Seed dispersal distributions resulting from landscape‐dependent daily movement behaviour of a key vector species, Anas platyrhynchos

open access: yes, 2017
Dispersal via animals (zoochory) is a primary mechanism for seed exchange between habitat patches. Recent studies have established that many plant species can survive waterbird gut passage.

Self‐Cascade Catalytic Reaction–Assisted Apoptosis/Calcicoptosis/Ferroptosis Induction with Microsphere‐Aggregated Hydrogels in Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Hyaluronic acid‐dopamine‐based intra‐crosslinked microsphere including cisplatin (HPC MS) is fabricated by spray‐drying and calcium/iron ions are introduced for interparticle crosslinking. Designed microsphere‐aggregated hydrogel (MAH) system including cisplatin/CaO2/FeSO4 can provide apoptosis/calcicoptosis/ferroptosis‐mediated chemo/cascade ...

Donkeys as mobile links for plant seed dispersal in coastal dune ecosystems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Long-distance seed dispersal is a key factor in vegetation dynamics, especially in highly dynamic ecosystems such as dune landscapes. To assess the role of large herbivores in long-distance seed dispersal in dunes, we examined epi- and endozoochory by ...

Photothermal Hydrogel with Mn3O4 Nanoparticles Alleviates Intervertebral Disc Degeneration by Scavenging ROS and Regulating Extracellular Matrix Metabolism

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The MPTT‐nanozyme‐hydrogel system (Mn3O4@ChS‐HA) provides a multifunctional therapeutic strategy for intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD), effectively targeting oxidative stress and enhancing AF repair by restoring extracellular matrix (ECM) and redox homeostasis.

Seed rain and seed bank reveal that seed limitation strongly influences plant community assembly in grasslands. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Dispersal is an important factor in plant community assembly, but assembly studies seldom include information on actual dispersal into communities, i.e. the local propagule pool.

Ideal Molecular Sieving with a Dense MOF for Helium Upgrading with Highly Diffusion Selective Mixed Matrix Membranes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The separation of Helium gas from natural gas is challenging but highly important. MIL‐116(Ga), a “non‐porous” metal–organic framework is used as a molecular sieve to separate He from CH4. Druse‐like MIL‐116(Ga) particles are integrated into polysulfone mixed matrix membranes.

Seed predation and passage time through the digestive tract of captive golden snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellana)

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2019
Seed predation and dispersal by mammals are two key processes affecting the dynamics of plant populations and regeneration of forest trees. Colobine monkeys often consume fruits and are usually assumed to be seed predators, but their role as seed ...

Stable and Dendrite‐Free Zinc Metal Anodes Via Interface Nanoarchitectonics for Aqueous Zinc‐Ion Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores Zn anode challenges in aqueous ZIBs, including dendrites, corrosion, and side reactions, and discusses strategies for improvement through Zn anode, electrolyte, and separator modifications to enhance stability and efficiency. Abstract Aqueous rechargeable zinc‐ion batteries (ZIBs) are emerging as promising candidates for next ...

Modelling the spreading of wilding conifers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
In many parts of the Canterbury high country, conifer seeds are spreading on the wind from exisiting plantations and shelterbelts, leading to a serious weed problem.

Evolution of plant reproduction: from fusion and dispersal to interaction and communication [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Based on the existing data concerning the evolution of the sexual reproduction, it is argued that the processes of sex differentiation and interactions play a key role in evolution. From the beginning environment and organism are unified.
