Bushmeat consumption frequency and preferences among rural households in a West African savanna landscape: Implications for food security and conservation

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The drivers of consumer demand for bushmeat are relatively well studied in tropical forest systems, but much less so in savanna areas. This is important because differing ecological and socio‐economic conditions lead to different factors affecting the relationship between local communities and their natural resources.

Computational Characterization of the Role of LEM2/LaminA Interactions on the Stability of BAF‐Dimer Using Molecular Simulations

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The effect of the presence of the BAF‐binding LEM‐domain and LaminA Ig‐fold on the stability of the BAF dimer was studied qualitatively using non‐equilibrium pull simulations and quantitatively through the calculation of the potential of mean force profile along BAF–BAF separation distance.

Cross‐Linking Mass Spectrometry of the Antimicrobial Peptides Magainin 2 and PGLa Reveals Heterodimerization in Micellar Medium

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rationale In this study, we applied cross‐linking mass spectrometry (XL‐MS) to characterize the oligomeric states of a PGLa/magainin 2 mixture and gain insight into the heterodimerization previously suggested in the literature. Both peptides have shown a synergistic enhancement of activity when tested in antimicrobial assays; however, the ...

Monitoring feral pigs (Sus scrofa): Complementarity between autonomous sensing methods increases detection probability

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Invasive alien species are a major threat for biodiversity worldwide and effective monitoring is paramount to inform management. In this study we used a multi‐season occupancy model to assess probability of detection between camera traps and passive acoustic recorders for feral pigs (Sus scrofa) during 1 year of data collection.

Identity Play: Middle School Youths' Provisional Self‐Making in Horizon‐Expanding STEM Spaces

Science Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study introduces identity play as an analytic construct for science education to explore improvisational dimensions of middle school students' STEM identity development in multiple out‐of‐school learning experiences focused on environmental problem‐solving.
