Coastal zones are subjected to many anthropogenic stresses that operate on multiple spatial scales. Understanding how these stressors interact with the movement and resource ecology of mobile species is critical for effective conservation and management. Biscayne National Park (BNP) is adjacent to Miami (U.S.) and supports an economically important recreational fishery for bonefish ( Albula vulpes ). Within BNP, the western re...

Rationale Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) has been reported to evoke psychedelic-like experiences at high doses in some individuals. However, the doses of Δ9-THC that occasion such effects and the phenomenology of these experiences are poorly understood. Objectives This brief report presents preliminary findings from a pilot human laboratory study that directly compared the acute effects of Δ9-THC and psilocybin under se...

Purpose Sweat sodium testing is increasingly used to estimate electrolyte losses during exercise; however, the reliability of sweat sodium assessment and the influence of methodological factors remain unclear. We evaluated the day-to-day variability and agreement between common sweat induction, collection, and analytical approaches, including pilocarpine iontophoresis and exercise-induced sweating. Methods Twenty physically ac...

In the United States, colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality rates are higher in African Americans compared to non-Hispanic whites, partly due to advanced stage cancer diagnosis. Timely CRC screening helps to increase CRC early detection and survival in this population. The objective of this monitoring study was to survey African American patients of Community Health Centers (CHC) in north Florida and to monitor CRC screening adher...

Climate‐driven alterations in sea‐ice dynamics and shifting fishing activity are reshaping ecosystems across the Arctic and Antarctic, yet conservation‐relevant information for chondrichthyans (sharks, rays, and chimaeras) remains limited. We present the first assessment of Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRAs) across Polar Waters, integrating species distributions, extinction risk, critical habitat evidence, spatial protectio...

The design of experiments to investigate the combined effects of multiple stressors requires exposing target organisms to multiple combinations of stressor doses. Concurrent manipulation of stressors is often infeasible with wildlife, but long‐lasting health effects allow individual health to be used as an integrator of prior stressor exposure. The population of bottlenose dolphins in Barataria Bay, Louisiana, experienced long...
