Purpose of Review Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a debilitating neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, and anhedonia [1, 2]. Strong biological plausibility supports a disease-specific relationship between metal and metalloid exposures and SCZ, particularly through disruption of metal ion coordination within with the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAr), a key regulator of neurodevelopment and...

Aim Animal movements are a fundamental process affecting communities and ecosystems. Quantifying habitat selection across species and habitats is key for understanding how animals respond to environmental change. Currently, we lack comparative studies that examine how habitat selection varies across species traits and landscapes. We aim to quantify global patterns of habitat selection to help understand the fundamental drivers...

The Comprehensive Partnerships to Advance Cancer Health Equity (CPACHE) initiative of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) supports long-standing collaborations between an under-resourced institution and NCI-designated Cancer Centers to strengthen cancer research workforce and advance cancer research capacity. One of the longest continuously funded CPACHE programs is the Morehouse School of Medicine/Tuskegee University/Universi...

American eel ( Anguilla rostrata ) life history strategies and food web interactions are highly variable in temperate climates but not well understood in sub-tropical hydrologic systems. Intraspecific variability in isotopic niche breadth and overlap can have major implications for species of conservation concern by revealing dietary plasticity of populations across varied habitats. Muscle tissue stable isotope ratios of carbo...

The ocean plays an essential role in regulating Earth’s climate, influencing weather conditions, providing sustenance for large populations, moderating anthropogenic climate change, encompassing massive biodiversity, and sustaining the global economy. Human activities are changing the oceans, stressing ocean health, threatening the critical services the ocean provides to society, with significant consequences for human well-be...

Communities have a strong role in protecting biodiversity. In addition to participation in restoration, a range of actions in the public or private sphere may support biodiversity. Despite this, there is a lack of clarity about what actions should be prioritized for behavior change campaigns. We developed and applied a method to prioritize community actions for biodiversity conservation that incorporates an expert‐based assess...

New Zealand's National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research publishes climate normals for New Zealand that are used for reporting the regional state of the climate, climate extremes and variability. Temperature and precipitation patterns are affected by both anthropogenic climate change and natural climate variability which in turn affect the climatological normal values calculated every decade. This study investigates...

Community mobilisation is essential to prevent further biodiversity loss and protect the natural environment. This includes engaging in public- and private-sphere behaviours, and community support of relevant government policies. This purpose of this paper is to explore and compare the factors associated with public- and private-sphere nature conservation behaviour and policy support. We utilised data from a survey of 4,048 Au...

Tropical rock lobsters (Panulirus ornatus) are a highly cannibalistic species with intermoult animals predominantly attacking animals during ecdysis (moulting). Rapid, positive characterisation of pre-ecdysis lobsters may open a pathway to disrupt cannibalism. Ecdysial suture line development is considered for pre-ecdysis recognition with suture line definition compared for intermoult and pre-ecdysis lobsters emerged and immer...
