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 ...

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.

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 ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Measuring sustainability performance is crucial for small and medium‐sized manufacturing enterprises and sustainability indicators must be incorporated into decision‐making. However, companies tend to measure only the aspects that interest them, disregarding those considered less strategic or relevant.

Status and future of recombinant adeno‐associated virus vector manufacturing
Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.Abstract Sixty years of adeno‐associated virus (AAV) research illustrates a trajectory marked by basic science exploration, iterative innovation, persistent challenges, a number of clinical setbacks, as well as commercial therapeutic triumphs. This continual evolution has led to recombinant AAV (rAAV) becoming a cornerstone of modern gene therapy ...

Raman Optical Activity as a Tool to Monitor Polynucleotide Conformation in Solutions
Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.Raman optical activity (ROA) studies of nucleic acids have been hindered by limited computational tools to link the spectra to the structure. The study shows that accurate density functional simulations are possible for model nucleotides, bringing more information about molecular geometry and dynamics in solutions.
