Influence of Zn2+ and Oxygen Supply on Malic Acid Production and Growth of Aspergillus oryzae

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malic acid is a valuable platform chemical traditionally derived from fossil‐based resources. Microbial cultivation with Aspergillus oryzae offers a sustainable alternative based on renewable feedstocks. In this study, a well‐established minimal medium for malic acid production, commonly used in previous research to ensure reproducibility, was

Spatial metrics in fire ecology: seeking consistency amidst complexity

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Technological advances, including remote sensing, have led to a proliferation of metrics used in ecological studies to examine spatial patterns of fire regimes and their ecological effects. Researchers can use many different metrics to analyse spatial variation in both fire events and resulting fire regimes, including fire size, shape ...

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

A mosaic of microclimates: biodiversity outcomes and wildlife habitat potential in large‐scale solar facilities

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid global expansion of photovoltaic (PV) solar facilities, now comprising nearly 80% of the recent and projected growth of renewable electricity, represents one of the most significant land‐use changes of the 21st century. While PV facilities are critical for decarbonising energy systems, their large spatial footprint and infrastructure

Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over

The Grey Zone of Stakeholder Engagement: Misalignment as a Manifestation of Greyness in Stakeholder Collaboration

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study identifies and conceptualises the grey zone of stakeholder engagement and explores how it manifests in a collaborative context related to the promotion of a circular economy. While prior research on stakeholder engagement has highlighted the positive, value‐creating bright side or the harmful dark side of stakeholder engagement, we ...

Engineering Biochar‐Derived Functional Materials for High‐Performance Supercapacitors: Design Principles, Mechanisms, and Scalable Strategies

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biochar has emerged as a useful and adaptable source of carbon for supercapacitor electrodes. Its value comes from the way biomass chemistry, thermal conversion, and activation conditions shape the resulting pore network, surface groups, and degree of carbon ordering.
