Endangered species laws and the inclusion of Indigenous knowledges and sciences in risk assessmentsNARA Subscribed
Indigenous Peoples actively manage or have tenure rights over lands where many rare and valued species occur. To meet national and global conservation targets, it is important to meaningfully consider Indigenous knowledges and rights in endangered species laws. We examined whether the Canadian Species at Risk Act (SARA) has upheld its commitment to consider Indigenous knowledges in decisions pertaining to endangered species as...
Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a rapidly evolving therapeutic modality, combining the selective targeting of monoclonal antibodies with highly potent small molecule payloads. Their inherent structural complexity demands a sophisticated and multi-faceted bioanalytical approach spanning preclinical discovery through late-stage clinical development. This white paper, developed by the ADC Working Group of the AAPS bioan...
Offshore fossil fuel extraction and marine conservation: intensifying regulatory challenges in AustraliaNARA Subscribed
Conflicts between marine conservation and extractive industries are escalating globally. This is particularly evident in Australia, where societal perceptions of sustainability, climate concerns, and socio-ecological ideals clash with government economic priorities and fossil fuel interests. Australia’s offshore petroleum licensing and regulatory processes are examined, focusing on the initial decision to release offshore acre...
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...
The Rockall Trough, northwest of Scotland and Ireland, is a key conduit for the North Atlantic Current (NAC) and European Slope Current (ESC) transporting heat and salt toward the Nordic Seas and Arctic Ocean while mediating exchanges between the open ocean and the European shelf. We present a decade-long record of Rockall Trough circulation from the Ellett Array providing the first continuous estimates of heat and freshwater...
Cancer treatments are improving, and the population of cancer survivors is steadily increasing. However, many survivors experience long-term side effects, including chemobrain and other age-related geriatric disorders like cognitive impairment (CI), severely impacting their quality of life. Emerging studies suggest that the gut microbiome plays a central role in cognitive health. However, the long-term effects of cancer treatm...
The transition from a free‐living lifestyle to endosymbiosis represents a large evolutionary shift, impacting various aspects of any organism's biology, including its molecular‐genetic groundwork. So far, it has been impossible to generalise the impact this lifestyle shift has on genomic architecture. This study explores this phenomenon using a new model system: neodalyellid flatworms (Rhabdocoela), a diverse assemblage of fre...
Environmental and Geographic Conditions on the Breeding Grounds Drive Bergmannian Clines in NightjarsNARA Subscribed
Aim To evaluate (1) whether three migratory nightjar species (Family Caprimulgidae) adhere to Bergmann's rule, (2) whether environmental factors on the breeding or wintering grounds determine body size, and (3) which mechanistic hypotheses best explain Bergmannian patterns in body size. Location North and South America; Europe and Africa. Taxon Eastern whip‐poor‐will ( Antrostomus vociferus ), Common nighthawk ( Chordeiles min...
Diversity and distribution of Lophodermium species on non-native Pinus species in the Southern HemisphereNARA Subscribed
Lophodermium species are amongst the most commonly isolated endophytic fungi on the needles and cones of pines. Of the 38 species reported on these trees, only Lophodermium seditiosum is considered a major pathogen. Species of Pinus have been widely established as non-natives in Southern Hemisphere countries, and several Lophodermium species have been reported on the needles of these trees. However, most of these reports are b...
Demands for territorial recognition are foundational to the claiming of rights by forest‐proximate people who attempt to conserve their forests. The rights of these often‐marginalized populations have been largely overlooked by conservationists, yet they are central to achieving people‐centered conservation. We further developed the concept of forest citizenship as a normative framework and analytical tool based on Brazilian s...
Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R packag...
