Adhesives are ubiquitous in daily life and industrial applications. They usually fall into one of
two classes: strong but irreversible (eg, superglues) or reversible/reusable but weak (eg …

In an era of global change, thermal biology and ecology are becoming increasingly popular
topics in invertebrate research, including molluscs. However, this area of research is still …

Exploring the reusability of wood-based panels is imperative in the wood industry for
sustainable development and carbon balance. Non-reusable adhesives make wood-based …

The climate is changing rapidly, and terrestrial ectotherms are expected to be particularly
vulnerable to changes in temperature and water regime, but also to an increase in extreme …

Reversible adhesives are widely needed in our daily lives and industrial applications.

Although copper is an essential element for any organism's well-being, it becomes toxic if
present in excess. In the present study, copper was provisioned at 25, 50, and 75 mg/kg in …

Land snails occupy a variety of habitats, with differing temperature and humidity regimes
and exhibit a wide span of adaptations, to withstand abiotic condition changes. The present …

The ambient temperature of the environment influences the life history features of the land
snails, thereby affecting the life history strategies. With the temperature being a reliable …
