Structural stability of plant–pollinator interactions despite seasonal abundance of long‐tongued hawkmoths

Oikos, EarlyView.
Seasonal environmental cycles affect plant–pollinator interactions by altering plant phenology. Periods of low resource availability can filter pollinators and reduce the complexity of interaction networks, but the extent to which the functional morphology of pollinators influences such filtering remains unclear.

Aromatic plants, nest bacterial diversity, and nestling condition in Corsican blue tits

Oikos, EarlyView.
According to the ‘nest protection hypothesis', some passerines incorporate fresh aromatic plants into their nests which reduce pathogens that can negatively affect nestlings. We experimentally evaluated the effect of five aromatic plant species on the nest bacterial microbiota of Corsican blue tits Cyanistes caeruleus.

Conserving wildlife through demand reduction and supply alternatives: Two experiments in restaurants in Kinshasa

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract High aggregate levels of wildlife consumption in cities in Central Africa highlight the need for solutions that balance wildlife protection, local livelihoods and the relational values between people and nature. This study explores the impacts of demand‐ and supply‐side interventions on wild meat consumption through two randomized control ...

Mutual associations between self‐efficacy and physical fitness in Spanish adolescents: The EHDLA study

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
This study reveals a bidirectional association between self‐efficacy and various components of physical fitness, specifically cardiorespiratory fitness, lower body muscular fitness, and speed‐agility, in Spanish adolescents. Higher physical fitness levels predicted greater self‐efficacy, and conversely, higher self‐efficacy predicted physical fitness ...

Vegetable Oil–Mediated Transesterification as a Green Route to Tune Ethyl Cellulose Properties

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
An environmentally conscious strategy for augmenting the hydrophobicity of ethyl cellulose polymer via a transesterification reaction using renewable vegetable oil. ABSTRACT The inherent hydrophilicity of biopolymers presents significant limitations to their implementation, particularly in coating and packaging applications.
