Shedding Light on Synthetic Autocatalysis: From Conventional Closed‐Shell Chemistries to Overlooked Open‐Shell Occurrences

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Why add another catalyst when the product itself holds the power to catalyze its own formation? Autocatalysis in synthetic chemistry enhances reaction efficiency and uncovers novel catalytic behavior across both closed‐shell and open‐shell systems, expanding reactivity and enabling innovative design strategies.

Temperate and tropical lineages of brown dog ticks in North America

Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports, 2017
Recent studies document that brown dog ticks, previously considered as Rhipicephalus sanguineus, are actually comprised of multiple taxonomic units now referred to as Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato (Rssl); two lineages of Rssl have been described in the Americas to date - tropical and temperate.

Citizen science project on urban canids provides different results from camera traps but generates interest and revenue

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As urbanization increases, wildlife increasingly encounters people. Coyotes Canis latrans and red foxes Vulpes vulpes are two canid species that have readily adapted to urban environments. Citizen science has emerged as a low‐cost method of collecting data on urban‐adapted species that can benefit management agencies but may provide different results ...

Hunting and fishing harvest data collection: a horizon scanning exercise from the French context

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Legal and societal moves increasingly lead leisure hunting and fishing practitioners to record their harvest. The total number of individuals harvested per population per year is the minimum required information to feed into demographic models and allow science‐based management. Some few schemes record more detailed data, hence allowing better‐informed

Field trials to attract questing stages of brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus using tick pheromone–acaricide complex [PDF]

Journal of Parasitic Diseases, 2012
Evaluations were made to assess the efficacy of assembly pheromone, attractant sex pheromone and the kairomone carbon dioxide in attracting the questing larval nymphal and adult stages of the brown ear dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus. Ticks attracted to one location were killed using the acaricide deltamethrin. Initially, simulated field trials were
