ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

Abstract Introduction Giant tortoises are critical for restoring lost ecological interactions on islands. Following their extinction in Seychelles centuries ago, key ecosystem processes like seed dispersal, browsing, and nutrient cycling were disrupted.

In ecological field studies where species‐level identification is challenging, practical approaches based on external morphological traits may provide a useful basis for rapid assessments. Here, New Zealand serpulid worms were initially grouped based on their external calcareous tube morphology and subsequently sequenced using the 18S rRNA gene to ...

ABSTRACT Three categories of explanations exist for why we age: mechanistic theories, which omit reference to evolutionary forces; weakening force of selection theories, which posit that barriers exist that prevent evolutionary forces from optimising fitness in ageing; and optimisation theories, which posit that evolutionary forces actually select for ...

We introduce ENHYDROSS, a new mechanistic model that uses optimal swimming speed and minimum cost of transport to estimate maximum dispersal distances and durations for vertebrates, enabling assessment of long‐distance oceanic dispersal potential. Applied to a range of extant and extinct animals, the model's estimates generally align with observed data;

Financing Marine Conservation: A Menu of Options [PDF]
This guide describes over 30 mechanisms for financing the conservation of marine biodiversity, both within and outside of MPAs. Its main purpose is to familiarize conservation professionals i.e., the managers and staff of government conservation agencies,

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Vedolizumab has become the preferred first‐line advanced therapy in ulcerative colitis (UC). However, the optimal second‐line treatment following vedolizumab failure remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of second‐line therapies after first‐line vedolizumab.

ABSTRACT Phylogenomics is a transformative approach in systematics, conservation biology, and biomedical research, enabling the inference of evolutionary relationships by leveraging hundreds to thousands of genes from genomic or transcriptomic data. However, acquiring high‐quality genomes and transcriptomes necessitates samples with intact DNA and RNA,

ABSTRACT The coevolutionary radiation of 27 species of Tetraopes longhorned beetles and their Asclepias milkweed hosts represents a classic example of adaptive evolution driven by plant chemical defences and herbivore counteradaptations. Investigations to date, however, have focused on a single species, Tetraopes tetrophthalmus, which feeds on the ...
