A Bio‐Inspired Perspective on Materials Sustainability

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 22, June 5, 2025.
This perspective discusses natural materials as inspiration for sustainable engineering designs and the processing of materials. First, circularity, longevity, parsimony, and activity are presented as essential material paradigms. The perspective then uses many examples of natural and technical materials to introduce principles such as oligo ...

Monitoring Free‐Living Honeybee Colonies in Germany: Insights Into Habitat Preferences, Survival Rates, and Citizen Science Reliability

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
In this study we examined the habitats, nesting sites, and survival rates of free‐living colonies through personal monitoring of nest sites in Munich (N = 107) and the coordination of Citizen Science monitoring across Germany (N = 423). On average, only 12% of the personally monitored colonies in Munich survived annually, a figure that aligns well with

Multi‐Omics Analysis Reveals TO Gene's Association With Food Selection and Lifespan in Minor‐Worker Ants Post‐Queen Loss

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
Queenless minor workers diminish sugar intake and extend their lifespan. The expression of TO and MRJP1 notably escalated in minor workers with queen loss. Gene TO may trigger pathways in the biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids and autophagy. TO and MRJP1 may jointly participate in the synthesis of MRJPs and contribute to the life extension of ...
