The Cost of Antivenom: A Cost Minimization Study using the North American Snakebite RegistryNARA Subscribed
Envenomation is a global health issue, with over 9,000 encounters managed in the United States yearly. The introduction of immunoglobulin fragment antivenom has reduced the risk of hypersensitivity. This study compares treatment costs of crotaline envenomation using the Fab and F(ab’) 2 antivenoms as reported to the North American Snakebite Registry (NASBR), a nationwide surveillance tool. Methods This was a retrospective anal...

Quality-by-Design: Are We There Yet?NARA Subscribed
Astract Ecological theory predicts that communities using the same resources should have similar structure, but evolutionary constraints on colonisation and niche shifts may hamper such convergence. Multitrophic communities of wasps exploiting fig fruits, which first evolved about 75 MYA , do not show long‐term ‘inheritance’ of taxonomic (lineage) composition or species diversity. However, communities on three continents have...
Private‐sector financial and legal transactions have long been used to protect terrestrial habitats and working landscapes, but less commonly to address critical threats in marine environments. Transferrable and marketable fishing privileges, including permits and quotas, make it possible to use private‐sector transactions as conservation strategies to address some fishery management issues. Abating the effects of bottom trawl...
New species of Spongia (Porifera: Demospongiae: Dictyoceratida) from New Zealand, and a proposed subgeneric structureNARA Subscribed
This paper is the fifth in a series revising the taxonomy of New Zealand dictyoceratid sponges (phylum Porifera, subclass Ceractinomorpha, order Dictyoceratida). Six new species of the genus Spongia are added to New Zealand's known fauna. The use of subgenera within the genus Spongia is discussed, and two new subgenera are proposed. The genus Hippospongia is revised, and an emended generic diagnosis is proposed.
New species of dictyoceratid sponges from New Zealand: Genus Ircinia (Porifera: Demospongiae: Dictyoceratida)NARA Subscribed
This paper is the third in a series revising the taxonomy of New Zealand dictyoceratid sponges (phylum Porifera, class Ceractinomorpha, order Dictyoceratida). Only one species of Ircinia has previously been described from New Zealand, Ircinia novaezealandiae Bergquist, 1961. Six new species of Ircinia are added to New Zealand's known fauna. The genus Ircinia contains in excess of 40 published species worldwide, although the in...
Revision of the genus Psammocinia (Porifera: Demospongiae: Dictyoceratida), with six new species from New ZealandNARA Subscribed
The status of species within the dictyo‐ceratid sponge genus Psammocinia is reviewed. The separation of Psammocinia species from the closely related Ircinia species, which has been the subject of some dispute, is clarified. This distinction made on the basis of morphological evidence is supported by the limited chemotaxonomic and molecular phylogenetic data available. Six new species of Psammocinia are described from the New Z...
