Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

Similar biodiversity of ectomycorrhizal fungi in set-aside plantations and ancient old-growth broadleaved forests [PDF]

, 2015
Setting aside overmature planted forests is currently seen as an option for preserving species associated with old-growth forests, such as those with dispersal limitation. Few data exist, however, on the utility of set-aside plantations for this purpose,

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

PCR-based characterisation of entomopathogenic fungi for ecological studies [PDF]

, 2008
The implementation of PCR-based tools for characterisation of organisms has greatly advanced our understanding of the phylogenies and species boundaries in entomopathogenic fungi, especially the widespread taxa Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium ...

Chemo‐Enzymatic Route for Covalent Cellulose Fiber Dyeing

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
This work presents a proof of concept for a chemo‐enzymatic approach to the covalent dyeing of cotton fibers. Laccase/TEMPO oxidation introduces aldehyde groups, enabling subsequent reductive amination with amino dyes. Excellent color homogeneity and wash fastness were demonstrated using acid red 33, highlighting the robustness of the approach and its ...

Valorization of Juice Industry Waste Into Foam‐Like Materials Using Mycelium as Natural Binder

CleanMat, EarlyView.
This study explores converting carrot pomace, a juice industry byproduct, into eco‐friendly mycelium‐based foams using Aspergillus oryzae. The foams, produced via submerged cultivation, grinding and freeze‐drying, showed promising mechanical properties comparable to commercial foams, offering a sustainable alternative to synthetics while promoting ...
