Article Abstract
Information transmission among species is a fundamental aspect of natural ecosystems that faces significant disruption from rapidly growing anthropogenic sensory pollution. Understanding the constraints of information flow on species' trophic interactions is often overlooked due to a limited comprehension of the mechanisms of information transmission and the absence of adequate analytical tools. To fill this gap, we developed a sensory information-constrained functional response (IFR) framework, which accounts for the information transmission between predator and prey. Through empirical evaluation, the IFR provided a biologically grounded explanation for the systematic variation of functional responses. Specifically, it posits that the variation of different functional-response shapes, associated with community stability, is attributable to limitations in sensory information transmission among species. This not only deepens our mechanistic understanding of species interactions but also elucidates how anthropogenic activities are reshaping species interactions and community dynamics by disrupting information exchange through sensory pollution.

The smell of polluted leisure in the Anthropocene: a qualitative arts-based approach to studying sport, eco-emotions, the senses, men, and the environment.

This paper explores eco-emotions and sensory experiences, particularly the sense of smell, of men engaging in sports while navigating pollution along an industrial coastline. Using sensory ethnography that includes experimental arts-based perfume workshops and smell walks, I make a case for bringing analysis of men and sport, the senses, and the environment into closer dialogue with eco-emotions, arguing that doing so has the potential to widen our understanding of men's embodied sporting lives and any associated role in environmental sports activism. Eco-emotions refer to emotional responses to environmental challenges, for example eco-hope and eco-anxiety in relation to climate change and pollution.

P-phenylenediamine antioxidants (PPDs) are widely used in the rubber industry and are increasingly recognized as environmental contaminants, raising concerns about their potential risks to wildlife and human health. Our present study investigated the neurotoxicity of embryonic exposure to a sublethal concentration (0.05 mg/L) of three PPDs (CPPD, IPPD and 77PD) in zebrafish.

Background: Perceived exposure to secondhand smoke has previously not been distinguished from actual exposure dose when considering the association with depression. This cross-sectional study evaluated whether perceived exposure to secondhand smoke was associated with depression after adjusting for biomarker-based exposure.
Methods: Adult non-smokers and ex-smokers ( = 16,926) were sampled from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2014 to 2020 biennially.

Recent respiratory outbreaks have accelerated the innovation of face masks from simple protective supplies to functional and integrated wearable sensors that providing valuable insights into personal health management and real-time environmental monitoring. Herein, we integrate a Janus photothermal comfortable face mask as a wearable sensor for environmental pollutant monitoring. A hydrophobic-hydrophilic micropatterned Janus polylactic acid (PLA) membrane realizes unidirectional transport of exhaled breath condensate from the inner hydrophobic layer to the outer hydrophilic micropatterns.

Wind energy's rapid expansion has led to unintended consequences for wildlife, with migratory bats among the species most at risk. The behavioural mechanisms underlying collisions remain poorly understood, but one hypothesis is that bats are attracted to wind turbine structures. Vision is important to bat orientation and obstacle avoidance, yet it has been relatively understudied in the context of bat-turbine interactions.
