When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...

Selection for independence of floral and vegetative traits: evidence from correlation patterns in five species

open access: yes, 1996
Underlying developmental and genetic relationships cause positive correlations among the sizes of a variety of plant traits. Selection for functional independence among traits, however, can reduce these correlations over evolutionary time. In 1960, R.L.

Maize Kernel Composition and Morphology Influences Pericarp Retention During Nixtamalization

open access: yesCereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Pericarp retention during nixtamalization directly influences masa quality, affecting texture, machinability, and nutritional content of staple foods such as tortillas and chips. Despite its industrial relevance, the underlying kernel traits that govern pericarp retention remain poorly characterized.

Pollination ecology of the invasive tree tobacco Nicotiana glauca: comparisons across native and non-native ranges [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Interactions with pollinators are thought to play a significant role in determining whether plant species become invasive, and ecologically generalised species are predicted to be more likely to invade than more specialised species.

Simulated Nectar Robbing Does Not Affect Pollinator-Mediated Selection on Floral Traits of Impatiens capensis

open access: yes, 2019
© 2019 International Journal of Plant SciencesPremise of research. Floral traits are thought to evolve primarily in response to pollinators, but other environmental factors can also affect selection on these traits.

Fungal Antimicrobial Resistance: Mechanisms, Drivers, and Global Clinical Burden

open access: yesChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fungal antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing concern for world health caused by an increase in multidrug‐resistant infections, an increase in environmental reservoirs, and the ineffectiveness of current antifungal treatments. Fungal infections continue to be largely excluded from AMR initiatives while causing over 1.6 million deaths ...
