A practical, adaptive compliance management framework for improving marine protected area effectiveness

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Noncompliance regularly undermines the effectiveness of marine protected areas (MPAs) worldwide. The reasons for and drivers of noncompliance depend on the context (e.g., insufficient funding, capacity, neocolonialism, historical conflict), but the prevalent solution offered to curtail noncompliance tends to be more or better enforcement.

To Avoid or Not to Avoid: Cross‐Reactivity Between Fragrance and Common Botanicals

Contact Dermatitis, EarlyView.
Among 356 fragrance‐allergic patients patch tested from 2020–2024, no clinically meaningful cross‐reactivity (> 10%) was observed between fragrance allergens and common non‐essential oil botanicals. These findings suggest fragrance‐allergic patients do not need to avoid botanicals such as aloe, coconut oil, or shea butter in fragrance‐free products ...
