Additives Enhancing Biodegradability in Plastics and Potential Implications for Textiles: A Mechanistic Review

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Mechanistic insights from additive‐assisted plastic degradation guide the design of environmentally adaptive textile fibers. Functional additives enhance oxidative, hydrolytic, enzymatic, and microbial degradation pathways. Translating these strategies requires control of fiber architecture, additive distribution, and environmental interactions ...

Enabling the study of gene function in gymnosperms: Virus‐induced gene silencing in Ephedra tweedieana

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise As the sister clade to angiosperms, extant gymnosperms are crucial for reconstructing ancestral gene regulatory networks in seed plants. This highlights the need for model systems representing each of their distinct lineages. However, tools to quickly and effectively investigate gene function in gymnosperms are still limited due to the

Multi-phase modelling of potential drivers for the range expansion of the golden jackal (Canis aureus)

Scientific Reports
Ecological niche models are often snapshots in space and time, providing little information on how niches change in response to changing environmental conditions and species interactions over time. The golden jackal has shown one of Europe’s most drastic

Garryanalyzer: A morphometric workflow and open‐source ImageJ plug‐in for quantitative morphological analysis of Pacific Northwest Quercus leaves

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Accurate species identification is crucial for ecological restoration and can be especially challenging for understudied non‐model species. Quercus garryana is the only native oak species in the Pacific Northwest and is an important component of the endangered oak savanna ecosystem.
