Home and away: allometry and climate drive morphology of European rabbits in their native and introduced range

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Climatic conditions shape phenotypic evolution by driving adaptations that optimise organismal function. Invasive species provide valuable systems to study these processes, as they often encounter novel climatic conditions in their introduced ranges. The European rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus, native to the Iberian Peninsula, has established populations

In Situ Atmospheric Plasma Treatment Enables First‐Layer Adhesion of PEEK on Borosilicate Glass for FDM‐Printed Non‐Assembly Mechanisms

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
A printhead‐mounted plasma nozzle activates the PEEK melt and the borosilicate print‐bed at the instant of contact. Only this simultaneous in‐situ activation of both interfaces yields reliable first‐layer adhesion (0.22 MPa). ABSTRACT Fused deposition modeling of poly‐ether‐ether‐ketone (PEEK) requires a high‐temperature build plate, yet PEEK does not ...

Rethinking intensification: Biodiversity‐inclusive management sustains coconut yields

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Coconut palm expansion in West Africa will shape rural livelihoods and ecosystems. Our findings show that intensive practices reduce beneficial soil fungi and increase pathogens, threatening long‐term productivity. Lower‐intensity management that retains ground vegetation can sustain or boost yields while improving soil health.

Testing Times: A Structure/Agency Perspective on Becoming a Science Teacher in a Competitive, Exam‐Based Teacher Selection System

open access: yesScience Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While extensive research exists on science teacher shortages, less attention has been directed toward countries facing the opposite challenge: an oversupply of science teachers. This study examines the experiences of prospective science teachers in South Korea, where passing a high‐stakes, annual competitive examination is a prerequisite for ...

The Path to Neutrality: Evaluating Carbon Offsetting Strategies Among Spanish Corporations

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how offset project characteristics and financial conditions shape the intensity of corporate carbon offsetting in voluntary carbon markets (VCMs). Focusing on a Southern European context, the analysis draws on a longitudinal panel of 357 Spanish firms observed between 2019 and 2022.
