Spin Matters: A Multidisciplinary Roadmap to Understanding Spin Effects in Oxygen Evolution Reaction During Water Electrolysis

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This roadmap offers a forward‐looking perspective on spin enhancement in the oxygen evolution reaction. It highlights how combining systematic experiments, advanced computational modeling, and novel magnetic, chiral, or hybrid materials can deepen the understanding of spin‐dependent catalytic mechanisms.

A meta‐analysis of the effects of habitat aridity, evolutionary history of grazing and grazing intensity on bee and butterfly communities worldwide

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2022
A variety of habitat‐associated factors moderate effects of grazing on insect biodiversity. Here, we examine how aridity, evolutionary history of grazing and grazing intensity individually and interactively mediate the effect of livestock grazing on ...

Review of the Challenges and Prospects in Agrivoltaics

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
This articles reviews the recent prospects of agri‐photovoltaics (agri‐PV) across continents. The existing standards and pilot projects to standardize new codes and regulations are discussed. The state‐of‐the‐art agri‐PV scheme's benefits and lackings are presented. Community acceptance and policy barriers are also discussed where prospective solutions

Socioecological Factors and Farmer Perceptions Impacting Pesticide Use and Pollinator Conservation on Cucurbit Farms

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021
While research suggests that pollinator decline is linked with agricultural practices, it is unclear whether farmers share this view and adapt management to promote pollinators based on their understanding of these threats.

The role of pollinator attracting scent in the sexually deceptive orchids Ophrys chestermanii, O. normanii and O. tenthredinifera [PDF]

, 2008
Sexual deception of male bees is one of the most remarkable mechanisms of pollination (Ackermann 1986, Proctor & al. 1996). Flowers of the orchid genus Ophrys mimic females of their pollinator species, usually bees and wasps, to attract males, which try ...

Regional Differences in U.S. Consumer Preferences for Native Woody Shrubs With Varying Aesthetic Characteristics

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Native plants offer a variety of aesthetic (e.g., fall colour, fruit, flowers) and functional benefits (e.g., pollinator friendly, wildlife friendly, water management). How these benefits influence consumer choice and perceived value of native versus introduced plants is not well understood.
