Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer: the evolution of a cancer syndrome
Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 2636-2651, December 2025.ABSTRACT Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer (HDGC) is a high risk cancer syndrome caused predominantly by germline mutations in the CDH1 gene. HDGC is characterised by a lifetime risk of advanced diffuse‐type gastric (stomach) cancer of up to 70%, and an additional 40% lifetime risk of lobular breast cancer in women.

Incorporating Climate Change Impacts Within Harvest Strategies: An Overview of Approaches
Fish and Fisheries, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 942-956, September 2025.ABSTRACT Ensuring that harvest strategies are robust to climate change is a top priority for many fisheries jurisdictions globally. This is because climate change is altering ecosystem structure and the productivity of marine species. We outline a range of approaches for incorporating climate change impacts within harvest strategies, including how a ...
