Spatial segregation and bycatch risk as potential drivers of population trends of wandering albatrosses at South Georgia. [PDF]
Abstract Spatial segregation in at‐sea distribution is frequently observed in seabirds and can have important implications for conservation and management. Globally, many albatross and petrel populations are declining due to bycatch in fisheries. In South Georgia, the decrease in wandering albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) differs among breeding sites ...

Abstract Family caregivers of people with severe mental illness (SMI) have been increasingly observed to experience social isolation and/or loneliness (SI/L) which are risk factors for ill health. This scoping review aimed to map existing evidence and identify knowledge gaps in studies on SI/L in this population using the Arksey and O'Malley's ...

Compliance with World Health Organization's COVID‐19 guidelines among Iraqi health workers
Abstract During the COVID‐19 pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) introduced guidelines with respect to hygiene practices, quarantine policies, and medical practices for health institutions to follow. Most studies examining compliance with WHO guidelines have been conducted at individual level but not at institutional level.

Use of carrion fly iDNA metabarcoding to monitor invasive and native mammals
Abstract Severely fragmented habitats increase the risk of extirpation of native mammal populations through isolation, increased edge effects, and predation. Therefore, monitoring the movement of mammal populations through anthropogenically altered landscapes can inform conservation. We used metabarcoding of invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) from carrion

Effects of forest fragmentation on avian breeding activity
Abstract Biodiversity declines and ecosystem decay follow forest fragmentation; initially, abundant species may become rare or be extirpated. Underlying mechanisms behind delayed extirpation of certain species following forest fragmentation are unknown.

Subterranean ecosystems host unique biodiversity that is globally threatened by multiple anthropogenic stressors. Ayyalon cave was discovered in 2006 as a result of quarrying activities. It is one of the few known fully sustained subterranean autotrophic sulfur‐based food webs, supporting a diverse, specialized endemic fauna.

ABSTRACT Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) promise ultrahigh energy density, yet their advancement is impeded by dendritic lithium growth and unstable interfacial behavior. Herein, for the first time, we present novel lithiophilic CoNiB quantum dots embedded in nitrogen‐doped hollow carbon nanorods (CoNiB@NC) as a multifunctional interlayer on a ...

Abstract Henry George advocated for capturing land value increases for public ends. The active approach of public authorities organizing and financing land development can help capture higher land value increases, as Hartman and Spit indicate. However, this approach hardly happens in developing countries, where the coalition of private developers and ...

Swamp rabbit (Sulvilagus aquaticus) in southeast Missouri is increasing and expanding, with occupancy probabilities of 0.66 in 2010–2012 and 0.79 in 2021–2022. ABSTRACT Swamp rabbits (Sylvilagus aquaticus) are a bottomland hardwood specialist that have experienced range contraction at the northern and western extents of their range.

Finding floral and faunal species richness optima among active fire regimes
Abstract Changing fire regimes have important implications for biodiversity and challenge traditional conservation approaches that rely on historical conditions as proxies for ecological integrity. This historical‐centric approach becomes increasingly tenuous under climate change, necessitating direct tests of environmental impacts on biodiversity.
