BACKGROUND The success rate of in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) remains low and many women undergo multiple treatment cycles. A previous meta-analysis suggested hysteroscopy could improve outcomes in women who have had recurrent implantation failure; however,

Abstract Abundance indices suggested that the moose Alces alces population in northern New Hampshire was stable despite favourable habitat and conservative harvest. Causes and rates of mortality were unknown because moose reproduction and survival was unstudied in the region. Our study was designed to investigate the dynamics of the regional population

Maternal Mosaicism Challenges in Non‐Invasive Prenatal Diagnosis
ABSTRACT Objective To report the incidental detection of maternal somatic mosaicism during the development of exclusion‐based non‐invasive prenatal diagnosis for monogenic disorders (NIPD‐MD) initially indicated for apparently de novo pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants.

Abstract We studied the factors that determine the presence of the cinereous vulture Aegypius monachus at 134 carcasses experimentally distributed in Special Protection Areas for Birds (SPA) in western and central Spain. Our goals were to assess the use of these carcasses and by‐products in order to find out the cinereous vulture's food preferences and

Modeling rice leaf area index and canopy height in the US Mid‐South region
Abstract Crop growth modeling plays a critical role in addressing the global challenges of food scarcity, carbon cycling, and water management. By simulating crop development from environmental factors, these models help predict harvest yield and carbon or water cycle terms and thus can inform policy and investment decisions.

Reproduction parameters of the Iberian hare Lepus granatensis at the edge of its range
Abstract In order to provide a basis for the sustainable exploitation of the heavily hunted Iberian hare Lepus granatensis, we compared its reproductive parameters at the northern edge of its range, where it occurs at low densities, with those reported in other studies elsewhere within the species' range.

Exposure to synthetic chemicals is a key environmental challenge faced by aquatic organisms. The time and dose effects of the pharmaceuticals diclofenac, ibuprofen, and sildenafil citrate on sperm motility and successful fertilisation are studied using ...

ABSTRACT Many sectors of society have urged a transition from modern conventional agriculture to more sustainable alternatives. One of the most frequently mentioned is agroecology, due to its potential to improve soil health, promote agrobiodiversity, food sovereignty, and regenerate ecosystem functions.

Sex‐selective harvesting of polar bears Ursus maritimus
Abstract We explored limits and consequences of male‐biased harvesting of polar bears Ursus maritimus using a simulated population based on empirically‐derived estimates of age‐specific rates of survival and reproduction. The maximum sustainable yield (MSY) was identified as the total kill in which the number of females that could be taken resulted in ≤

Genetic implications of reduced survival of male red deer Cervus elaphus under harvest
Abstract We use simple, multivariate evolutionary models to evaluate the short‐term potential for size‐selective harvest to reduce genetic variability and alter life history in cervids. These genetic effects limit sustainable levels of harvest of the animals because they determine how changes in sex ratio, generation length and traits contributing to ...
