Abstract: Marine ecosystems are beset by disease outbreaks, and efficient strategies to control dispersal of pathogens are scarce. We tested whether introducing no-farming areas or 'firebreaks' could disconnect dispersal networks of a parasitic disease affecting the… read more here.

Abstract: Significance Circular economy requires materials with a low carbon and environmental footprint. In this context, algae-derived polysaccharides, being a product of carbon dioxide consumption, represent an abundant and sustainable source for engineering materials. Replacing plastics… read more here.
