Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...
Adventively established Leptopilina japonica: a new opportunity for augmentative biocontrol of Drosophila suzukiiNARA Subscribed
The invasive spotted-wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii , has emerged as a significant global pest over the past decade, threatening fruit production worldwide. The parasitoid Leptopilina japonica , presumed native to East Asia, has established adventive populations in Europe and North America and is increasingly recognized for its ability to parasitize substantial proportions of D. suzukii larvae across diverse habitats. Her...

Introduction Systemic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction are potentially modifiable factors implicated in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), which offer potential therapeutic targets to slow disease progression. Methods We investigated the relationship between baseline circulating levels of inflammatory (TNF-α, IL-1ß) and endothelial cell markers (VCAM-1, ICAM-1, E-selectin) and 18-month cognitive decline (ADAS-cog12) in 266 mild...
Marine turtles are considered keystone consumers in tropical coastal ecosystems and their decline through overexploitation has been implicated in the deterioration of reefs and seagrass pastures in the Caribbean. In the present study, we analysed stomach contents of green ( Chelonia mydas ) and hawksbill turtles ( Eretmochelys imbricata ) harvested in the legal turtle fishery of the Turks and Caicos Islands (Caribbean) during...
