Advancements in Alginate‐Based Biomaterials for Enhanced Skin Regeneration: A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesInternational Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Alginate, a naturally occurring polysaccharide composed of β‐d‐mannuronate (M) and α‐l‐guluronate (G), has attracted widespread attention for skin regeneration applications due to its exceptional biocompatibility, biodegradability, and tunable physicochemical properties. Beyond its traditional role in maintaining a moist wound environment and providing

Pond frog as a predator of hornet workers: High tolerance to venomous stings

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Some animals use stingers to repel attackers, and some predators have evolved tolerance to such stings, enabling them to consume venomous prey. For example, social wasps, such as hornets, use modified ovipositors as venomous stingers to inject venom, which can cause intense pain in humans.

Distance and habitat drive fine scale stingless bee (Hymenoptera: Apidae) community turnover across naturally heterogeneous forests in the western Amazon

open access: yesSociobiology, 2014
High tree species richness in the western Amazon has been attributed to heterogeneous soils, which harbor edaphic specialist trees. While rapid transitions in tree communities are well documented across these variable soils few studies have investigated ...

A Scientific Note on a Stingless Bee Hive Model for Ecological and Behavioral Studies and for Environmental Education

open access: yesSociobiology, 2019
Stingless bees (Apidae; Meliponini) occupy a great diversity of habitats in tropical and subtropical regions. They are eusocial and live in sessile colonies. Most meliponini species build nests in pre-existing cavities, such as tree hollows and stingless
