Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Squalus cf. mitsukurii (Chondrichthyes: Squalidae) Revealed by ddRAD Sequencing. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Assessing genetic structure across ocean basins is essential to understand connectivity and guide conservation in data‐deficient open‐water sharks. In this study, we examined the population genomics of Squalus cf. mitsukurii by analyzing tissue samples collected from two distant regions: California, USA (Pacific Ocean) and Pernambuco, Brazil ...

Effect of Rapid Maxillary Expansion on the Pterygoid Process and Spheno-Occipital Synchondrosis in Skulls With Class II and Class III Skeletal Relationships: A Finite Element Analysis Study. [PDF]
Objetive To evaluate the effect of the rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on the pterygoid process (PP), spheno‐occipital synchondrosis (SOS), and sella turcica (ST) in two patients’ skulls with Class II and Class III skeletal relationships and to identify differences in mechanical loading through finite element analysis (FEA).

Abstract Reduction in population size, with its predicted effects on population fitness, is the most alarming anthropogenic impact on endangered species. By introducing compatible individuals, genetic rescue (GR) is a promising but debated approach for reducing the genetic load unmasked by inbreeding and for restoring the fitness of declining ...

Abstract The harvest of wild plants with medicinal uses is increasing globally, both for self‐treatment and as a source of income. The increasing demand for these remedies could lead to the over‐harvest of some species. Despite a recent surge in the number of studies analysing wild medicinal plants management, little is known about the effects of non ...

Abstract This study investigates how environmental flows (e‐flows) can be designed as dynamic operating policies to optimize long‐term economic and ecosystem performance in reservoir systems. The main goal is to provide e‐flow solutions that contribute to better preparedness and flexibility of hydro‐systems to face multiyear stress periods, reducing ...

We combined trait‐based and correlative approaches to assign risks to species, taxonomic orders, and functional groups of terrestrial mammals in Mexico, under climate change (CC) and land‐use/cover change (LUCC) scenarios. Risk scores were obtained as a function of vulnerability, exposure, and hazard, using the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate

Abstract Many voluntary incentive programs for provision of forest ecosystem services (ES) have low participation rates, insufficient enrollment areas, and inefficient ecological outcomes. Understanding participation behavior in such programs has therefore become a crucial part of policy success.

Who gets what, where, and how much? Composite index of spatial inequality for small areas in Tehran
Abstract Urban spatial inequality is multidimensional and complex. The extant literature identifies three main theoretically‐informed dimensions of spatial inequality—accessibility, environmental conditions, and socio‐economic conditions. We combine geospatial data on measures across these three theoretical dimensions to derive a composite index for ...
