Spawning Asynchrony and Mixed Reproductive Strategies in a Common Mass Spawning Coral by Gerard F. Ricardo, Christopher Doropoulos, Russell C. Babcock, Arne A. S. Adam, Elizabeth Buccheri, Natalia Robledo, Julian Uribe‐Palomino, Peter J. Mumby

“…This supports the existence of smaller breeding units within larger assemblages, density‐dependent population effects and localised recruitment, indicating that these populations may be more hierarchically structured than previously recognised. Given the lack of evidence for in situ outcrossed fertilisation in this natural coral population during a minor spawning event, it appears that P. daedalea may utilise atypical modes of reproduction at low densities as observed here and/or alternatively rely on higher‐density spawning events and favourable hydrodynamic features not captured in this study.…”

Enhanced Selective Separation of Pu(IV) and U(VI) Using Novel Diethylene Glycolamide Ligand by Xiaoyun Guo, Junli Wang, Yao Liu, Haojun Zhao, Hui Wang, Wentao Wang, Baole Li, Taihong Yan

“…The study unveils that the ligand demonstrates remarkable selectivity and separation efficiency towards Pu(IV) ions while maintaining an exceptionally low extraction capacity for U(VI) across a wide acidity spectrum of 0.1~6 mol/L. To explain the structure properties of complex formed by the ligand and Pu(IV), a systematic analysis was performed, including slope analysis, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) titration, and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. …”
