Comparative Genomics and Functional Evidence for Convergent Adaptation to Hypoxia in Mammals

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study reveals convergent selection in mammals adapted to hypoxia. Functional assays demonstrate that amino acid mutations reduce oxidative stress, attenuate hypoxia‐induced injury, and modulate the hypoxia‐inducible transcription factor (HIF)‐driven hypoxic response.

A Global Reassessment of Solitary-Sociable Dolphins

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019
Dolphins are typically regarded as highly social animals. However, some individuals live apart from their own species and may come to socialize with people through a recognized series of stages which are presented and expanded on in this paper. The term “

Between Sustainable Development, Financialisation and Sovereign Debt Crisis: The Case of Blue Finance as Yet Another Iteration of the Washington Consensus

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As far as international economic law (IEL) is concerned, the ‘Washington Consensus’ generally refers to the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF)'s development finance policies and tools. It covers their application to their clients and borrowers with the support of Western governments. This acceptation is of particular interest

Maximizing eDNA detections of rare marine organisms: A case study of a delphinid species

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an emerging tool for surveying marine organisms. Advances in molecular assay designs and bioinformatic methods provide new opportunities for detecting rare species; however, overcoming methodological challenges of rare species detection remains an important obstacle for the widespread deployment of eDNA methods for ...

As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible Regularization for Implicit Surfaces

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Implicit surface representations have regained popularity because of their use in machine learning. A common component in optimization is regularization, penalizing the deviation of the surface from its original shape. The popular as‐rigid‐as‐possible (Arap) energy strikes a good compromise between realistic deformation behavior and efficient ...

Comparative review of entanglement risk assessments for cetacean conservation and management

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cetacean entanglement in fishing gear remains a major global threat that exposes persistent gaps in how fisheries management frameworks manage risk to nontarget species. Ecological risk assessment (ERA) offers a structured way to link exposure and consequences to an explicit statement of risk, but entanglement risk assessments vary widely in ...
