One hundred years of teaching, research, and innovation in chemical engineering at the Faculty of Chemistry, National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM): Birthplace and enduring leadership of the discipline in Mexico

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
The teaching of chemical engineering in Mexico started in 1925 at the Faculty of Chemistry (FQ) of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). Academic institutions, research centres, chemical companies, technological developments, highly trained personnel, and scientific contributions are part of the legacy from FQ‐UNAM.

Soil health assessment using buried cotton underpants with the help of 1000 citizen scientists

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Soil is a vital resource for life on Earth. Although many soils are degraded, societal awareness of soil‐related issues is limited. To highlight soil as a key resource and fascinating study system, we initiated a citizen science project together with 1000 participants investigating soil health across Switzerland using buried cotton underpants.

When is the bait worth the risk? A mechanistic model of a compensatory ecological trap in seabirds

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological traps occur when organisms preferentially select habitats that reduce fitness. In seabird–fishery systems, fishery‐derived trophic subsidies can increase foraging success, reinforce habitat preference and indirectly enhance reproductive output or recruitment,

Early‐life environment drives long‐term decrease in adult body mass in a wild bird population

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using more than 90,000 body mass measures of adult and nestling great tits Parus major, we show that the 1 SD decline in adult mass between 1978 and 2024 is a consequence of changes in the environment (i.e. increase in population density) experienced at early life.

Influence of Alternative Prey on the Functional Response of a Predator in Two Contexts: With and without Intraguild Predation

open access: yesInsects
In biological control, joint releases of predators and parasitoids are standard. However, intraguild predation (IGP) can occur when a predator attacks a parasitoid, potentially affecting pest control dynamics.

Interspecific competition among aphid parasitoids: molecular approaches reveal preferential exploitation of parasitized hosts

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2019
When a guild of species exploit the same limited resources, interspecific competition induces the exclusion of inferior competitors, in which case, interspecific recognition mechanisms are needed.

VTMaxBox: A reproducible practical tool for measuring voluntary thermal maximum in terrestrial ectotherms

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Thermal traits are central to understanding how ectotherms respond to environmental warming. However, not all thermal traits describe the same biological process. Critical thermal maxima quantify physiological failure, whereas preferred temperatures describe thermal selection under choice conditions.

Enhanced fish detection sensitivity in aquatic systems using environmental RNA

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental RNA (eRNA) can potentially augment the biological monitoring ability of the established environmental DNA (eDNA) application in conservation. Despite faster degradation, environmental RNA could offer unique advantages: it may help reduce the legacy signal compared to eDNA, provide insights into physiological status through gene ...
