Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Industrial clusters are central to the circular economy transition, yet how they develop into eco‐clusters and the paradoxical tensions this transformation fuels remain underexplored. Drawing on 48 in‐depth interviews and secondary data from a Turkish textile‐recycling cluster, we develop an empirically grounded model of eco‐cluster transition

FlexMat, EarlyView.Centered on the multiscale meniscus, this review dissects mass transport in meniscus‐guided coating into parallel and lateral components. By analyzing the balance of multiple factors during crystallization, it establishes a clear morphology‐performance relationship.

Interdisciplinary Materials, EarlyView.Vibrations in matter, from spider webs to molecules, water to flames, share a grammar with music. We propose that creativity emerges when constraints force expansion beyond existing possibilities. Selective imperfection restores balance, enabling invention.

Reciprocal genomic evolution in the ant–fungus agricultural symbiosis
Nature Communications, 2016 Attine ants, including the leaf-cutting ants, cultivate fungi as their sole source of food. Here, Nygaard et al. use whole genome and transcriptome sequences from seven ant species and their fungal cultivars to reconstruct the reciprocal genetic changes ...

Improved Post‐Processing Framework for Whole Slide Imaging and 3D Reconstruction
Microscopy Research and Technique, EarlyView.Workflow for 3D reconstruction of marmoset whole‐slide histology. Individual tiles undergo vignette correction to address illumination artifacts before stitching into full‐section images. Sections are then reconstructed using the Possum framework, with a level‐set method incorporated at the nonlinear deformable stage to stabilize alignment and reduce ...

Mutualistic interactions between ants and fungi: A review
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 The large amount of dead plant biomass caused by the final extinction events triggered a fungi proliferation that mostly differentiated into saprophytes degrading organic matter; others became parasites, predators, likely commensals, and mutualists ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Tropical forests are rapidly declining. One promising strategy to reverse the loss of tropical forest is the establishment of agroforestry on open land. We combined interviews with biodiversity surveys to learn general lessons from success and nonsuccess stories of the establishment of open‐land‐derived coffee agroforests in one of the world's ...

Reconstructing the functions of endosymbiotic Mollicutes in fungus-growing ants
eLife, 2018 Mollicutes, a widespread class of bacteria associated with animals and plants, were recently identified as abundant abdominal endosymbionts in healthy workers of attine fungus-farming leaf-cutting ants.
