Biodiversity Strategies in Action—Empirical Evidence From the Food Value Chain

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is an increasing need for better understanding of firm activities that contribute to biodiversity preservation. Panwar, Ober, and Pinkse offer a valuable typology of corporate biodiversity protection strategies based on temporal and spatial dimensions, namely, the preloss (proactive) strategies of conservation and compensation, and the ...

Continental scale metagenomics reveals Microcystis‐induced synchrony among aquatic taxa is exacerbated by trophic cascades

Ecography, EarlyView.
Harmful Microcystis proliferation severely threatens aquatic ecosystems globally, but its impacts on food‐web stability remain poorly understood. Here, we analyzed 1309 metagenomic samples from freshwater ecosystems across China to investigate how Microcystis abundance affects synchrony among taxa in multi‐trophic food webs (from bacteriophages to ...

Photothermal–Magnetocaloric Coupled Evaporators for Actively Adjustable Water Evaporation and Oil–Water Purification in Complex Environments

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A photothermal–magnetocaloric coupled aerogel evaporator is developed for actively adjustable water evaporation in complex environments. Magnetocaloric heating provides active energy compensation under low‐light conditions and disrupts interfacial hydrogen‐bond networks to promote evaporation.

Water Governance Under International Pressure: Policy Narratives, Food Security, Scarcity, and the Politics of Survival in Iran

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water governance is increasingly influenced by a paradox at the nexus of environmental scarcity and food security. Escalating water scarcity crises coincide with geopolitical disruptions that have exposed the fragility of global food supply chains, prompting states to expand domestic food production at the expense of water conservation ...

Inland Saline Lakes as Hotspots of Specialized, Nonmarine Protist Diversity: The Case of Arcellinida (Amoebozoa)

Environmental DNA
Inland saline lakes are dynamic environments with fluctuating salinity levels, sometimes reaching values higher than those of seawater. Their abiotic conditions are often extreme and more unpredictable than in marine systems, which could imply lower ...

Antiseizure potency and neurotoxicity of the enantiomers of fenfluramine and norfenfluramine in rats and correlations with their concentrations in plasma and brain

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Based on the evidence that fenfluramine‐induced anorexia, weight loss, and cardiovascular toxicity are primarily mediated by the d‐enantiomers of fenfluramine and its metabolite norfenfluramine, we investigated pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic correlations for the active enantiomers of fenfluramine and norfenfluramine in the rat ...
