In this work, the environmental occurrence ranges of different European cephalopod species are described for the whole NE Atlantic shelf including the greater North Sea and Baltic Sea. This is done based on the environmental parameters collected in-situ during surveys that caught commercially important cephalopod species (1990–2022). Results are supplemented and compared with information available in the published literature a...

While genetic testing (GT) has become more available over the past decade, it is unclear whether public awareness and use have increased proportionally. We aimed to evaluate national trends in GT awareness and usage. We performed a cross-sectional analysis of nationally representative data from the National Cancer Institute’s Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS). We analyzed survey responses from HINTS 4 Cycle 1–4...

The first quantitative mineral resource assessment for undiscovered lithium pegmatite deposits in the southern Appalachian region of the United States was conducted. Permissive tracts for lithium pegmatite deposits were delineated by integrating lithological, tectonic, geochemical, geophysical and mineral occurrence data. Lithium pegmatite prospectivity of the tracts was ranked with simplified mappable criteria, including prox...

Horizon scans identify potential changes, enabling proactive rather than reactive conservation strategies. Here, in a follow up to the 2020 horizon scan, 14 biodiversity professionals from different sectors identify ten emerging issues potentially relevant to biodiversity conservation in South Africa over the next 5–10 years. The issues identified highlight three critical needs: adaptive governance systems, cross-sectoral coll...
