Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

open access: yesBiological 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 ...

Does Climate Risk Affect Employment Decisions? International Evidence

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the effect of climate risk on corporate employment decisions. Using a large sample from 41 countries, we find a positive association between climate risk and underinvestment in labor, notably manifesting as excessive employee layoffs.

Positional Relationship Between the Orbicularis Oculi and Zygomaticus Complex Muscles by Ultrasonography: New Anatomical Insights for Crow's Feet Injection

open access: yesClinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The orbicularis oculi muscle (OOc) is strongly associated with facial aging as its contraction causes the formation of crow's feet. Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injection is a representative treatment targeting muscle. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the anatomical relationship between the OOc and the zygomaticus complex muscles, and ...

Synthesis and Functional Properties of Fluorinated Phosphonate‐Substituted Porphyrins: Excellent Photosensitizers and Robust Precursors for Photoactive Langmuir–Schaefer Films

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
This is a comprehensive study of new family of high functionalized meso‐tetraarylporphyrins. A synthetic approach to phosphonate‐substituted fluorinated porphyrins was developed. These compounds were investigated with respect to singlet oxygen generation and photostability.

Titanium‐Catalyzed Diastereoselective Keto‐ and Iminonitrile Cyclizations

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The titanium(III)‐catalyzed diastereoselective cyclization of readily‐available substituted ketonitriles gives cyclopentanones in good yield and stereoselectivity. Subsequent 1,2‐addition allows the preparation of cyclopentyls with three consecutive stereocenters.

Post‐Modification of Tripyrenylenes to Enantiopure π‐Extended D3‐Symmetric Propellers

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The post‐modification of tripyrenylenes to π‐extended enantiopure propellers with tris‐phenanthrophenazines is presented and the chiroptical properties as well as the solid‐state packings investigated in comparison to the corresponding racemic mixtures.

Rapid Access to Photoswitchable RNA Binders: Fluorination Enhances Protein Rescue by Exon Inclusion

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
An adaptable approach, many light‐switchable RNA binders. We report a versatile strategy for rapidly synthesizing photoswitchable RNA binders. The ligands can target SMN2 pre‐mRNA, restoring the levels of the corresponding protein by exon‐inclusion rescue.
