A Greener and More Scalable Synthesis of Biogenic Polydisulfides from Lipoic Acid
Lipoic acid is an economical and biogenic feedstock for synthesizing recyclable polydisulfides possessing unique properties. Herein, we report a greener and more scalable synthesis of lipoate ester monomers and their corresponding polymers that is backed by life cycle assessment (LCA).

Antibiotic‐Induced Microbial Dysbiosis Worsened Outcomes in the Activity‐Based Anorexia Model
ABSTRACT Objective Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a complex psychiatric disorder characterized by persistent dieting and reduced food intake, leading to significantly low body weight. Dysbiosis in the gut microbiome of patients with AN has been suggested to contribute to the pathogenesis.

Delayed greening, the phenomenon in which expanding leaves appear red, blue or pale green due to low chlorophyll content, has long intrigued ecologists. However, little is known about what type of species are most likely to delay greening or which environmental conditions are associated with delayed greening.

Trade‐offs among restored ecosystem functions are context‐dependent in Mediterranean‐type regions
Global biodiversity hotspots, including Mediterranean‐type ecosystems worldwide, are highly threatened by global change that alters biodiversity, ecosystem functions, and services. Some restoration activities enhance ecosystem functions by reintroducing plant species based on known relationships between plant traits and ecosystem processes.

Prey species adjust their behavior along human‐use gradients by balancing risks from predators and humans. During hunting seasons, prey often exhibit strong antipredator responses to humans but may develop tolerance in suburban areas to exploit human‐mediated resources.
