Historical and Cultural Legacy of Post‐One Child Policy: Is China Ready to Embrace Planned Oocyte Cryopreservation?

World Medical &Health Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Women's reproductive rights in China are shaped by geopolitical and cultural factors, resulting in restricted access to planned oocyte cryopreservation (planned OC). While the global discourse surrounding planned OC continues to evolve, China currently sanctions egg freezing for medical purposes exclusively in married women, while prohibiting ...

Administrative Burdens and Inequities in COBRA Take‐Up

World Medical &Health Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To what extent does COBRA's lack of program visibility and complexity induce inequities in access to this form of health insurance? Though COBRA has long been an important tool for helping workers to avoid “job lock,” precious little scholarship has been devoted to understanding its reach.

Internal physiological drivers of leaf development in trees: Understanding the relationship between non‐structural carbohydrates and leaf phenology

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant phenology is crucial for understanding plant growth and climate feedback. It affects canopy structure, surface albedo, and carbon and water fluxes. While the influence of environmental factors on phenology is well‐documented, the role of plant intrinsic factors ...

Global drivers of the conservation–invasion paradox

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The conservation–invasion paradox (CIP) refers to a long‐term phenomenon wherein species threatened in their native range can sustain viable populations when introduced to other regions. Understanding the drivers of CIP is helpful for conserving threatened species and managing invasive species, which is unfortunately still lacking. We compiled

Conservation benefits of a large marine protected area network that spans multiple ecosystems

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine protected areas (MPAs) are widely implemented tools for long‐term ocean conservation and resource management. Assessments of MPA performance have largely focused on specific ecosystems individually and have rarely evaluated performance across multiple ecosystems either in an individual MPA or across an MPA network.

A global indicator of species recovery

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Monitoring progress toward meeting global biodiversity goals involves several indicators, including, at the species level, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List Index (RLI) and the Living Planet Index (LPI). However, at present, there is no indicator specifically for tracking species recovery, despite this being ...

Predictions of southern migration timing in coastal sharks under future ocean warming

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Projected redistribution of marine species due to ocean warming may undermine current conservation efforts. Yet, there have been few studies on how ocean warming may alter migration timing. Across 5 years of acoustic telemetry data (2018–2022), we determined environmental drivers of southward migration timing for 6 migratory shark species from

Identifying priority areas for conservation to promote connectivity and mitigate the impacts of anthropogenic disturbance

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract As nations seek to expand protected area (PA) networks to cover 30% of land and seas by 2030 (30×30), there is an urgent need for systematic conservation planning and spatial prioritization that considers the broad range of ecological and socioeconomic factors influencing the persistence of biodiversity.

Heart rate variability in horses with and without severe equine asthma

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 57, Issue 3, Page 611-618, May 2025.
Abstract Background Equine asthma in severe form (severe equine asthma [sEA]) shares remarkable similarities with human asthma. Human studies detected changes in the autonomic nervous system function in asthmatic patients based on heart rate variability (HRV) analysis. Study design Observational study. Objectives To investigate the relationship between

Unpacking the Antecedents of Boredom and Its Impact on University Learners’ Engagement in Languages Other Than English: A Qualitative Study in the Distance Online Learning Context

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although psychological factors such as emotion and engagement have gained increasing attention for their role in language learning success, a substantial gap remains in understanding the sources of boredom and its impact on learners’ engagement, whether behavioural, affective or cognitive, in languages other than English (LOTE).
