Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Transformative change is required to address persistent and systemic drivers of biodiversity loss. There is an urgent need for innovative solutions that tackle root causes in place‐specific contexts. Evidence indicates that small, innovative, purpose‐driven businesses can serve as vehicles for developing place‐based solutions.

Repurposing Drugs for Malaria through a Human Dose Prediction: A Case Study with Berzosertib
Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.Repurposing drugs whose clinical safety has been established offers a valuable approach to reduce the cost and time associated with the development of new drugs for malaria. Here, we investigate the potential to repurpose the anticancer kinase inhibitor berzosertib for the treatment of malaria, by assessing whether a predicted efficacious human dose ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 The maintenance of sexuality is a puzzling phenomenon in evolutionary biology. Many universal hypotheses have been proposed to explain the prevalence of sex despite its costs, but it has been hypothesized that sex could be also retained by lineage ...

International Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Despite its prevalence, research on binge‐eating disorder (BED) outcomes for residential treatment remains limited. To address this research scarcity, we evaluated changes in ED behaviors and comorbid symptoms, including depression and anxiety, for patients with BED that received residential eating disorder (ED) care from a ...

Asexual reproduction reduces transposable element load in experimental yeast populations
eLife, 2019 Theory predicts that sexual reproduction can either facilitate or restrain transposable element (TE) accumulation by providing TEs with a means of spreading to all individuals in a population, versus facilitating TE load reduction via purifying selection.

Lineage Selection and the Maintenance of Sex. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Sex predominates in eukaryotes, despite its short-term disadvantage when compared to asexuality. Myriad models have suggested that short-term advantages of sex may be sufficient to counterbalance its twofold costs.

Parthenogenesis and the Evolution of Anisogamy
Cells, 2021 Recently, it was pointed out that classic models for the evolution of anisogamy do not take into account the possibility of parthenogenetic reproduction, even though sex is facultative in many relevant taxa (e.g., algae) that harbour both anisogamous and

International Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Expected body weight (EBW) determination is common in eating disorder (ED) treatment, yet no evidence‐based guidelines exist for how to discuss EBWs with patients. Clinicians have previously conceptualized these discussions as therapeutic exposures targeting fear of weight gain.
