A Solvent-Free Approach for the Mechanochemical Upcycling of Bio- and Fossil-Based Polyesters Into Value-Added Chemicals and Bio-Based Plasticizers. [PDF]
Mechanochemical upcycling of bio‐ and fossil‐based polyesters with alcohols and amines using MeONa as the catalyst selectively produces synthetically useful diesters and diamides, giving only alcohols as byproducts. This green and efficient protocol is readily scalable and can be transferred to the upcycling of polyester‐based postconsumer waste ...

Metagenomic Detection of Multiple Viruses in Monk Parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus) in Australia. [PDF]
Summary Three viruses from the families Circoviridae, Parvoviridae and Adenoviridae were detected in this study using a non‐invasive, high‐throughput sequencing method. Though their pathogenic consequences are unknown, these viruses may pose a risk of spreading infection within the pet trade.

Opportunistic sampling from the near-threatened Alexandrine parakeet uncovers genomes of a novel parvovirus and beak and feather disease virus. [PDF]
Birds are known to harbour a wide range of pathogenic viruses, including the beak and feather disease virus (BFDV; species, Circovirus parrot), which poses a significant threat to the conservation of endangered avian species. This study reports the genomic identification and characterisation of a novel psittaciform chaphamaparvovirus (PsChPV‐6) and ...
