Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Ultra‐Thick Carbon Microhoneycomb Cathode for High‐Capacity Lithium‐Oxygen Batteries
Carbon Energy, EarlyView.This work demonstrates ultra‐thick biochar‐derived carbon microhoneycomb cathodes for lithium‐oxygen batteries. The penetrated macrochannels serve as highly efficient pathways for Li+ and O2 and provide abundant accommodation space for the discharge product. The optimized cathode achieved a high areal capacity of 38.2 mAh cm–2, providing guidelines for

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.An Artificial metalloenzyme was designed by a Michael addition between a MnSalen complex and a cysteine residue within NikA crystals. The heterogeneous catalyst was found capable of an enantioselective and stereospecific epoxidation of cis‐β‐methylstyrene in cristallo.
