Fear of grazing rivals the toxin‐inducing effects of nutrients in two marine harmful algae – a meta‐analysis

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT One of the major subfields of chemical ecology is the study of toxins and how they mediate interactions between organisms. Toxins produced by harmful algae (phycotoxins) impact a wide variety of organisms connected to the marine food web. Significant research efforts have thus aimed to identify the ecological and evolutionary drivers behind ...

Defined Glycan Ligands for Detecting Rare l-Sugar-Binding Proteins

Journal of the American Chemical Society
Most cells are decorated with distinct sugar sequences that can be recognized by carbohydrate-binding proteins (CBPs), such as antibodies and lectins. While humans utilize ten monosaccharide building blocks, bacteria biosynthesize hundreds of activated sugars to assemble diverse glycans.

Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

Systematic synthesis of rare sugars and stereospecific conversion via photocatalysis

Scientific Reports
Rare sugars have gained attention as potential raw materials for pharmaceuticals and functional foods. Photocatalysis presents a promising approach for rare sugar synthesis due to its mild reaction conditions and environmental compatibility.

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

Does Stakeholder Pressure Promote Green Innovations and Performance of Agribusiness Companies?

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The sustainability of agribusiness companies is guided by multiple, sometimes paradoxical, interests. Green innovation is strategic for sustainable development; however, literature shows inconsistencies regarding its impact on environmental and economic‐financial performance.

Analyzing the Development of a Sustainable Enterprise in an Emerging Economy: Black Cacau and the Bean‐to‐Bar Philosophy

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines sustainable entrepreneurship (SE) in emerging economies through the case of Black Cacau, a Brazilian bean‐to‐bar enterprise integrating agroforestry, direct trade, and Afro‐Brazilian cultural empowerment. Adapting the Patagonia‐based framework of Allal‐Chérif et al., the study explores how SE operates under conditions of ...

Shedding Light on Synthetic Autocatalysis: From Conventional Closed‐Shell Chemistries to Overlooked Open‐Shell Occurrences

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Why add another catalyst when the product itself holds the power to catalyze its own formation? Autocatalysis in synthetic chemistry enhances reaction efficiency and uncovers novel catalytic behavior across both closed‐shell and open‐shell systems, expanding reactivity and enabling innovative design strategies.
