Using plant circadian programs to optimize agrochemical use. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Agrochemicals play an important role in maximizing agricultural yields. One class of agrochemicals is herbicides, which are used for weed control and to kill the top growth of certain crops before harvest. We examine the influence of plant circadian regulation on herbicide effectiveness to exemplify how knowledge of the circadian clock could be

Using artificial intelligence as a technological tool in gynecologic and obstetric health: A narrative literature review. [PDF]

Int J Gynaecol Obstet
Abstract Maternal mortality remains a critical global public health issue, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income settings where failures in surveillance, early diagnosis, and clinical decision making compromise obstetric care. In this context, the present study aimed to critically review the scientific literature on the use of artificial intelligence (

Using long‐term data series to design adequate protected areas that ensure the conservation of inconspicuous small petrel species

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 12, Page 2586-2601, December 2023., 2023
Our study highlights the importance of analysing long time series and ESDMs to design adequate protected areas, which ensure the conservation of small and highly mobile species such as storm petrels. Our results should be considered by decision‐makers to prioritise and update marine protected areas, while incorporating the dynamic nature of the ocean ...

Assessing the mechanisms and impacts of shrub invasion in forests: A meta‐analysis

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 11, Page 2314-2326, November 2023., 2023
Taken together, these results suggest that restoration efforts should focus on (i) increasing the presence of strong native competitors or functionally diverse native communities, (ii) decreasing sources of invasive shrub propagules while keeping the canopies closed when invasion occurs via high propagule pressure, (iii) avoiding management techniques ...

Structure and stability of differentially rotating compact stellar objects

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 1-2, January-February 2023., 2023
Abstract Depending on the dynamics of a binary neutron star merger, the collision may result in a differentially rotating compact object. Differentially rotating stars can sustain a total mass considerably higher than that of a uniformly rotating star, giving rise to “hypermassive” objects like hypermassive neutron stars.

Animal tracking moves community ecology: Opportunities and challenges

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 91, Issue 7, Page 1334-1344, July 2022., 2022
Eltonian and Grinnelian dynamics inferred from multi‐species tracking data. Panel (a): Tracks of five individuals from three different species reveal intraspecific and interspecific interactions through time, thereby enabling the construction of interaction topologies including both conspecifics and heterospecifics at an individual level.

Hotspots in the grid: Avian sensitivity and vulnerability to collision risk from energy infrastructure interactions in Europe and North Africa

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 6, Page 1496-1512, June 2022., 2022
We identify the areas of Europe and North Africa that are most sensitive for the specific populations of birds for which sufficient GPS tracking data at high spatial resolution were available. We also map vulnerability hotspots where mitigation at existing EI should be prioritised to reduce collision risks.

Riparian reserves protect butterfly communities in selectively logged tropical forest

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 6, Page 1524-1535, June 2022., 2022
Mandatory conservation set‐asides around streams or rivers (riparian buffers) have an important role in protecting the abundance and composition of primary forest butterfly assemblages within selective logging concessions in tropical rainforests. This study highlights the need to assess the conservation value of protecting unlogged riparian forest ...

Diversity and patterns of marine non‐native species in the archipelagos of Macaronesia

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 667-684, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Aims The present study is the first attempt to grasp the scale and richness of marine biological invasions in Macaronesia. We pioneered a comprehensive non‐native species (NNS), inventory in the region to determine their diversity patterns and native distribution origins.
