PFAS Leaching from Common Sampling Materials Using a Standardized Protocol

open access: yesGroundwater Monitoring &Remediation, EarlyView.
Abstract Accurate measurement of per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in environmental samples requires minimizing external contamination sources, yet the sampling items themselves can introduce PFAS. Existing sampling guidance often relies on precautionary assumptions rather than empirical data, and prior studies have lacked standardized ...

Dietary selectivity mediates niche overlap and interspecific competition in a reedbed warbler community in southern Europe

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Sympatric species are expected to use resources differently along one or more ecological dimensions. This can be complex when there is partial separation along multiple dimensions, such as where bird species exhibit similarities in habitat use and diet.

Impact of ultraviolet radiation‐induced damage to hair fiber integrity: A multi‐technique physicochemical characterization of surface and cortex properties

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
UV exposure induces cuticular and cortical damage in natural hair, with oxidative effects and protein degradation comparable to bleaching. However, double bleaching leads to significantly greater structural degradation, emphasizing distinct mechanisms and severity of chemical versus UV‐induced damage. Abstract The combination of chemist techniques is a

Thermogenesis‐derived spatiotemporal microclimates guide pollinator movement to ensure pollination

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Alocasia odora's microclimatic heterogeneity guides Colocasiomyia fly movement within its inflorescence. During the female stage, midday heat in the upper spadix pushes flies down to the cooler female zone. During the male stage, nocturnal warmth in the upper part pulls flies upward and spathe constriction closes the lower female chamber.

Humidity‐driven shape morphing enhances fog harvesting in porous cactus spines

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Spine straightening and water collection during fog exposure in Turbinicarpus alonsoi. Summary Cacti develop spines instead of conventional leaves, which often serve as mechanical defence against herbivores. However, some cactus species grow porous and flexible spines, suggesting fundamentally different functions.
