Scientific knowledge-based fishery management is essential to ensure the sustainability of marine resources, particularly in regions where fisheries are data-limited. This study assessed the stock status of six shallow-water demersal fish species (Bagre marinus, Cathorops mapale, Diapterus rhombeus, Eucinostomus argenteus, Haemulopsis corvinaeformis, and Lutjanus synagris) in the Colombian Caribbean Sea using three complementa...

In many parts of the world, natural resources are primarily managed by governance arrangements at the local level. Those arrangements range from collective, such as cooperatives and associations, to individualistic, such as patrons and owner‐operators. A key question is how such arrangements influence resource use and associated social and ecological outcomes. We hypothesize that sustainable resource use is not associated with...

Spatially fractionated radiation therapy, particularly minibeam radiation therapy (MBRT), improves normal tissue sparing while maintaining tumor control compared with conventional radiotherapy (CRT). However, the mechanisms underlying these advantages remain unclear. EVs carrying miRNAs are increasingly recognized as mediators of radiation-induced intercellular communication and may contribute to non-targeted and cohort effect...

Motivation Freshwater ecosystems have been heavily impacted by land‐use changes, but data syntheses on these impacts are still limited. Here, we compiled a global database encompassing 241 studies with species abundance data (from multiple biological groups and geographic locations) across sites with different land‐use categories. This compilation will be useful for addressing questions regarding land‐use change and its impact...

The deep-sea Caribbean lobster (Metanephrops binghami) and the Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) are Nephropidae species of high commercial interest. Although the first one still remains unexploited, the second is overexploited in the Mediterranean Sea. For effective fisheries management, size at sexual maturity is an essential indicator to protect immature individuals from exploitation. The estimation of this indicator can...
