Significant fine-scale population differentiation in two common bumblebee species (B. pascuorum and B. lapidarius) detected in Northern Europe

Abstract Bumblebees are keystone pollinators which facilitate the reproduction of a wide range of wild and agricultural plants. Their abundance and diversity have been severely reduced by anthropogenic stressors such as widespread land-use change and habitat fragmentation. Howeve...

Transforming heterogeneous fibreboard waste into form-pressed bio-polyester composites

Abstract Efficient recycling of fibreboard production residues is hindered by their chemical heterogeneity, fine particle size and low bulk density, which limit transport and reprocessing in conventional processing routes. This study investigates the transformation of heterogeneo...
