Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The environmental conditions organisms experience during early development can have powerful and sustained effects on morphology, physiology, behaviour, and performance. Such developmental effects can influence reproductive success, survival, and life‐history strategies and can be transmitted across generations (i.e.

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.

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biochar has emerged as a useful and adaptable source of carbon for supercapacitor electrodes. Its value comes from the way biomass chemistry, thermal conversion, and activation conditions shape the resulting pore network, surface groups, and degree of carbon ordering.

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.Microwave‐driven Ru@α‐Fe2O3 selectively upgrades real‐world post‐consumer mixed polyolefin waste into light olefins with high gas yields and olefin selectivity at markedly reduced temperatures compared with conventional thermal pyrolysis. Strong tolerance of additives and feed heterogeneity highlights an energy‐efficient and scalable route for circular

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.A graded solvation structure is designed through a strongly–moderately–weakly solvating strategy to synergistically regulate potassium polysulfide dissolution and K‐anode deposition behavior. This tailored electrolyte effectively stabilizes the electrode/electrolyte interphases and accelerates sulfur redox kinetics.

Mechanochemical Amidation Mediated by 1,1’‐Oxalyldiimidazole for the Synthesis of Agrochemicals
Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.Mechanochemical amidation using 1,1'‐oxalyldiimidazole (ODI) overcomes limitations of 1,1’‐carbonyl diimidazole (CDI) as coupling agent by enabling the efficient mechanochemical synthesis of three marketed agrochemicals from deactivated carboxylic acids.

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract This study proposes a novel, green, and sustainable method for synthesizing magnetic iron oxides from metallurgical copper slag (CS), leveraging its iron content as a valuable resource. Iron was extracted via acid leaching using edible citric acid (ECA), forming a citrate–iron complex (CSL), which was subsequently thermally decomposed at 300°C
