Vulnerability of marine megafauna to global at‐sea anthropogenic threats

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened ...

Distribution, scale, and drivers of mass mortality events in Europe's freshwater bivalves

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Mass mortality events (MMEs) are decimating populations and compromising key ecosystem functions around the globe. One taxon particularly vulnerable to MMEs is freshwater bivalve mollusks. This group has important ecosystem engineering capacities and includes highly threatened and highly invasive taxa.

Influenza A Virus (H1N1) Infection Induces Ferroptosis to Promote Developmental Injury in Fetal Tissues

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
H1N1 infection during pregnancy specifically targets the fetal liver and lungs, triggering immune responses, tissue fibrosis and ferroptosis in parenchymal cells, ultimately leading to adverse pregnancy outcomes, offering insights into managing maternal H1N1 infections and their impact on fetal health.

A commentary on Zuniga‐Montanez and Davies et al.: how did COVID‐19 affect young children's language environment and language development? A scoping review

open access: yesJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, Volume 66, Issue 4, Page 602-605, April 2025.
It was early 2020, a week or two into Hilary Term, what everyone else calls Spring Term, but we at Oxford love our arcane traditions. I recall one of my graduate students, from China, coming to me ashen‐faced at the end one of my lectures on the effects of bilingualism on the linguistic and cognitive development of young learners.

Research Direction and Science Evaluation: The Role of Coherence and Alignment

open access: yesJournal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The decisions of funding agencies greatly influence the direction of scientific research; however, our understanding of how applicants' research directions affect the selection process remains limited. In this study, we investigate how a project's coherence with a scientist's previous work and its alignment with current scientific trends ...

Welfare consequences of the compound risks of index insurance

open access: yesJournal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract Index insurance is an attractive variant on the standard insurance contract that allows the determination of a loss event to be defined by one or more thresholds on an index that is positively correlated with actual losses. Index insurance also comes with a compound risk, basis risk.

Evidence of High Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N1 Clade 2.3.4.4b Among Poultry in Ghana From 2021 to 2022. [PDF]

open access: yesVet Med Sci
Ghana experienced outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza A H5N1 among poultry from 2021 to 2022. Analysing poultry, pigs, and environmental samples showed H5N1 prevalence of 2.36% (63/2640) among poultry only. The clade 2.3.4.4b virus showed mammalian adaptive motifs in haemagglutinin, emphasising the need for ongoing genomic surveillance among

Full‐length coding sequence analysis of the voltage‐gated sodium channel and acetylcholinesterase genes reveals target‐site mutations and acetylcholinesterase gene duplication in housefly (Musca domestica) populations in Japanese livestock barns

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
We simultaneously analysed insecticide resistance mutations in VGSC and AChE using NGS and hybridization probe capture in houseflies collected from livestock facilities for the first time. Resistance mutations in both VGSC and AChE were detected in most wild populations, suggesting widespread distribution of resistance genes.
