Optimizing equity and efficiency in the aerial firefighting resource allocation problem

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This study addresses the aerial firefighting resource allocation problem, formulated as the strategic prepositioning of a heterogeneous aerial firefighting fleet across capacity‐constrained airbases. A novel bi‐objective model is proposed that simultaneously optimizes efficiency (aggregate risk‐weighted accessibility) and equity (minimized ...

Under the Surface: Subsea Infrastructure and Everyday Geoeconomics in the European Union

JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract The European Union (EU) is undergoing a geoeconomic shift driven by concerns over its global position, geopolitical tensions and the need for strategic autonomy. Scholars have studied various parts of this ‘geoeconomic turn’ aiming to secure Europe's position in the world.

Pathophysiology and emerging treatments for dermographic, cholinergic and cold urticaria

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
This review illustrates key proposed mast cell‐mediated activation pathways in dermographic, cholinergic and cold urticaria, highlighting IgE‐dependent and ‐independent mechanisms. These pathways are increasingly targeted by emerging drugs, aiming to interrupt mast cell activation and mediator release, offering more precise, mechanism‐based treatment ...

Giants in the cold: Morphological evidence for vascular heat retention in the viscera but not the skeletal muscle of the basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fewer than 50 of the over 30,000 extant species of fishes have developed anatomical specializations facilitating endothermy in specific body regions. The plankton‐feeding basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus), traditionally classified as an ectotherm, was recently shown to have regionally endothermic traits such as centralized red muscle (RM ...

Quantitative insights into the spatio‐temporal variation of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) biomass in a river catchment using eDNA metabarcoding

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Effective species conservation and management requires comprehensive biomonitoring, enhanced by combining traditional and newer methodologies, such as environmental DNA (eDNA) analyses. A seasonal pulse of spawning adult Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) was detected by normalised eDNA 12S reads from metabarcoding, which facilitated estimation of ...

Arctic lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) show evidence of seasonal acclimation of cardiac adrenergic sensitivity but not heat tolerance

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many Arctic fishes experience prolonged periods of extreme cold and large thermal variation over both rapid and seasonal time scales which challenge critical physiological functions. In the central Canadian Arctic, we caught wild adult lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) acclimatized to winter and summer temperatures to determine the extent to ...

Resource use by threatened, native Bull Trout (Salvelinus confluentus) in the presence of two non‐native salmonids

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction of non‐native species contributes to the global decline of freshwater fishes by disrupting the diet and resources of native species through competition. Despite the potential for non‐native trout (Family: Salmonidae) to compete with native trout, non‐native trout species have been widely introduced worldwide to support ...

Nutritional Composition, Chemical Safety, and Microbiological Quality of Farmed Palm Weevil Larvae (<i>Rhynchophorus phoenicis</i>) From a Commercial Rearing Unit in Ghana. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
Frying and roasting significantly reduced moisture content and increased protein content of Rhynchophorus phoenicis larvae. Fat content was highest in fried samples, resulting in elevated energy values. Calcium and iron contents increased significantly following frying and roasting.

Water temperature and river discharge drive age‐dependent changes in brown trout (Salmo trutta) growth

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rivers and streams exhibit inherent variability in environmental conditions, particularly in water temperature and stream discharge. These factors can impact fish growth through both direct (i.e., physiological) and indirect (i.e., ecosystem productivity) mechanisms.

Tracking hatchery and wild Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) smolt during river exit and early marine migration to assess survival, predation risk and migration speed

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Significant declines in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) populations across their range have prompted an increased use of hatchery supplementation programmes to support population recovery. However, concerns persist regarding the effectiveness of these programmes due to limited understanding of how hatchery‐reared salmon perform post‐release in ...
