Towards a better understanding of biofoams: Multi-technique characterization of various tannin-furanic foams to assist in material selection for product design by Thomas Sepperer, Giulia Saccomano, Diana E. Bedolla, Raphael J.F. Berger, Primoz Šket, Elena Longo, Gregor A. Zickler, Saeed Borhani, Diego Dreossi, Lisa Vaccari, Maurizio E. Musso, Francesco D’Amico

“…Condensed tannins constitute the starting point to create tannin-furanic foams, a rigid biobased material that could be a sustainable alternative to those derived from fossil fuel-based chemicals. With the objective of developing novel foam production strategies, three different tannin-furanic foams, namely mechanical, sulfuric and nitric, were thoroughly chemically characterized, and their morphological and macroscopic properties were compared with those of commercial plastic foams made of polystyrene and of polyethylene terephthalate. …”

A Highly Divergent Mitochondrial Genome in Extant Cape Buffalo From Addo Elephant National Park, South Africa by Deon deJager, Marlo Möller, Eileen Hoal, Paul vanHelden, Brigitte Glanzmann, Cindy Harper, Paulette Bloomer

“…This diversity was driven by a highly divergent mitogenome from one sample, which was subsequently identified in another sample via Sanger sequencing of the cytochrome b gene. Using a fossil‐calibrated phylogenetic analysis, we estimated that this lineage diverged from all other Cape buffalo lineages approximately 2.51 million years ago. …”
