Importance of socio-economic and institutional factors in the collection of dry forest products: The case of gum and resin in Jawi District, Northwest Ethiopia

Trees, Forests and People, 2023
Although the important role of dry forests in livelihoods is immense, empirical evidence on the role of socioeconomic factors in the collection of dry forest products is still lacking.

Tree canopy density thresholds for improved forests cover estimation in protected areas of Madagascar

Environmental Research Communications, 2023
The rich endemic biodiversity of Madagascar is concentrated in different types of natural forests primarily conserved within the network of protected areas (PAs). Since 1990, remote sensing has been utilized to monitor forest cover.

Can we set a global threshold age to define mature forests? [PDF]

, 2015
Globally, mature forests appear to be increasing in biomass density (BD). There is disagreement whether these increases are the result of increases in atmospheric CO2 concentrations or a legacy effect of previous land-use. Recently, it was suggested that

Does degradation from selective logging and illegal activities differently impact forest resources? A case study in Ghana [PDF]

, 2016
Degradation, a reduction of the ecosystem’s capacity to supply goods and services, is widespread in tropical forests and mainly caused by human disturbance.

Interaction of HS1BP3 with cortactin modulates TKS5 localisation, cell secretion and cancer malignancy

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Here, we demonstrate that HS1BP3 interacts with Cortactin through a proline‐rich region (PRR3.1) and show that this interaction, and HS1BP3 itself, promote cancer cell proliferation and invasion. Inhibition of this interaction leads to build‐up of TKS5 in multivesicular endosomes and altered secretion of CD63 and CD9, providing an explanation for the ...
