Are the ecological and human dimensions of a national park reconcilable? Addressing visitors' preferences for conservation programs

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
The human dimension must be considered in conservation actions. This article presents a discrete choice experiment that analyses the preferences of visitors for the conservation programs being developed in a National Park. The experiment allows identifying certain conflicts between the ecological and social dimensions, and the conclusion is that there ...

Intentional introgression of a blight tolerance transgene to rescue the remnant population of American chestnut

Conservation Science and Practice, 2021
In contrast to many current applications of biotechnology, the intended consequence of the American Chestnut Research & Restoration Project is to produce trees that are well‐adapted to thrive not just in confined fields or orchards, but throughout their ...

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Developing Blight-Tolerant American Chestnut Trees [PDF]

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2019
An invasive fungal pathogen has reduced the American chestnut (Castanea dentata), once a keystone tree species within its natural range in the eastern United States and Canada, to functional extinction. To help restore this important canopy tree, blight-tolerant American chestnut trees have been developed using an oxalate oxidase-encoding gene from ...

Noise‐Induced Hearing Loss: From Pathological Mechanisms to Therapeutic Interventions

Sensory Neuroscience, Volume 2, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Noise‐induced hearing loss (NIHL), a significant non‐genetic form of hearing impairment, is primarily managed through the use of hearing aids and cochlear implants. However, the fundamental pathological mechanisms underlying NIHL remain inadequately addressed.

Novel threats and response to Acadia National Park forests: Simulating the resist–accept–direct management framework

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract How future pathogens will interact with climate change to affect forests is unknown. While specific predictions of complex interactions may be unreliable, exploring a gradient of disturbance severity and management can be informative. We simulated forests in Acadia National Park (ANP) in Maine, USA, under climate change.

Tradeoffs between brain and digestive tissues across elevations in Typhlomys daloushanensis: evidence for sexual dimorphism

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 3, May 2026.
To cope with highly stochastic and/or heterogeneous environmental conditions, animals must balance energy resource allocation across physiological processes. The digestive tract and brain exhibit structural variations under strong developmental and selective pressures that vary across environmental gradients both between and within species.

Distribution and population structure of the chestnut blight fungus in Romania

Plant Protection Science, 2015
The occurrence of chestnut blight (Cryphonectria parasitica) was studied in 2011-2012 at 13 locations in the main chestnut growing areas of Romania. Infections were detected at four localities.
