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

Toward an SDG‐Based Typology for US Nonprofits

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represent an emerging institutional logic that nonprofits must navigate alongside existing sector‐specific frameworks. Drawing on institutional logics and organizational hybridity theories, we examine how nonprofits incorporate SDGs into their missions and what this reveals about managing institutional ...

Next Generation Hosts for Protein Recognition, Assembly and More

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The original design of synthetic receptors for proteins was based on macrocycles with a hydrophobic core and a polar/charged periphery. This design, geared towards protein recognition, facilitates receptor self‐assembly. Macrocycle oligomerization, in turn, contributes to protein assembly as evidenced in many cocrystal structures.
