Public attitudes and intentions toward engaging in reintroduction of wolves to Japan
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Reintroducing apex predators is an important approach in ecosystem restoration; however, it is challenging. Wolves (Canis lupus) were exterminated in Japan around 1900, and since then, there has been a lack of top predators throughout the country.

Conserving the evolutionary history of birds
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023 Abstract In the midst of the sixth mass extinction, limited resources are forcing conservationists to prioritize which species and places will receive conservation action. Evolutionary distinctiveness measures the isolation of a species on its phylogenetic tree.

Acute phase protein concentrations following serial procaine penicillin G injections in horses
Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 916-922, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Background Acute phase protein (APP) measurement is used to detect inflammation. Intramuscular (IM) injections could cause tissue injury and induce an acute phase response (APR). Objectives To evaluate the effects of IM procaine penicillin G (PPG) injections on APP concentrations in horses.

Journal of Diabetes, Volume 15, Issue 7, Page 545-556, July 2023., 2023 Highlights High stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) was associated with elevated systematic inflammation in diabetic inpatients with pneumonia on admission. In the absence of hypoglycemia on admission, SHR was of J‐shaped associations with adverse clinical outcomes in diabetic inpatients with pneumonia of different severity.

Journal of Diabetes, Volume 15, Issue 6, Page 465-473, June 2023., 2023 Highlights Evidence for contribution of basal and postprandial glucose increments and glycemic variability to glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) among adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is limited. In this study, after analyzing a total of 169 550 sensor‐derived data in 2409 meals recorded from 102 T1D adults, we found that basal hyperglycemia (BHG) was four ...

Journal of Traumatic Stress, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 272-284, April 2023., 2023 Abstract For parents of color, publicized racial violence can heighten concerns about their children's safety. The goal of this study was to test whether this form of race‐related stress exacerbates maternal posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms over a 4‐month period in families of color. Participants included 262 U.S.

Dizhen xuebao, 2022 基于广义帕累托分布构建地震活动性模型，因其输入参数取值难以避免不确定性，导致依据该模型所得的地震危险性估计结果具有不确定性。鉴于此，本文选取青藏高原东北缘为研究区，提出了基于全域敏感性分析的地震危险性估计的不确定性分析流程和方法。首先，利用地震活动性广义帕累托模型，进行研究区地震危险性估计；然后，选取地震记录的起始时间和震级阈值作为地震活动性模型的输入参数，采用具有全域敏感性分析功能的E-FAST方法，对上述两个参数的不确定性以及两参数之间的相互作用对地震危险性估计不确定性的影响进行定量分析。结果表明 ...

Biodiversity‐driven spatial conservation planning to delineate temporally stable regions
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The accelerating loss of biodiversity underscores the critical need for effective conservation strategies, particularly in the face of climate change and anthropogenic pressures. We devised a conservation planning framework that adopts a temporal stacking approach to species distribution models and landscape connectivity analyses. These models
