Catechol‐Containing Poly(2‐isopropyl‐2‐oxazoline): Synthesis and Thermoresponsive Behavior in Aqueous Salt Solutions

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Polymers carrying catechol groups are interesting mussel‐inspired materials for wet adhesion applications or metal ion complexation for wastewater treatment. Here, catechol‐containing poly(2‐isopropyl‐2‐oxazoline)s were synthesized via microwave‐assisted cationic (co)polymerization and examined with regard to their thermoresponsive LCST behavior in ...

Modelling Motion‐Induced Signal Corruption in Steady‐State Diffusion MRI

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Diffusion‐weighted steady‐state free precession (DW‐SSFP) is a diffusion imaging sequence achieving high SNR efficiency. A key challenge for in vivo DW‐SSFP is the sequence's severe motion sensitivity, currently limiting investigations to low or no motion regimes.

Estimating European Pilchard (Sardina pilchardus) Total Length: New Equations for the Ichthyoarchaeological Record

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Throughout its area of distribution, in particular in the Iberian Peninsula, the European pilchard (Sardina pilchardus Walbaum 1792) has been an extensively exploited species since Prehistoric times. Our knowledge of the past fisheries of this clupeid nevertheless remains limited due to a scarcity of ichthyoarchaeological data, which reflects,

The effects of seasonality and parasitism on diet and habitat selection in the common periwinkle

Oikos, EarlyView.
The common periwinkle Littorina littorea is an ecologically important grazer, known for its strong influence on algal communities and its role in structuring ecosystems. It serves as the first intermediate host for several trematode species in the Baltic Sea, especially for the fluke Cryptocotyle lingua.

Identifying knowledge gaps about context dependency in freshwater species invasions

Oikos, EarlyView.
The abiotic template of freshwater ecosystems is being altered by human activity on a global scale, often promoting the establishment of new invasive taxa and increasing the likelihood of facilitation between invaders. These positive interactions represent a substantive threat to freshwater ecosystems by promoting the establishment and persistence of ...

Mistletoe- and Mussel-Inspired Fabrication of Hierarchically Structured Protein-Cellulose Scaffolds From Biomolecular Condensates. [PDF]

Adv Mater
Merging materials processing tricks inspired by mussel and mistletoe fiber fabrication, solutions of cationic mussel byssus proteins were mixed with modified anionic nanocrystalline cellulose, producing distinctive core‐shell condensates. Simple processing of condensate suspensions using freeze‐drying produced hierarchically structured porous protein ...

Marine trophic architecture and hidden ecological connections in the Strait of Magellan: keystone species and ecosystem resilience

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding the ecological implications of species coexistence is central to biodiversity studies and to identify environmental and anthropogenic drivers of ecosystem dynamics, where ecological network analysis offers valuable insights. This study examines the complexity, structure, and potential responses to disturbances of the Strait of Magellan's ...
