Beyond birds: rethinking bird‐centered pathogen models in light of insect migration
Ecography, EarlyView.Migration redistributes biomass, nutrients, and pathogens across ecosystems. For decades, migratory birds have been treated as the default long‐distance pathogen vectors, shaping both conceptual frameworks and empirical models of disease ecology.

In Situ Bilayer Interphase Enables Air‐Stable Li Metal Anode for Long‐Term Li‐Air Batteries
ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.An in situ formed bilayer SEI—featuring an Ag/LiF‐enriched inner backbone and a CF3‐dominated hydrophobic outer shell—enables fast/uniform Li+ transport and exceptional moisture‐air stability for Li metal. Lithium metal is an attractive anode for next‐generation high‐energy batteries, but its practical use is plagued by dendrite growth and parasitic ...
