A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Intermittent Sequential Herbivory Affects Herbivore Growth Traits but Not Plant Fitness in Soybean

Food and Energy Security
Plants are often attacked by multiple herbivores. Most studies on plant–herbivore interactions focus on pairwise comparisons, examining one or two herbivores attacking a single species, or a single herbivore attacking multiple species.

The extension of the taxon cycle model to island plants: insights from the Canarian vascular flora

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Taxon cycle models describe eco‐evolutionary patterns of lineage colonization, diversification, and decline across archipelagos, inferring an important role for competition amongst ecologically similar taxa in driving concurrent niche changes.

Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

The future of tissue viability [PDF]

, 2011
As we all attend the annual Wounds UK event in Harrogate, it is probably an ideal time to reflect on the changes over the last twelve months and tissue viability as a specialty service.

Toward an SDG‐Based Typology for US Nonprofits

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represent an emerging institutional logic that nonprofits must navigate alongside existing sector‐specific frameworks. Drawing on institutional logics and organizational hybridity theories, we examine how nonprofits incorporate SDGs into their missions and what this reveals about managing institutional ...

PKRxiv: A Best Practice Model for Advancing Pharmacoequity Through Open Pharmacokinetic Data Sharing

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Model‐informed drug development is increasingly integrated across the drug development continuum, enabling more efficient, cost‐effective, and targeted trials while reducing reliance on animal studies. Achieving pharmacoequity requires not only equitable access to medicines but also to the data and knowledge that inform drug development and regulatory ...

Tracking Climate and Environmental Attention: A News‐Based Composite Index

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study introduces the Climate and Environmental Attention Index, a composite indicator that tracks media attention to climate and environmental issues. Based on the Semantic Brand Score, the proposed index extracts significant signals from unstructured text, going beyond traditional measures of word frequency and sentiment.
