Basal mantle structure regenerated through supercontinents

Nature Communications
The African large low shearwave-velocity province (LLSVP) advected plumes manifest as large igneous provinces (LIPs) during Pangea breakup. The existence of such basal mantle structures during earlier supercontinents is unknown.

Coinvasional disruptions to island pollinator networks

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biological invasions can adversely affect pollinator diversity by threatening the maintenance of animal‐pollinated plant communities. Although most studies have examined single invasive species, accelerating species introductions driven by global trade highlight the need to understand how multiple co‐occurring invaders jointly influence ...

Three-Dimensional Microstructure and Structural Representative Volume Element of the Intact and Remolded Loess

Applied Sciences
On the Loess Plateau of China, the number of projects involving the excavation of mountains and the filling of valleys to create new land is rising. The loess excavated from the mountain is directly used as building material.

Government support, regional well‐being, and the pivots of UK SMEs during a crisis

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Pivoting—a substantive transformation of the established business model (e.g., reformulation of goods, services, processes, or organizational methods in a new or significantly improved manner)—has emerged as a crisis response strategy of small‐ and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs).

Is One Sample Enough? Testing the Importance of Lateral Sedimentary Variability in Cyclostratigraphy

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Cyclostratigraphic studies of sedimentary rocks traditionally sample assuming that one sample per sedimentary horizon is sufficient. But is one sample enough?

Defining the role of αC helix interactions in the activation of the integrin αI domain

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The α2I domain of the α2β1 integrin contains a distinctive αC helix and a conserved Arg288‐Glu318 ion pair that stabilizes the closed state of the domain. Disruption of this ion pair in the activated α2I variant unwinds the αC helix, which allows interaction with additional collagen‐binding sites increasing collagen binding.

Influence of the Hainan Plume on the Deep Thermal Structure and Shallow Geothermal Field of Southeastern Coastal China

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Thermal anomalies within the lithosphere are an important manifestation of mantle plume–lithosphere interaction. Early studies primarily concentrated on the presence of the Hainan plume and its surface responses, with comparatively little research ...

Seasonality and plasticity in the use of native and introduced plant resources by a large forest parrot

Ibis, EarlyView.
Human‐induced environmental change is reshaping plant communities, requiring native animals to adapt their foraging behaviour to track and exploit novel food resources. Trees such as pines (Pinus spp.) introduced for plantation forestry outside of their native ranges often become naturalized.

Timing pattern of Common Cuckoo parasitism and its relation to host nest attendance

Ibis, EarlyView.
Classical works show the adaptive importance of precise timing of egg‐laying in brood parasitic Common Cuckoos Cuculus canorus to ensure sufficient incubation time and successful hatching. Laying in the late afternoon has been suggested to increase the chance of secretive parasitism and therefore escape the aggressive mobbing by hosts, yet this ...
