Aquaculture faces rising climate-change risks, while photovoltaic power generation requires substantial land resources, underscoring the need for multifunctional land use in the energy transition. Aquavoltaics—combining aquaculture with solar power—has emerged, and its success depends on stakeholder cooperation. Using white shrimp aquaculture in Taiwan as a case study, this study examines four cooperation schemes—a sole-invest...

Main conclusion This study demonstrates the use of photothermal AFM-IR and vibrational SFG microscopy to investigate nanoscale chemical heterogeneity and mesoscale cellulose microfibril orientation in hybrid poplar xylem, revealing differences in cellulose microfibril (CMF) orientation between fiber and vessel cell walls that are consistent with their mechanical support and hydraulic functions. Abstract Understanding the struc...

This study describes a new species of armoreye dory, Zenion boops sp. nov., from Dongsha Island, Taiwan, as part of a comprehensive revision of the genus Zenion in the South China Sea. The new species is clearly distinguishable from its tropical congeners, Z. hololepis and Z. japonicum , based on a combination of distinct morphological features, meristic counts, otolith morphology and c oxidase subunit I ( COI ) gene sequences...
