Abstract Despite the crucial role of human impacts on biodiversity loss, many assessments of this loss focus on single metrics, such as species richness, and overlook the multidimensional effects of human activities. Because of its importance to ecosystem functioning, we investigated the functional diversity of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal ...

Abstract Human development is a driver of global change and a major threat to biodiversity. Protected areas maintain and support biodiversity, but outside stressors, such as climate change and land use change, can negatively influence natural resources within protected areas.

Perceived costs as drivers of wildlife management preferences in rural Tanzanian communities
Abstract Effectively managing human–wildlife interactions is crucial for fostering coexistence on shared landscapes. Management options are most effective when aligned with the preferences of people directly affected by wildlife, yet little is known about how socioecological factors influence these preferences.

Drivers of bat researchers’ intent to adopt field hygiene practices
Abstract Infectious disease is a growing threat to wildlife, with zoonotic transmission most likely at the human–wildlife interface. One underappreciated activity at this interface is fieldwork with wild animals, but associated risks can be mitigated through field hygiene (FH) practices, such as using personal protective equipment and other appropriate

Structured machine learning modeling to support conservation of deep‐sea benthic biodiversity
Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs need to deliver accurate, timely, and actionable predictions. To establish a predictive monitoring program for deep‐sea benthos of the Santos Basin, Brazil, we developed a two‐stage structured model that allowed comparison of biodiversity predictions obtained from environmental simulations (2M‐Sim).

Evaluating synthetic substitutes to reduce illegal harvesting and support species recovery
Abstract Providing synthetic substitutes is a widely promoted strategy to shift consumer demand away from wildlife products derived from threatened species. Yet, there is little evidence on whether product substitution prevents illegal or unsustainable harvesting and contributes to the recovery of threatened populations.

ABSTRACT As the public sector increasingly adopts AI‐powered automated decision systems (ADS), understanding how citizens experience and value ADS use in public decision‐making is both normatively and practically important. Therefore, we examine and compare the effects of seven attributes of public values on citizens' support for ADS adoption in two ...

ABSTRACT Forums play an important role in addressing interdependent policy issues, and their effectiveness depends on the continuous adaptation of forum rules. Yet, it remains unclear whether rules are exclusively used and adapted to improve forum effectiveness.

近年来研究发现,由氧化应激等刺激因素导致的铁代谢紊乱与脂质过氧化诱导的铁死亡在主动脉夹层的发生和发展中发挥重要作用。其中,铁代谢紊乱主要体现为铁含量与血红素代谢异常导致的羟基自由基过量生成,而脂质过氧化则与Xc-系统异常及磷脂氢过氧化物过量积累相关。这些因素协同导致主动脉稳态被破坏,驱动主动脉夹层中内皮细胞和血管平滑肌细胞等管壁组成细胞铁死亡。主动脉夹层中存在多个铁死亡相关基因紊乱,且吸烟等流行病学因素、蛋白质甲基化等表观遗传修饰及T淋巴细胞等免疫细胞功能异常亦与主动脉夹层铁死亡密切相关。此外 ...

Spatially Downscaling of Future Food Demand for Policy Planning
ABSTRACT Understanding the subnational dynamics of food demand, while accounting for the evolution of the agrifood system at the global level, remains a challenge for designing food policy to ensure food security. To link global agrifood systems with subnational food policy planning, we downscale per capita food demand for 62 food commodities at the ...
