Electrokinetic analysis reveals common conditioner ingredient interactions with human hair
Novel electrokinetic analysis reveals how cationic surfactant deposition on hair is influenced by chain length and counterion mobility. Longer‐chain surfactants show superior adsorption through enhanced van der Waals interactions, while chloride counterions enable stronger electrostatic interactions.

Abstract To expose the pollution of marshes and swamps, whether by hydrocarbons or other contaminants, the French or Francophone author of the twentieth century must first confront a literary tradition that equates stagnant water with a volatile poison and, more broadly, wetlands with toxic environments. In his article “Wetland Gloom and Wetland Glory,”

We assessed Cyperaceae species composition, richness and endemicity across closed (forest), dry open (dry grasslands, rocky outcrops, bare dry soils), and wet open (marshes, swamps, wet grasslands, riparian areas) habitats in Isalo National Park and the Itremo Massif Protected Area, both in Madagascar's Central Highlands.

La restauration des zones humides [PDF]
Apres avoir rappele les definitions et les typologies des zones humides, s'inscrivant pour la plupart dans les bassins versants, nous montrons l'interet ecologique, economique, sociologique de la preservation des zones humides qui apparaissent alors comme des infrastructures naturelles, aux valeurs fonctionnelles et patrimoniales indissociables, devant

From rhetoric to measurement: The economics of wetland conservation
Abstract Wetland conservation continues to be a pressing issue as wetlands continue to be lost due to urban, industrial, and agricultural expansion. This paper synthesizes the current knowledge about wetland conservation economics in Canada, with a focus on prairie landscapes. We review the methods economists use to empirically measure the costs (i.e.,

Public willingness to pay for wetland restoration in the Canadian Prairie Pothole Region
Abstract Wetlands play a crucial role in the agricultural landscapes of Canada's Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) but are being lost to agricultural and urban development. There is increased interest from governments and conservation organizations in restoring previously drained wetlands, but these projects are costly and associated with intangible ...

Orchids in the Open: Understanding Biodiversity Beyond Madagascar's Forests
ABSTRACT Aim Orchids make up 8% of Madagascar's vascular plant species richness and are typically associated with the island's forests. Yet most of the island is covered by open ecosystems, long dismissed as degraded. This perception has contributed to their neglect, limiting our understanding of species ecology and hindering conservation action in ...
