Circular and Bio‐Sourced Polymers for Energy Applications: Natural Feedstocks, Recycling, and Upcycling Routes

open access: yesEcoEnergy, EarlyView.
This review provides a critical comparative analysis of circular and bio‐sourced polymers for energy storage, systematically evaluating natural feedstocks alongside recycling and upcycling strategies for battery components. Key structure–property–performance relationships and inherent trade‐offs between sustainability metrics and electrochemical ...

Necessity knows no law in a snail

open access: yesThe European Zoological Journal, 2017
In the present review, we outline the relationship between starvation and taste-aversive learning (conditioned taste aversion: CTA) in the pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis and introduce the “necessity knows no law” concept. When snails were food-deprived for

Latitudinal effect on the structure of snake–prey interaction networks is mediated by snake species richness

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Despite the growing number of studies on trophic networks in recent decades, there are still important gaps in our understanding of how these networks are structured across broad environmental gradients. These gaps are even greater in some groups of terrestrial vertebrates, such as snakes, requiring a cohesive synthesis of their broader trophic ...

Occurrence of the invasive species Corbicula fluminea (Bivalvia, Corbiculidae) in the Sapucaí River (São Paulo, Brazil) [PDF]

open access: yesBiotemas, 2010
Biological invasions are gaining increasing importance due to the ecological damage and economic impacts caused by the invaders. Corbicula fluminea (Müller, 1774) is an invasive exotic bivalve introduced into Brazil in the 1970’s, and it has colonized ...

Community‐level egg and larval trait interactions with the Amazon River plume determine its role as a dispersal barrier

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
The Amazon River plume (ARP) functions as a dynamic and porous biogeographic barrier whose permeability to larval dispersal depends on the interplay between species' biological traits and oceanographic processes. Using biophysical modeling combined with a dual analytical framework, namely a multivariate regression tree (MRT) and a generalized additive ...

Addressing Barriers to Fair Community Participation in Mangrove Carbon Credit Projects: Insights From Thailand

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thailand has announced ambitious plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including a programme that allows private companies to earn carbon credits from protecting and restoring mangroves. In 2023, the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources (DMCR) began enrolling local communities and private firms in this scheme.

Structural and Functional Stability of Natural Actomyosin From Freshwater Snail (Bellamya bengalensis): Unraveling Thermal and pH Effects

open access: yesFood Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Natural actomyosin from B. bengalensis exhibited maximum solubility (∼69.9%) at 40°C and stability near neutral pH, with minimum solubility at pH 4. Surface hydrophobicity and emulsifying activity peaked at 50°C, whereas Ca2+‐ATPase and foaming peaked at 40°C. DSC and SDS–PAGE confirmed denaturation above 40°C.
