Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Women Are Eco‐Friendly, so Are They From Venus? Exploring Green‐Feminine Stereotyping and Green Gender Gap

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Marketers and policy makers have tried to bridge the green attitude–behavior gap through the use of pro‐environmental appeals using advertising to convey the “greenness” of their products. However, due to green‐feminine stereotyping, by focusing mainly on the green characteristics of the product, we may have alienated men, who, to safeguard ...

Good Deeds for Self‐Gain? How Self‐Enhancement Motivates Pro‐Environmental Behaviour in Entitled Consumers

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While personality traits often influence individuals' willingness to engage in prosocial and pro‐environmental behaviours, psychological entitlement tends to undermine such actions. Although extensive research has highlighted the negative social consequences of entitlement, including its impact on pro‐environmental behaviours, its potential to

Preparing the New Phase of Argo: Technological Developments on Profiling Floats in the NAOS Project

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
The international array of profiling floats known as Argo is a major component of the global ocean- and climate-observing system. In 2010, the NAOS (Novel Argo Observing System) project was selected as part of France’s Equipex “Investissement d’Avenir ...

The Inconsistent Pairs Between In Situ Observations of Near Surface Salinity and Multiple Remotely Sensed Salinity Data

Earth and Space Science, 2021
This study employs three remotely sensed Sea Surface Salinity products to diagnose the “inconsistent pairs” between the in situ observations of the Near Surface Salinity from delayed‐mode tropical moored buoys and Argo floats and the satellite salinity ...

Dexmedetomidine infusions improve cardiovascular and renal function in anaesthetised, experimentally endotoxaemic horses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dexmedetomidine infusions are beneficial in anaesthetised endotoxaemic horses when administered concurrent to endotoxin, but post‐conditioning effects are unknown. Objectives To evaluate whether a dexmedetomidine infusion is beneficial in horses administered Escherichia coli O55:B5 lipopolysaccharides (LPS) endotoxin prior to ...

Real-time quality control of optical backscattering data from Biogeochemical-Argo floats [version 2; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

Open Research Europe, 2023
Background: Biogeochemical-Argo floats are collecting an unprecedented number of profiles of optical backscattering measurements in the global ocean. Backscattering (BBP) data are crucial to understanding ocean particle dynamics and the biological carbon

Sizing and concentration analysis of cfDNA using Biabooster technology: Results from a prospective plasma‐based collection of 77 patients with locally advanced unresectable esophageal cancer

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? This study introduces a novel approach for detecting locally advanced esophageal carcinoma using cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) analysis through a highly sensitive fragmentome assay. Unlike traditional sequencing‐based methods that are limited by the absence of specific mutations in esophageal tumors, our method offers an alternative by quantifying ...

Argos

Journal of Association of Arab Universities for Tourism and Hospitality
We present the modeling of an AI system named ARGOS to classify free legal aid requests in the Court of Justice of Espírito Santo (TJES). The model replicates the decision-making pattern of a judge from the 6th Civil Court of Vila Velha, developed within Challenge 16 of PitchGovES by Atlas.IA, promoted by the State Management Laboratory of Espírito ...
