Effect of Bonding on the Structure and Properties of Nanocellulose Films

open access: yesBioResources, 2022
In this study, cellulose nanofibers (CNF) were obtained by chemical pretreatment using a rubberwood substrate. Different forms of drying were used to prepare three CNF film variants.

Oosagitta gen. nov. from tropical Africa, with revision of two species and description of four new species (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae, Galerucinae)

open access: yes, 2013
After our taxonomic revision of Ootheca Chevrolat, 1837, and the description of Oothecoides Kortenhaus & Wagner, 2011 and Ootibia Kortenhaus & Wagner, 2012, it became clear that a further four galerucine species, closely related to the above named taxa ...

Reconciling timber extraction with biodiversity conservation in tropical forests using reduced-impact logging [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Over 20% of the world's tropical forests have been selectively logged, and large expanses are allocated for future timber extraction. Reduced-impact logging (RIL) is being promoted as best practice forestry that increases sustainability and lowers CO2 ...

Exploring the efficacy of predacious diving beetles as potential nature-based solution for combatting the invasive mosquito Aedes albopictus (Skuse, 1894) [PDF]

open access: yesNeoBiota
The invasive mosquito species Aedes albopictus (Skuse, 1894) is rapidly spreading in Europe, posing an increasing threat because of its high vector competence for chikungunya and dengue virus.

Impacts of climate warming on range shifts with emphasis on tropical mountains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Climate warming induced range shifts are evident globally for a wide range of taxonomic groups. However, whether such responses have taken place in tropical insect species is unclear.

Achieving High‐Density and Stress‐Resilient Maize Breeding Via Germplasm Innovation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Global population growth and climate change have exacerbated the global food crisis. This perspective presents a conceptual framework focusing on enhancing population advantages. Several novel breeding objectives are proposed to improve density tolerance and stress resistance for yield improvement.

Radial variation of fiber morphology and wood density of the commercial species Drypetes sp. and Myroxylon balsamum

open access: yesMaderas: Ciencia y Tecnología
Studying the radial variation of wood density, an essential biophysical property that reflects the quality of commercial species in tropical forests, is crucial. Understanding how these variations relate to wood anatomy provides valuable insights.
