Abstract Background Biomineralization is a vital biological process through which organisms produce mineralized structures such as shells, skeletons, and teeth. Microtubules are essential for biomineralization in various eukaryotic species; however, their specific roles in this process remain unclear.

This review systematically compares photocatalytic urea synthesis from various C (CO2, CO, CH3OH) and N (N2, NH3, NO3−) sources. It highlights C–N coupling mechanisms, key challenges, and future directions, offering a framework to guide rational catalyst design for sustainable, solar‐driven urea production.

Biogeography of intertidal invertebrates is influenced by latitude along the west coast of Australia
Along the west coast of Australia, intertidal rock platforms support high invertebrate diversities that provide vital ecosystem services, yet patterns in diversity are not well understood. Here, we document and examine the invertebrate assemblages on intertidal rock platforms in Western Australia and delineate ecoregions according to assemblage ...

Marine invertebrates and fishes exhibit inconsistent body size responses to ocean acidification
Abstract Body size is a fundamental characteristic of all living organisms that determines physiological functions and life‐history traits. Ecological theory predicts that ocean acidification can cause body size reductions, confirmed by several studies reporting miniaturization in ectotherms.
