Characteristic Muscle Quality Parameters of Male Largemouth Bass (Micropterus salmoides) Distinguished from Female and Physiological Variations Revealed by Transcriptome Profiling

Biology
Male largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) are often overlooked because females grow faster. We explored the value of male largemouth bass by comparing muscle nutrition, texture, and transcriptomes between males and females.

Business and Biodiversity: Scaling Conservation Enterprises Within and Beyond Place for Transformative Change

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transformative change is required to address persistent and systemic drivers of biodiversity loss. There is an urgent need for innovative solutions that tackle root causes in place‐specific contexts. Evidence indicates that small, innovative, purpose‐driven businesses can serve as vehicles for developing place‐based solutions.

Insights into the effects of environmental factors on phytoplankton and microzooplankton at a basin scale: diversity, assembly mechanisms, and co-occurrence networks

Frontiers in Marine Science
Mastering the characteristics of planktonic microbial communities under the influence of basin-scale environmental factors can provide scientific basis to develop more targeted protection and restoration measures. Here, an environmental DNA metabarcoding

Making Value‐Chain Risks Visible: Extending ENCORE for Systemic Insights

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Businesses in all sectors, including downstream segments, depend on biodiversity and the ecosystem services it sustains, yet firms also exert pressures that accelerate biodiversity loss. The latter generates material risks for both companies and their financial stakeholders.

Effect of environmentally relevant concentrations of estrogens on the aggressive response of male zebrafish

Frontiers in Marine Science
Environmental estrogens (EEs) are diverse and widespread in aquatic systems, influencing fish social behaviour. Prior studies have focused on individual EEs, but their combined effects, particularly at environmentally relevant concentrations, remain ...

Biodiversity Strategies in Action—Empirical Evidence From the Food Value Chain

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is an increasing need for better understanding of firm activities that contribute to biodiversity preservation. Panwar, Ober, and Pinkse offer a valuable typology of corporate biodiversity protection strategies based on temporal and spatial dimensions, namely, the preloss (proactive) strategies of conservation and compensation, and the ...

A Typology of Corporate Actions for a Nature‐Positive Future

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Achieving the global goal of halting and reversing biodiversity loss requires a step up in corporate action and accountability. This includes addressing indirect, diffuse or historical impacts on nature across the value chain—forming a complex landscape of potential actions for businesses as they develop their corporate nature strategy.

Water‐based drilling fluids formulated with mature fine tailings

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Mature fine tailings (MFT) are persistent, highly stable colloidal suspensions generated as byproducts of bitumen extraction from oil sands. Given their environmental risks, identifying viable applications for MFT could reduce their accumulation while offsetting natural resource use.

Remediation of Organic Pollutant for Wastewater Treatment by Employing Sustainable Graphene Oxide/NiO‐ZrO2/Zeolite Ternary Composite Material

CleanMat, EarlyView.
Graphene oxide/NiO‐ZrO2/zeolite ternary composite was synthesized hydrothermally. Efficient adsorption of Congo red onto GO/NiO‐ZrO2/zeolite composite was studied. ABSTRACT The present study employs a novel method for the synthesis of graphene oxide (GO) based ternary composite utilized for the adsorption of Congo red (CR), an anionic dye molecule. The

Dental development in the tropical gar (Atractosteus tropicus) and the evolution of vertebrate dentitions

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dentitions have diversified enormously during vertebrate evolution, involving reductions, modifications, or allocations to prey seizing and processing regions. A combination of ancient and novel features related to dental and oropharyngeal apparatuses is found in extant lineages of non‐teleost fishes, such as the gars.
