Conventional hydroxyapatite ceramics are brittle and poorly resorbable, limiting their use in bone repair. To overcome these limitations, flexible scaffolds are fabricated using ceramic nanofibers as structural building blocks. Adjusting nanofiber characteristics allows modulating the mechanical properties and degradation, providing a versatile ...

Ontogeny of foraging behaviour in an opportunistic gull inhabiting urban marine ecosystems
Urbanization affects ecosystems by reducing biodiversity and displacing species from native habitats. While some suffer, others, like urban wildlife, adapt through innovative feeding and behaviours that improve their fitness in human‐altered settings. Despite research on wildlife in urban areas, the development of foraging behaviour in urban species is

ABSTRACT The contributions of propagandist and writer Hildegart (1914–1933) to Spanish cultural life are overshadowed by accounts of her unusual upbringing and violent death. This article examines the conditions that enabled the teenager to become a prominent voice for feminism and sexual reform on the eve of Spain's Second Republic (1931–1939).

Abstract During the 1960s, Mexico's Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) embraced Chinese overtures for a commercial opening as consistent with its anti‐imperialist posture, thereby foreshadowing the diplomatic opening to China in 1972. Yet this professed ideological pluralism was eclipsed by an underlying allegiance to the United States' anti ...

Assessing and quantifying variations in the functioning of marine food webs across scales
Abstract The mismatch between the scale of ecological processes and management decisions represents a significant challenge in marine conservation. This misalignment can result in ineffective conservation measures and compromise the sustainability of marine ecosystems.

Climatic change and anthropogenic disturbances are reshaping animal populations. Habitat loss and extreme climatic events are particularly strong drivers of declines in species that depend on forested areas. For migratory songbirds, climate and the persistence of suitable habitat over time are fundamental to sustaining populations annually.

ABSTRACT Between 1609 and 1614, after over a century of forced conversions, cultural oppression and inquisitorial persecution, Spain expelled its morisco subjects. Despite being baptised Christians, the descendants of Spain's Muslim population had been deemed incapable of sincerely following the Christian faith and assimilating into society due to ...

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

ABSTRACT COVID‐19 was a mega‐crisis that disproportionately affected vulnerable groups, with nursing home residents accounting for 30%–60% of COVID‐19‐related deaths in Europe during the Spring 2020. Despite these shortcomings, little is known about how individuals evaluate crisis management by governments compared to performance by service providers ...

This study investigated the genetic diversity and population structure of Raja clavata across the Norteast Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea, on large (between ecoregions) and small (within ecoregions) geographic scales. A panel of 4793 single nucleotide polymorphisms was used across 6902 individuals, collected between 2001 and 2023, to assess genetic
