Devouring the Invaders: The Racial‐Ecological Politics of the Chinese Crayfish Trade in Kenya
ABSTRACT This article examines entanglements of ecology, race, and foodways at Lake Naivasha in Kenya. Nonnative Louisiana red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), first introduced to Kenya in the 1960s, were once viewed as invasive but are now sought after as a delicacy among Kenya's Chinese community.

High nitrogen enrichment buffers plant photosynthesis against herbivory damage
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivorous insects and nitrogen deposition are key drivers of ecosystem productivity under global change. However, their combined effects on plant photosynthesis, particularly during insect outbreaks, remain poorly understood in natural ecosystems.

We profiled nutritional and physiological markers in captive sifakas, endangered primates from Madagascar, managed in expansive, non‐native forest enclosures. Variation in many markers reflects freely foraged diets and the energy required to maintain homeostasis under more naturalistic conditions.

为合理地防护雷电对人体带来的伤害,需要研究雷电对人体的伤害机理。介绍了雷电对人体的危害方式和雷电危害能量阈值。通过建立人体电路模型,利用ATP软件模拟雷电和与人体模型间相互作用,具体分析不同土壤电阻率情况下,跨步电压、接触电压和转移电位作用下流经心脏的电流,计算导致心室纤维性颤动的比能量。仿真结果表明:土壤电阻率的增大有助于降低跨步电压和转移电位对人体的伤害;接触电压更容易给人体带来致命性危害。雷电作用下人体伤害机理需要作进一步研究。

草原毛虫(Gynaephora ruoergensis Chou et yin)病毒的发现和鉴定
草原毛虫属鳞翅目(Lepidoptera)毒蛾科(Lymantriidae)的一种主要牧草害虫;该虫与草原鼠害并称为我国草原的两大灾害。草原毛虫分布广,仅川西北草原受害的草场面积已达1600万亩以上;为害时间长,通常每年四月越冬幼虫开始出现活动为害,至九月化蛹,为害期长达半年之久,整个放牧期间持续为害。草原毛虫危害的草类,正是牲畜的主要牧草。该虫多集中于草料丰茂地带,虫口密度多达170——530头/米2。川西北草原每年因该虫的危害损失天然牧草,相当于100万只羊单位的全年饲料,价值数千万元。

ABSTRACT Research examining the complexities and operational structures of civil–military coordination within large‐scale disaster response frameworks in Canada remains scant. This study addresses this gap by critically evaluating existing civil–military coordination mechanisms, identifying systemic deficiencies, and proposing evidence‐based strategic ...
