Fish Assemblages Associated with Different Artificial Reef Designs on the Great Barrier Reef

Sustainable Aquatic Research
Artificial reefs have been extensively used to enhance fisheries and restore aquatic habitats. Yet their ecological effectiveness remains highly variable and appears strongly dependent on design and/or configuration.

Exploring Cultural and Individual Differences in the Hierarchy of Moral Concern: Evidence From Student Samples Across 41 Cultural Groups

European Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many important historical and contemporary ethical debates (e.g., on slavery, abortion and environmental protection) reflect disagreements about what we owe to different groups of individuals. Recent work in moral psychology has uncovered a seemingly replicable hierarchy of moral concern, but these studies were conducted in a few countries ...

Classifying seizures in practice: Testing the 2025 ILAE framework among clinicians in South Africa

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The 2025 International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) seizure classification introduced a basic version for nonspecialists, but its usability is untested. We evaluated whether a multidisciplinary frontline workforce in South Africa could apply it, how consistently, and whether performance improved after self‐directed exposure ...
