Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Ex situ plant collections may be increasingly needed to protect representative samples of threatened or rare species and provide plant material for conservation translocation. A primary problem in these ex situ collections is loss of intraspecific variation due to plant death. Different management actions would be required depending on whether

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.Novel curcumin‐derived M4 binds HSP70's ATPase domain, disrupting HSP70‐mediated lysosomes‐autophagy pathway to inhibit TNBC growth and metastasis, and synergizes with paclitaxel for potent combination therapy. ABSTRACT Structural modification of curcumin yielded a novel series of 1,4‐pentadien‐3‐one oxime ether derivatives, among which compound M4 ...

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.In the Drosophila ovarian niche, an E‐cadherin‐to‐N‐cadherin switch, mediated by Wnt‐mir‐994 signalling, is repurposed to ensure niche resilience. This compensatory mechanism maintains niche integrity and stem cell support upon E‐cadherin loss, revealing a robustness circuit.

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.We demonstrate that the Red List Index and effective population size indicators share population data requirements, so their generation can be built into existing workflows for Red List assessment. Benefits of this approach include more efficient monitoring and generation of conservation insights that might otherwise remain unnoticed. Abstract Target 4

To release or not to release? A call for caution when considering wildlife reintroductions
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Conservation efforts often focus on flagship species and short‐term measures such as captive breeding and reintroductions, yet these approaches may benefit from being complemented with a broader view of the factors that influence long‐term recovery. Using examples from management programs in the Iberian Peninsula, we highlight the value of considering ...

Passive transponder implantation in Theraphosidae: A tool for traceability and conservation
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.PIT TAG microchip implantation was successfully performed in multiple tarantula species, showing high tolerance, rapid recovery from anaesthesia and no mortality associated with the procedure. Microchips remained stable and detectable after successive ecdysis events, with no negative effects on feeding behaviour, development, courtship, mating success ...

To provide pollinator nesting habitat, cut dead perennial stems in their first winter
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Garden management practises need to consider stem‐nesting bees and wasps to avoid destroying active nests and important nesting materials. Volunteers collected samples of dead stems (in situ where they grew) in winter, spring, summer and fall as part of a participatory research project.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.A unique high‐elevation Exoneura bee defies typical elevation‐driven declines in bee activity, nesting exclusively in dead branches of snow gums near the alpine tree line. Nesting and foraging are tightly linked to snow gum presence, with most activity occurring within 30 m of these trees. Biophysical modelling indicates the bee's thermally constrained
