offshore Marine Environment

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Comparison of experimental and model‐predicted erosion rates for carbon fibre‐reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fibre‐reinforced polymer (GFRP) under low‐velocity (2 m/s) and at varying angles and sand concentrations (0.0, 0.05, 0.4 g/L). The results demonstrate good agreement between experimental data and model predictions across different erosive ...

Eco‐Friendly Bioplastic Film Produced With Green Plantain Starch (Musa paradisiaca L.): Effect of Activated Carbon Addition and Hydrothermal Modification

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Activated Carbon as a Reinforcing Material for Starch Bioplastics. ABSTRACT Eco‐friendly starch‐based bioplastic films reinforced with activated carbon (AC) were produced using green plantain starch in its native and heat‐moisture treatment (HMT) forms to overcome typical limitations of starch materials, such as low mechanical strength and poor water ...
