Eco‐Initiatives and Commitment to the Equator Principles

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Equator Principles (EP) score is a performance code for financial institutions (FIs) based on their commitment to managing environmental issues in project financing. This study examines the impact of environmental initiatives on the adoption of the EP by 204 US financial firms (including banks, insurance companies, investment banks, asset ...

A combinatorial amino acid code for RNA recognition by pentatricopeptide repeat proteins.

PLoS Genetics, 2012
The pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) is a helical repeat motif found in an exceptionally large family of RNA-binding proteins that functions in mitochondrial and chloroplast gene expression.

Climate Change Exposure and Corporate Commitment to SDG 15 (Life on Land): Evidence From S&P 1500 Firms

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The prominent issue at the firm level in US firms is increasing exposure to climate change risk. As climate‐related pressures intensify, firms are expected to play a greater role in supporting global sustainability goals, particularly those aimed at preserving terrestrial ecosystems. This raises an important question: how does climate exposure

Thermal Transformations of Platinum‐Heterobimetallic Iminodiacetate Dithiocarbamates Comprising Group 2 and Group 12 Metal Ions

Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, EarlyView.
The heterobimetallic amino‐acid dithiocarbamates [M(H2O)n]2[Pt(L)2] (M = Ca, Sr, Ba, Zn, Cd; L = N‐dithioato‐iminodiacetate) are thermally dehydrated to their respective anhydrates M2[Pt(L)2], which further yield metal sulfate or oxide particles decorated with finely distributed metallic platinum upon combustion in air. The thermal decomposition of the

Edges as ecological filters: Asymmetrical orientation‐specific arthropod activity across forest boundaries

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Moderate retention forestry creates structurally sharp forest edges that act as ecological filters, shaping orientation‐specific activity of ground‐dwelling arthropods. Using drift‐fence pitfall traps, we show that activity aligned with ecotones is more frequent than activity across forest–clearcut boundaries, particularly among detritivores.

Enriching historical biologging datasets on seabirds using deep neural networks: A transformer‐based approach to infer energy expenditure proxy from GPS and environmental data

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent advances in biologging have led to the widespread use of accelerometers, which generate high‐resolution movement data essential for understanding animal behaviour. Derived from tri‐axial accelerometry, Overall Dynamic Body Acceleration (ODBA) serves as a proxy for energy expenditure that is less invasive and more cost‐effective than ...
