Solitary insects emerging far from food sources and without access to social learning must therefore employ innate identification of food cues to locate relevant nutritive objects from a distance. Such innate preferences for food cues should be both specific enough to allow discrimination between food and non-food objects and general enough to allow for the variety of food objects relevant to the insect species. Here, we examined innate floral object identification behaviour in solitary generalist insect pollinator <i>Eristalinus aeneus</i> using an artificial floral object with both visual and olfactory cues previously found to be attractive to several hoverfly species across multiple environments. We used a subtractive two choice assay to present flower-naïve <i>E. aeneus</i> with a choice between this object and a similar object that differed in either a single visual or olfactory cue. We found that innate floral choices of the hoverfly <i>E. aeneus</i> are a product of broad, plant-based olfactory cues and visual cues, where a combination of radial symmetry and reflectance in the 300–400 nm and 500–700 nm wavelength range was particularly important for innate floral object preference. Our study, therefore, shows how solitary animals without prior experience can efficiently employ multimodal cues to identify multiple relevant nutritive objects.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":794,"journal":{"name":"The Science of Nature","volume":"112 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00114-025-01965-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143423209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The technology has developed to contain anaerobic MBRs (AnMBRs) due to the profit of generating renewable energy in the form of methane biogas and decreasing the cost of aeration and sludge disposal. Results show that the non-settleable substances and high solid concentrations in AnMBR cause to a significant membrane fouling inclination compared to aerobic MBR. Curiously, there seemed a critical AGS size (1–1.2 mm) for membrane fouling. Above or below critical AGS size, fouling declined as the size increase or decrease. Membrane fouling in MBRs can be reversible (i.e., detachable by physical washing) or irreversible (i.e., detachable by chemical cleaning solely), and can happen on the membrane surface or into the membrane pores. The use of air scouring (for aerobic MBRs) or biogas sparging (for AnMBRs) is widely used for fouling control. This paper provides to review current methods employed to mitigate and control membrane fouling in aerobic MBR, AnMBR and combined MBR systems.

Here we used a large international sample (N = 2035) and novel within-participants testing to show, for the first time, at least two environmental pathways linked to judgement biases: one related to people’s social surroundings and linked with their explicit views on transport, and a separate, more implicit pathway related to higher-level structural influences such as nationality, and living in rural areas. Additionally, respondents dramatically underestimated public support for non-motorised transport relative to their own, a pluralistic ignorance effect likely reflecting another facet of motonormativity. The social-ecological explanation, with its nested environmental influences, helps explain the ‘stickiness’ of automobility, and implies change will be most likely when multiple facets of a person’s social, physical and cultural surroundings align in supporting non-motorised mobility.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":328,"journal":{"name":"Global Environmental Change","volume":"91 ","pages":"Article 102980"},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143422676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we report a highly efficient multifunctional Fe/FeOx/NPC adsorbent, which shows high adsorption capacity for toluene (200 mg·g-1) and ethyl acetate (154 mg·g-1) and 100% regeneration efficiency without deactivation after five cycles. By introducing nano Fe/FeOx, the SBET and pore volume of NPC is increased from 163.66 m2·g-1 and 0.142 mL·g−1 to 361.30 m2·g-1 and 0.22 mL·g−1, respectively. It is achieved by a multifunctional adsorbent that provides efficient adsorption and thermal effect sites (Fe0, FeOx and graphitic carbon), which cooperatively facilitates an adsorption-regeneration. More significantly, the thermal effect sites and diverse pore structures play crucial role in the successive and synergetic separation and desorption of VOCs from multifunctional adsorbent. The thermal effect sites on Fe/FeOx/NPC can effectively inhibit the conversion of the thermal activation reaction of VOCs into high-boiling carbonates, thereby avoiding the formation of heel build-up and deactivation of adsorbents. Our research introduces an efficient VOCs recycling approach enabled by subtle control of the VOCs regeneration on a multifunctional interface.","PeriodicalId":73,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science: Nano","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.131,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143417631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, we evaluate and compare the effects of metal-based nano-copper oxide (nCuO) and bio-based nano-chitosan (nCS) on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) plant growth, soil environment, and non-target organisms (tadpoles). Our results showed that both nCS and nCuO significantly enhanced tomato seedling elongation, shoot and root biomass. Regarding soil health, the low concentration of nCS (10 mg/kg, nCS10) and nCuO (0.1 mg/kg, nCuO0.1) did not affect soil pH, but nCS10 increased soil total carbon (28.0%) and total nitrogen content (64.9%), and nCuO0.1 resulted in the increase in Cu content (104.5%) and decrease in sulfur content. For high concentrations, nCuO (1 mg/kg, nCuO1) and nCS (100 mg/kg, nCS100) both led to a reduction in sulfur without significantly impacting soil enzyme activity. Besides, nCS increased the abundance of beneficial bacteria (Aeromicrobium and Streptomyces) without impairing soil microbial functions, whereas nCuO treatment increased the abundance of Sphingomonas, Streptomyces, and Lysobacter, as well as decreased Iamia, Altererythrobacter, and Vicinamibacteraceae, crucial for nutrient cycling, thus undermining soil metabolic processes. In terms of non-target organism toxicity, although nCS100 exposure induced CAT decline and MDA increase resulting in lower survival rates (50.2%) of tadpoles than nCuO1 (63.2%), both treatments had higher survival rates than conventional pesticides (copper guanidine acetate). Altogether, our research underscores the multifaceted risks of nanopesticides on plants, soils, organisms, offering valuable perspectives for their potential use and the advancement of safer, environmentally friendly alternatives to nanopesticides.","PeriodicalId":73,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science: Nano","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.131,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143401671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conventional agriculture has been heavily dependent on agrochemical use for decades, and although this has increased food production in a way that has benefited billions of citizens, the subsequent damage to terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems has been significant. This is in part due to agrochemical delivery and use efficiency levels that are often 30% or less, leading to over-application to achieve acceptable yield but that results in a significant negative environmental footprint of agriculture. Recent advances in agrochemical delivery have sought to mimic nanodrug delivery systems in health, where materials design and delivery is engineered to be efficient, precise and safe. Consequently, a number of agrochemical delivery strategies have been described in the literature, offering equivalent or enhanced efficacy with reduced environmental impact. Several recent studies have extended this work to targeting specific biotic and abiotic plant stresses, with the goal of developing more sophisticated nanostimulants and nanofertilizers that promote overall climate resilience in agriculture. This paper will review and analyze the vast potential of these agrochemical delivery systems, including an assessment of future directions that could validate the widespread application of nano-enabled agriculture as a critical tool in combatting global food insecurity in a changing climate.","PeriodicalId":73,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science: Nano","volume":"208 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.131,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143401672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the bioavailability of pollutants is often hindered by the strong adsorption to ubiquitous fine colloids. This study provides the first evidence that Rhodococcus biphenylivorans, a known intracellular oxidative degradation bacterium, can reductively degrade organochlorine pollutants adsorbed on biochar colloids (BCCs) extracellularly, besides the oxidative degradation of BCCs-adsorbed pollutants intracellularly. Over a 30-day biodegradation period, the total biodegradation rates of adsorbed 2,4,4'-trichlorobiphenyl (PCB28, 10 mg/L) on BCCs (1 g/L) prepared at pyrolysis temperatures of 300, 500, and 700 ℃ were 59.4%, 34.8%, and 10.4%, respectively. The biodegradation products of adsorbed PCB28 on low-temperature BCCs were mainly chlorosubstituted-2-hydroxy-6-oxo-6-phenyl-2,4-hexadienoic acid-type products, while in the high-temperature BCCs system, dichlorobiphenyl was the main product. Mechanistically, BCCs with the low pyrolysis temperature could fragment during the degradation, facilitating the transport of adsorbed PCB28 into bacteria for the intracellular oxidative degradation; the interactions between bacterial cells and BCCs (especially of high pyrolysis temperature) could stimulate the respiratory chain electron efflux for the extracellular dechlorination degradation. These findings not only provide new insights into the modulatory influence of BCCs on microbial degradation of pollutants, but also enrich our knowledge on the environmental fate of colloids-adsorbed pollutants.","PeriodicalId":73,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science: Nano","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.131,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143401676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
