The Lifeboat hypothesis proposes that microplastics act as mobile microbial refugia, buffering environmental stress and enabling persistence, adaptation and dispersal of microorganisms, including pathogens and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) determinants.

Abstract Bioluminescent bays (biobays) are uncommon coastal ecosystems featuring dense populations of dinoflagellates, often found in mangrove‐ringed lagoons with long water retention times and high organic matter (OM) levels. Although mangroves are associated with high dinoflagellate abundance, it remains uncertain how inorganic nutrients compare with

Potassium isotopic compositions and exposure ages of evolved and silica‐rich achondrites
Abstract Some of the oldest igneous rocks in the Solar System include evolved and silica‐rich achondrites that originate from parent bodies less than 1000 km in diameter, referred to as planetesimals. While Earth was initially in a molten state and required continental crust formation and plate tectonics to generate andesite bulk compositions, evolved ...

This paper reports a flow‐based liquid–liquid extraction system for the selective separation of copper from copper–silver leachates obtained from e‐waste. This process enhances sustainability and reduces solvent consumption. In addition, a ligand/solvent regeneration step is described, enabling copper back‐extraction, recycling of the organic ...
