Summary: The theoretical and practical understanding of sustainability implementation has changed, especially with the adoption of circular economy paradigms. While many established firms remain reactive and market-oriented in their sustainability implementations, sustainability-rooted firms actively integrate sustainability practices into their core business. This study focuses on trade-offs among different dimensions of sustainability and identifies a three-stage maturity framework in explaining the pattern of trade-offs. The findings contribute to the theory and provide practitioners with insights to improve their sustainability transformation.

Summary: This study explores the thresholds of trade-offs and synergies in ecosystem services (ESs) with changes in ESs. The results show that most of the synergies have a threshold effect and increase with spatial and temporal scales. The findings of this study are crucial for creating sustainable ESs and achieving sustainable development goals.

Summary: The study found that longevity is not significantly associated with fatty acid unsaturation, but rather with long-chain fatty acids. Different fatty acids or indices were associated with maximum life span, annual fecundity, and basal metabolic rate, indicating that they coevolve with different aspects of fatty acid composition. This challenges the membrane pacemaker hypothesis and suggests that fatty acid composition may not be a key evolutionary constraint underlying life-history trade-offs at the molecular level.

Summary: The drop in salinity in estuaries after heavy rains is expected to increase in frequency and intensity in the coming decades, impacting the physiological and ecological consequences for resident organisms. Low salinity stress was found to increase predation risk on commercial bivalves in Europe.

Summary: The study explores the impact of different seascapes on the trends of fish biomass density in the North Sea. It was found that adjacent seascapes have independent trends, while long-term causal dependencies may exist between different seascapes. The morphology and habitat preferences of fish species may influence short-term causal relationships, while the movement patterns of species can explain long-term causal dependencies.

Summary: There is a growing need to incorporate developmental plasticity into the framework of eco-evolutionary dynamics. The traditional genotype-specified reaction norms focus on genetic inheritance and gene-based phenotype expression, while the proposed developmental system perspective emphasizes the formation of phenotypes during individual development, involving complex interactions among genes, biochemistry, somatic state, and the (a)biotic environment.

Summary: This study focuses on the sexual selection in animals and points out that females in many species can also be signalers. By using the tobacco budworm as an example, the research explores the differences between virgin and mated females in their calling behavior, mating latency, and mate choice. The study reveals that virgin signaling females have a longer signaling duration but are less choosy in mate preference compared to mated females, which can be explained by the higher fitness gained through multiple matings.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between male morph plasticity and food quality in the bulb mite. The results show that the threshold body size for male morph expression decreases with deteriorating food quality, indicating food-dependent allometric plasticity. This plasticity allows populations to adapt to different nutritional conditions, potentially facilitating rapid evolution of scaling relationships.
