Climate change poses a significant threat to the Afrotemperate flora of the Eastern Afromontane Biodiversity Hotspot, particularly to species confined to high-elevation ecosystems such as those found on the African sky islands. This study evaluates the vulnerability of tropical Afroalpine and Afromontane Helichrysum taxa (Compositae) by assessing their climatic niches and predicting future shifts in distribution, range fragmen...

Streptococcus agalactiae was confirmed as the etiologic agent of streptococcosis in Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) from Campeche, Mexico, during a cross‐sectional investigation of eight semi‐intensive farms (2021–2022) that yielded virulent strains in a challenge assay. Standard bacteriology, histopathology, API‐20 Strep phenotyping, one‐step PCR, and real‐time PCR confirmed S. agalactiae in five farms (62.5%). Gross a...

The future of how we understand and manage ecosystems largely depends on direct and continuous observations that connect local territories to planetary processes. Latin America (LATAM: Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean) hosts ecosystems critical for regulating global carbon, water, and energy cycles. However, persistent underinvestment in science and technology hampers the long‐term monitoring capacity neede...

The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) Thematic Assessment Report on Invasive Alien Species and Their Control presents a “conceptual diagram of management-invasion continuum”, introducing a versatile framework to support decision-making on the management of biological invasions. Drawing on an extensive synthesis of current knowledge, this IPBES invasion-management framework...

Understanding physiological integration in invasive clonal plants is relevant to invasion biology because resource transfer across ramets may allow alien plants to buffer spatial heterogeneity in their introduced areas. However, experimental evidence across native and non-native ranges is limited. Here, we tested whether physiological integration provides greater performance benefits to Carpobrotus taxa in non-native than nati...

Understanding how eco‐evolutionary processes shape genetic variation and persistence in marine species with highly variable recruitment dynamics and dispersal potential remains a fundamental challenge, particularly when considering the interplay between gene flow and local adaptation. Here, we employed a seascape genomics approach to investigate population connectivity and local adaptation in Australasian snapper ( Chrysophrys...

Despite their potential to inform sustainable regional harvest and climate‐resilient fisheries management, spatial stock assessment models remain underused for management advice. To identify barriers that inhibit broader use of these methods, we conducted a blinded international simulation experiment mimicking real‐world stock assessment development when confronting spatial complexity. Seven analyst teams built spatially aggre...

The decline in estrogen following menopause is a major driver of metabolic and immune dysfunction in aging females. While hormone replacement therapy improves many of these outcomes, its clinical use remains limited due to concerns regarding estrogen-sensitive malignancies. Tissue-selective estrogen complexes (TSECs), which combine estrogens with selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) such as tamoxifen (TAM), represent...

The expansion and intensification of aquaculture have been widely adopted to support large-scale production, creating a reliance on high-protein feed ingredients such as soybean meal (SBM) and fish meal (FM). These ingredients, however, are costly and unsustainable, emphasizing the need for alternative plant-based protein sources for aquafeeds. This study assessed the nutritional and feed value of fermented rice bran meal (FRB...

Aquatic foods are a vital source of nutrition, yet growing demand and stagnant wild‐capture fisheries have positioned aquaculture as essential to meeting global food needs. Despite this, aquaculture's diverse forms remain poorly understood, particularly small‐scale aquaculture (SSA). Unlike small‐scale fisheries (SSF), which are widely recognized in policy and research, SSA lacks consistent definitions and is often conflated w...
