The dual role of detritus as resource and habitat: integrating non‐trophic processes to ecosystem dynamics

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
The diversity of ecological interactions, both trophic and non‐trophic, is central to understanding the assembly of communities. However, we have yet to study non‐trophic processes through their action on ecosystem compartments such as detritus involved in both recycling and habitat provisioning.

Improve the Thermal Conductivity, Insulation Performance and Mechanical Properties of Silicone Rubber by Constructing EG‐PDA‐Cu Hybrid Nanoparticles

Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 64, Issue 15, Page 3147-3161, 1 August 2026.
In this work, a novel expanded graphite‐supported nano‐copper polydopamine composite was designed and synthesized. The procedure involved first modifying EG via a mussel‐inspired technique to deposit a polydopamine coating, after which Cu2+ ions were reduced to immobilize copper nanoparticles onto the EG‐PDA substrate.
