Diet of bird‐like troodontid dinosaurs: synthesis of a contentious clade

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Troodontidae is a clade of small‐to medium‐sized maniraptoran theropods that mainly lived in Laurasia (modern Asia, North America and Europe) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and are believed to have had a variety of diets. The uniqueness of troodontid teeth suggests that they diverged from the typical flesh‐based diet of non‐avian ...

Classifying avian drinking behaviour: ecological insights and implications in a changing world

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water is a fundamental currency of life, and its availability significantly influences animal behaviour, physiology and distributions. However, our knowledge around the dependence on water for drinking and the direct and indirect mechanisms driving related behaviours remains partial in the context of changing climates. Here, we review patterns

A Systemic Model for Understanding Business Interactions With Biodiversity and Ecosystems

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation represent critical threats to human well‐being and economic resilience, challenging businesses to understand and manage their interdependence with natural systems. This study develops a systemic framework—the BioModel—that elucidates the reciprocal relationship between businesses, biodiversity, and ...

Rational Design of Inverted F‐Type Heterojunctions for Photocatalytic Emerging Contaminant Degradation

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
The inverted F‐type ZnWO4/In2S3 heterojunction enables efficient charge separation and retention of strong oxidative capability through interfacial electric field regulation, leading to non‐toxic degradation of contaminants for sustainable water treatment.

Insights into the Photocatalytic Arene Bromination Enabled by Cs2AgBiBr6 Microparticles

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A sustainable photocatalytic bromination of electron‐rich arenes is enabled by low‐toxicity Cs2AgBiBr6 double‐perovskite microparticles using HBr as an atom‐economical bromine source. Surface‐derived bromine radicals drive highly selective mono‐bromination under mild conditions.

Resilience Practices and Post‐Traumatic Growth Among Sudanese IDPs

Conflict Resolution Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper we examine the resilience of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Sudan who have endured various forms of suffering resulting from being targeted or trapped by militants involved in large‐scale violence. Upon escaping the conflict zones, the civilians exhibit strength, adaptability, and wisdom in the face of various threats to ...

Defect‐Engineered Nested Metallic Cu Clusters Enhance CO2 Photoreduction in Photothermal 2D Plasmonic CuSe

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
Solar‐driven photocatalytic CO2 conversion faces charge dynamics and spectral utilization limits. In this study, the nested Cu/CuSe heterostructure effectively enhances near‐infrared absorption, suppress charge carrier recombination, and improve CO production yield and selectivity through the photothermal–photocatalytic synergy. ABSTRACT Photocatalytic

ECOLOGY OF CRABRONID WASPS FOUND IN TRAP NESTS FROM SPAIN (HYMENOPTERA: SPHECIFORMES)

Florida Entomologist, 2005
We report data obtained concerning the occupation of trap nests by xylicolous Crabronidae (sensu Melo 1999) in a study carried out in central Spain between 1992 and 1995. In particular, we analyze the data on the occupation of the nests for Psenulus concolor (Dahlbom), Trypoxylon attenuatum F. Smith, and Trypoxylon beaumonti Antropov. All three species
