Advancements in 3D Printing of Self‐Healing Polymer Systems
Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.This review provides an overview of the most common 3D printing technologies and summarizes the numerous methods to produce self‐healing materials. The challenges and strategies used to adapt these methods to 3D printing are then highlighted to provide a framework for future research in 3D printing self‐healing polymer systems.

A Self‐Healing Conductive PVP/SUM Hydrogel for Real‐Time Human Motion Detection
Nano Select, EarlyView.The PVP/SUM hydrogel exhibits self‐healing, conductivity, and strong mechanical performance due to H‐bonds and dipole–dipole interactions. It elongates up to 330% and shows fracture strength between 0.9 and 1.5 MPa under varying strain rates. With a conductivity of 3.28 × 10−5 S/cm, it responds rapidly to human motion, enabling real‐time monitoring for

Generalist‐pollinated Arabis alpina exhibits floral scent variation at multiple scales
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Plants that depend on animals for reproduction often use complex floral traits to attract pollinators. Floral scent is recognized as part of the pollinator attraction module and can be shaped by plant‐pollinator interactions. In recent decades, research has started to reveal the dynamic properties of floral scent, identifying patterns of spatial and ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Humans are thought to have a disproportionately negative impact on wildlife and are viewed by some as the ultimate ‘super predator'. This view implies that wild animals perceive humans primarily as predators. However, a growing body of evidence shows that wildlife can have remarkable tolerance for, or even attraction to, humans.

Oikos, EarlyView.Seasonality in temperate ecosystems shapes species phenology, influencing interactions and food web structure. Variations in species richness and biomass affect trophic interaction strength, a crucial factor for community stability, which can be assessed through energy fluxes – an essential indicator of ecosystem function.
