Synthesis and Surface Engineering of Two‐Dimensional MXenes for Advanced Functional Applications

open access: yesThe Chemical Record, EarlyView.
This study highlights the synthesis, surface engineering, and advanced functional applications of MXenes, emphasizing key preparation strategies that enable their use in catalysis, energy storage, sensing, and environmental remediation. Two‐dimensional MXenes (2DMxn), a rapidly expanding family of transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides ...

Artificial supplementary food influences hedgehog occupancy and activity patterns more than predator presence or natural food availability

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Supplementary feeding for declining hedgehog Erinaceus europaeus populations is popular in Great Britain and has been suggested as an important factor in explaining higher densities in urban areas compared with rural ones. Occupancy modelling was used to test whether spatial variation in supplementary feeding, natural food, habitat, or predator ...

Fear or feast: small mammal activity increases in the presence of carcasses despite increased threat of predation by black‐backed jackals

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Food acquisition is arguably the most important, and among the riskiest behaviours for most mammals. Carcasses are an ephemeral resource for many scavengers, particularly black‐backed jackals Lupulella mesomelas that prey on small mammals. Landscape of fear theory suggests that prey species should reduce their activity in areas of high predator ...

Multi‐trophic bottom‐up effects of plant functional diversity on arthropod communities in a tropical forest restoration experiment

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant diversity affects both ecosystem functioning and the functional and taxonomic diversity of multiple trophic levels. However, in the literature, it is unclear if this pattern is driven by species richness per se or by the functional diversity or composition (e.g ...

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

open access: yesInsect 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.

Electronic cigarettes for smoking cessation: An overview of systematic reviews and evidence and gap map

open access: yesAddiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Electronic cigarettes (EC) are considered a smoking cessation tool in some countries, such as the United Kingdom, but uncertainty remains internationally over whether their benefits outweigh potential harms when used for this purpose.
