Sustainable dyeing of silk with curled dock (Rumex crispus) extract for trace element removal, ultraviolet protection, antimicrobial and anti‐oxidant activity

Coloration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated the dyeability and functionality of silk dyed with curled dock leaf extract. The effects of sugar content and turbidity in the extracted dye solution on dyeing were analysed, along with K/S values and colour fastness, under varying temperatures and times.

An experimental examination of dispersal decisions made by flight‐capable heteropteran insects in urban stormwater pond conditions

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Salty conditions in urban stormwater ponds can influence dispersal timing in species‐specific ways for actively dispersing aquatic heteropteran insects. Assaying multiple aspects of dispersal propensity, Hesperocorixa obliqua emigrated earlier in stormwater pond conditions while overall probabilities remained unchanged; Notonecta undulata emigration ...

Deep Dark Futures: Foresighting Human Impacts on Mesopelagic Ecosystem Services

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
This study uses foresighting to explore four plausible future scenarios of human activity affecting mesopelagic ecosystem services; provisioning, regulating, supporting and cultural. Using participatory scenario development, qualitative network modelling and indicator design, we assess systemic risks and early warning signals linked to harvest, climate

Divergent exploratory‐avoidant behavioural strategies may drive niche differentiation in juvenile Antarctic fishes

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract We used an ecological niche theory framework integrating physiological and behavioural ecology to understand interspecific differentiation of juveniles of four Antarctic fishes: Trematomus bernacchii, Trematomus pennellii, Trematomus nicolai and Pagothenia borchgrevinki.

Transmission electron microscopy characterisation of Spirulina bioplastics

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Plastic pollution is impacting global ecosystem health. Bioplastics made from unprocessed biomass, including whole or fragmented tissues, are one potential solution. They are biodegradable and exhibit competitive mechanical performance. Seaweed and microalgae have gained popularity over the last decade as bioplastic feedstocks due to their ...

Impact of Environmental Exposure on Infant Sleep : The Exposome Approach

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
This review explores how exposure to environmental pollutants during the first 1000 days of life may affect infant sleep. Evidence suggests potential links between chemical exposures and sleep disturbances, underscoring the need for more research on early‐life vulnerability and the impact of pollutants in air, diet, and breast milk.
