Illegal wildlife trade is often male dominated at harvest, yet women’s roles across supply chains are under-examined. This study adds substantially to this growing body of knowledge drawing on 112 semi-structured interviews with law enforcement and illegal wildlife trade experts in South Africa, Hong Kong, and Canada. We show women participate in finance and money laundering, brokerage, logistics, retail, online marketing, and...
Detecting atmospheric fronts based on diabatic processes using the dynamic state index (DSI)NARA Subscribed
Atmospheric fronts are associated with precipitation and strong diabatic processes. Therefore, detecting fronts objectively from reanalyses is a prerequisite for the long-term study of their weather impacts. For this purpose, several algorithms exist, e.g., based on the thermal front parameter (TFP) or the F diagnostic that combines relative vorticity and horizontal temperature gradient. It is shown that both methods have prob...
Prediction of cognitive test scores: a comparison of brain structure, health, demographic, and cognitive data across adulthoodNARA Subscribed
Cognitive performance prediction may help identify early cognitive decline. However, the heterogeneity of research findings impedes the identification of key predictors. This study used 21,877 participants (25–74 years) from the German National Cohort (NAKO Gesundheitsstudie, NAKO) to systematically predict cognitive test scores based on brain structure, demographic, health-related, and cognitive data. Importantly, validation...
Associations between sunshine and influenza or influenza-like illness, a systematic review and meta-analysisNARA Subscribed
Influenza and influenza-like illness (ILI) impose an immense burden to public health. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation might impact the spread of influenza. We examined associations between UV radiation and sunshine duration and influenza or ILI. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis including studies with UV radiation, UV index or sunshine duration as exposure and influenza/ILI as outcome. A random-effects...
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...

When considering uncertainty, agroforestry can reduce trade-offs between economic and ecological benefitsNARA Subscribed
Persistent uncertainty about the economic implications of agroforestry presents a significant barrier to adoption. Despite this, most research to date ignores the impact of uncertainty on land allocation decisions, with studies commonly relying on simplistic scenarios involving a dichotomous choice between switching entirely to agroforestry or retaining the status quo system. For a more realistic decision problem, we explored...
Experimental harvests of Fucus beds were conducted at three sites in central Denmark applying four harvest treatments: apical tip harvest, full harvest, thinning harvest (full harvest of one third), and control (no harvest) to 1) determine correlations between Fucus areal cover and biomass harvest potential, and 2) examine effects of harvest treatment on biomass yield and recovery capacity. The study examined recovery capacity...
