Functional homogenization of terrestrial mammals outside protected areas in the Hengduan Mountains, China

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite the crucial role of human impacts on biodiversity loss, many assessments of this loss focus on single metrics, such as species richness, and overlook the multidimensional effects of human activities. Because of its importance to ecosystem functioning, we investigated the functional diversity of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal ...

Beyond the Rebel ‘Territorial Trap’: Governing Armed Sovereign Formations in Eastern Myanmar

Development and Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Territorial control is a central concept in the study of civil wars and rebel governance. However, scholars often fall into a ‘territorial trap’, assuming that territorial control is either an outcome of or a precondition for armed governance. Based on immersive fieldwork in eastern Myanmar, this article traces how different spatial orderings ...

Association of Maxillofacial Fractures With Demographic and Dental Factors: The Roles of Edentulism, Posterior Occlusion, Canines, and Lower Third Molar

Dental Traumatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Aim This retrospective, two‐center study aims to improve understanding of fracture pathogenesis in maxillofacial trauma by examining variations related to sex, age, dental status, posterior occlusion, and the presence of lower third molars (LTM) and lower canines.

The SPoRC Stock Assessment Package: A Generalized Next‐Generation Platform to Assess Spatial, Age and Sex‐Structured Populations

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fisheries managers increasingly rely on stock assessment models to provide sustainable management advice, which must balance complex and competing objectives. Although assessment models necessitate simplifying assumptions, there is increasing recognition to improve the integration of realistic biological and fishery dynamics. While ongoing and

Fleet Behaviour Under Economic Uncertainty: Multi‐Species Policy Scenarios for the Purse‐Seine Fishery

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Managing fishing effort remains a central challenge in achieving sustainability in many fisheries, particularly where high‐value species attract intense competition. In the Indian Ocean tropical tuna fishery, understanding how fishers respond to changing bio‐economic conditions is essential for developing effective management.

A Non‐Parametric Framework for Correlation Functions on Product Metric Spaces

International Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary We propose a non‐parametric framework for analysing data defined over products of metric spaces, a versatile class encountered in various fields. This framework accommodates non‐stationarity and seasonality and is applicable to both local and global domains, such as the Earth's surface, as well as domains evolving over linear time or time ...

Genetic Parameter Estimation for Plasma Biomarkers Associated With Energy Reserves During Critical Physiological Stages in Sheep

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ability of ruminants to mobilise and restore body reserves (BR) over time, referred to as BR dynamics, is currently considered an interesting biological component to be included in breeding programs targeting enhanced BR resilience. However, genetic studies of proxies for BR levels and BRD remain scarce, particularly in small ruminants ...

Changes in size‐at‐age of juvenile Atlantic salmon cohorts over the past 50 years and linkages to environmental factors

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Quantifying the potential effects of climate change on juvenile salmonid body length at a large spatiotemporal scale is challenging given the multitude of biological processes and methodological constraints. In the present work, we analysed potential changes in size‐at‐age of juvenile Atlantic salmon cohorts over the past 50 years in the ...
