Mast years increase wind pollination and reduce seed predation in sugar maple (Acer saccharum)
Abstract Premise In general, mast seeding (intermittent and synchronous seed production) increases plant fitness through economies of scale in which reproduction is more successful in high‐seed years. These benefits have been most studied in wind‐pollinated trees.

Sequence Control in Sulphur‐Containing Ring‐Opening Co‐ and Terpolymerisations
Sulphur‐containing polymers offer unique avenues for degradability, recyclability and optical performance—but their synthesis is often plagued by side reactions. This minireview outlines recent strategies to control or harness O/S scrambling in ring‐opening co‐ and terpolymerisations, enabling precise sequence control.

Enantiopure Chiral Crystals: A Powerful Tool for Absolute Asymmetric Synthesis
This review covers absolute asymmetric syntheses, which allow the preparation of enantiomerically enriched chiral compounds from achiral precursors. By exploiting the crystallization of certain compounds as a conglomerate, enantiopure chiral crystals are spontaneously obtained.
