Selective Sequential Depolymerization of Mixed Plastics Mediated by Photothermal Conversion

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
This work provides a selective sequential depolymerization strategy for mixed plastic waste. The method enables depolymerization of poly(L‐lactide), polystyrene, and poly(ethylene terephthalate), including their post‐consumer plastics. Without presorting, monomer separation is achieved by leveraging the distinct chemical reactivities of each polymer in

Zoonotic Pathogens in Wildlife Traded in Markets for Human Consumption, Laos

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022
We tested animals from wildlife trade sites in Laos for the presence of zoonotic pathogens. Leptospira spp. were the most frequently detected infectious agents, found in 20.1% of animals. Rickettsia typhi and R. felis were also detected.

The use of a severity index to analyse impact of bacterial zoonoses on welfare of wildlife populations

Animal Welfare
Increasing disease outbreaks and declining biodiversity underscore the need for understanding the impact pathogens have on wildlife populations. To understand how zoonoses impact wild animal welfare, we created a severity index.

Adult Sex Ratio as a Demographic Feedback Linking Mating Systems, Parental Care, and Evolution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Breeding systems are some of the most diverse social behavior, and our team is investigation the evolutionary causes of this diversity. This review summarises our research carried out at the University of Bath. We argue that demographic components of wild populations, especially the adult sex ratio, plays a key role driving breeding system variation ...
