How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

Fueling Tomorrow: Scenario Planning for the Future of Gas Stations

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transport electrification is reshaping the service infrastructures that mediate everyday mobility, yet most electrification scenario studies remain macrolevel and offer limited insight into how incumbent forecourt (gas‐station) networks can adapt under deep uncertainty.

Interface‐Engineered Li–Ni–O/Ni Heterostructures With Tunable Vacancies on Biochar Enable Biomass‐to‐Hydrogen Conversion

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
This study shows that lithium induces Li–Ni–O/Ni heterostructures on biochar, creating oxygen vacancies and optimal acid–base environments that enhance steam activation and suppress carbon deposition. These interfacial effects and synergistic modulation lead to high hydrogen yields at moderate temperatures, providing a scalable catalyst design strategy

Identifying urban morphological archetypes using k-means to analyze spatial heterogeneity of the urban thermal environment

City and Environment Interactions
Complex urban spatial morphology continues to shape the urban thermal environment. Although prior studies have highlighted the influence of urban morphological parameters on thermal conditions, few have translated city-specific characteristics into ...

Fungal Antimicrobial Resistance: Mechanisms, Drivers, and Global Clinical Burden

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fungal antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing concern for world health caused by an increase in multidrug‐resistant infections, an increase in environmental reservoirs, and the ineffectiveness of current antifungal treatments. Fungal infections continue to be largely excluded from AMR initiatives while causing over 1.6 million deaths ...

Microclimate informed design criteria for enhanced building thermal performance

Frontiers in Built Environment
Urban morphology modifies neighbourhood scale microclimatic conditions that influence building thermal performance; however, conventional building energy simulations generally rely on macroclimatic weather data and rarely account for localized climatic ...

Countercation Manipulation Enables Selective Electrochemical CO2‐to‐Formate Conversion Over Bi‐Polyoxometalate‐Derived Catalysts

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Ba2+ salt of Bi‐incorporated polyoxometalate (POM), Bi4 ([Bi4O(γ‐SiW10O36)2(OAc)]7−), immobilized on a carbon support (Ba‐Bi4/C) functioned as a formate (HCOO−)‐selective catalyst for electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). The incorporation of Ba2+ and the formation of highly dispersed Bi species were the key factors for Ba‐Bi4/C to achieve ...

Scale-Dependent Relationships Between Urban Morphology and Noise Perception: A Multi-Scale Spatiotemporal Analysis in New York City

Land
Urban morphology significantly influences residents’ noise perceptions, yet the impact across different spatial and temporal scales remains unclear. This study investigates the scale-dependent relationship between urban morphology and noise perception in
