The thin edge of the wedge: extremely high extinction risk in wedgefishes and giant guitarfishes
bioRxiv, 2019 The process of understanding the rapid global decline of sawfishes (Pristidae) has revealed great concern for their relatives, the wedgefishes (Rhinidae) and giant guitarfishes (Glaucostegidae), not least because all three families are targeted for their

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.Eight wild plant species were investigated as co‐substrates for pellet combustion. A long‐term field trial examined dry matter yield and biochemical composition, influencing combustion properties. Results show suitable combustion properties, comparable to Sida, with higher ash melting temperatures than Miscanthus, due to elevated calcium and magnesium.

Stochastic models of population extinction
, 2010 Theoretical ecologists have long sought to understand how the persistence of populations depends on biotic and abiotic factors. Classical work showed that demographic stochasticity causes the mean time to extinction to increase exponentially with ...

Drivers of extinction risk in African mammals: the interplay of distribution state, human pressure, conservation response and species biology [PDF]
, 2014 Although conservation intervention has reversed the decline of some species, our success is outweighed by a much larger number of species moving towards extinction.

Changes in human footprint drive changes in species extinction risk
Nature Communications, 2018 Predicting how species respond to human pressure is essential to anticipate their decline and identify appropriate conservation strategies. Both human pressure and extinction risk change over time, but their inter-relationship is rarely considered in ...

Modeling Control of Invasive Fire Ants by Gene Drive
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The fire ant Solenopsis invicta is characterized by exceptional invasive capabilities, rendering conventional control ineffective. Here, we explore the use of homing suppression gene drive in fire ants by developing a spatially explicit model. Overall, these results show that target population suppression requires an extended time scale, but that gene ...

Microbial Community Succession Sustains Fish Diversity in the Upper Yangtze River Reserve
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Critical for river ecosystem sustainability, fish diversity relates to multitrophic microbes. This upper Yangtze FNNR study used eDNA to examine microbial succession‐fish links, finding key drivers, distinct assembly processes, and that microbial cross‐trophic interactions benefit fish, offering conservation insights.
