Delipidisation of wool fibres and the subsequent beneficial properties of delipidised wool fibres

open access: yesColoration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Wool fibres are complex matrices of proteins and fatty acids/lipids found both internally and externally. 18‐methyleicosanoic acid (18‐MEA) is covalently bound to the surface of the fibre via a thio‐ester link, and is considered one of the most important lipids as it is responsible for the hydrophobic properties of wool fibres.

Comparative evaluation of reactive dye structures on colour strength enhancement in caustic‐treated regenerated bamboo fabrics

open access: yesColoration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Regenerated bamboo fibres offer a sustainable alternative to conventional cellulosic materials; however, achieving high and reproducible colour strength with reactive dyes may depend on both fibre accessibility and dye molecular architecture.

Beyond the breeding grounds: identifying post‐breeding staging areas, corridors and ecological niche of the Lesser Kestrel

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
The post‐breeding period is a critical yet overlooked phase in the annual cycle of migratory birds, where individuals must resolve competing bioenergetic trade‐offs between recovery from breeding, moult and migratory fuelling. Using GPS data from 54 adult Lesser Kestrels Falco naumanni tracked across Spain, we analysed 76 post‐breeding tracks to ...

Dietary selectivity mediates niche overlap and interspecific competition in a reedbed warbler community in southern Europe

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Sympatric species are expected to use resources differently along one or more ecological dimensions. This can be complex when there is partial separation along multiple dimensions, such as where bird species exhibit similarities in habitat use and diet.
