Trace Element Contamination in Top Predatory Elasmobranchs From the Southern Black Sea: Implications for Ecosystem Health and Risk Assessment

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental pollution resulting from the rapid increase in human population, urbanization, intensive use of chemicals in agriculture, and industrial development has reached a level that threatens natural life today. Trace elements are one of the most important factors causing significant levels of pollution in the environment and are added ...

Intelligent Real‐Time Medical Image Transmission for Healthcare‐IoT via Dual‐Stage Probabilistic Restoration and Lightweight Nonlinear Encryption

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Telemedicine and healthcare‐IoT require medical image transmission that preserves diagnostic quality and confidentiality under noise, packet loss and cyber threats. Existing methods often separate restoration from security and lack real‐time efficiency.

ACCOUNTING FOR BIODIVERSITY: Periphery Urbanization, Environmental Conflict, and Spatial Inequality in Monetizing the Value of Nature

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In terms of mainstream sustainability economics, market‐led initiatives aimed at biodiversity restoration represent a productive, morally conscientious choice. Under this view, efforts in areas such as biodiversity offsetting, net gain, or finance are considered effective tools for preventing or managing environmental degradation.

Quantum‐Enhanced Weighted Gene Co‐Expression Network Analysis Reveals Regulatory Networks Underlying Sexual Size Dimorphism in Macrobrachium nipponense

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
A quantum‐enhanced weighted gene co‐expression network analysis framework integrating quantum amplitude amplification is developed to overcome sample size constraints in zoological genomics. This noise‐tolerant analytical strategy enables robust network reconstruction for non‐model species with limited biological replicates.

Strengthening the Paris Agreement Through Collective Decisions: Achievements and Limitations

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Due to its bottom‐up architecture, the Paris Agreement succeeded in securing broad participation but remained vulnerable to challenges concerning both the adequacy of national mitigation commitments and their implementation. This paper assesses the extent to which Parties to the Paris Agreement have succeeded in ensuring the effective ...

Time‐dependent sensitivity of R0$$ {\boldsymbol{R}}_{\mathbf{0}} $$ and other threshold parameters in seasonal ecological and epidemiological dynamics

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Periodically driven systems are ubiquitous in nature, and their stability against perturbations such as the introduction of a novel pathogens or invasive species is often a major concern. To better understand and control these systems, it is common to assess the sensitivity to changes in the model parameters of stability threshold quantities ...

Global climatic suitability and future distribution of Hypsipyla grandella: Implications for Meliaceae under climate change

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Global climatic suitability of Hypsipyla grandella was predicted using MaxEnt modelling. Current and future climate scenarios indicate shifts in suitable areas worldwide. The results support phytosanitary surveillance and pest management planning under climate change. Abstract Hypsipyla grandella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) is one of the main pests

Breathing in Plants and Chaos—Cosmic Tree Events in Cameroon and Beyond

Anthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Contemporary practices of tapping into the wisdom of ancestral trees are described through three entangled recent events lived within the context of Bantu practices in Cameroon. In the three instances, the steered or chance encounters with high potency trees were serendipitous telling moments which brought something new to the horizon.
