Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

The myth of the metabolic baseline: sleep–wake cycles undermine a foundational assumption in organismal biology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Basal and standard metabolic rate (BMR and SMR) are cornerstones of physiological ecology and are assumed to be relatively fixed intrinsic properties of organisms that represent the minimum energy required to sustain life. However, this assumption is conceptually flawed. Many core maintenance processes underlying SMR are temporally partitioned

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

The Strategic Role of Waste Inventories in Industrial Symbiosis: A Simulation‐Based Perspective on Performance and Resilience of Industrial Symbiosis Networks

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ensuring the resilience of industrial symbiosis networks (ISNs) has emerged as a key concern in the literature. However, existing studies focus on network‐level strategies, neglecting the potential benefits derived from strengthening the links between symbiotic partners.

The Role of Sustainable Social Media Marketing Activities in Raising Bottom‐of‐the‐Pyramid Customers' Engagement, Satisfaction, and Subjective Well‐Being

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Though prior studies have explored the effects of firms' social media marketing activities on customer engagement, the dynamics characterizing this association in bottom‐of‐the‐pyramid (BoP) markets remain tenuous, exposing a critical gap. Addressing this gap, we develop and test a model assessing (a) the effects of firms' sustainable social ...
