Regional conservation planning tool: A spreadsheet model to support spatial prioritization and resource allocation decisions

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Abstract Prioritization is a central component of natural resource management because conservation needs routinely exceed available resources. Waterfowl and wetland conservation programs in North America are at the forefront of landscape‐scale prioritization and transboundary management decisions due to the migratory nature of ducks, geese, and swans ...

Ducks across the pond ‐ challenges and opportunities for collaboration between North America and Europe

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Abstract Many waterfowl species and closely related congeners are shared across the Holarctic, and are culturally and economically important in both North America and Europe. Accordingly, both continents have developed science and management frameworks in an attempt to establish evidence‐based conservation practices for this guild of birds.

Convergent Interval Confirmation for Three‐Step Discrete Specific Zeroing Neural Dynamics Illustrated With Repetitive Motion Planning of Redundant Manipulators

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Repetitive motion planning (RMP) for redundant manipulators with high convergent precision becomes an intense research topic due to its more degrees of freedom. In this paper, a specific zeroing neural dynamics (SZND) model for the RMP is first set up via zeroing neurodynamics.

Soil and microbial responses to wild ungulate trampling depend more on ecosystem type than trampling severity

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Physical trampling is a ubiquitous activity of walking vertebrates, but is poorly understood as a mechanism impacting biogeochemical cycling in soil. Lack of detailed knowledge of soil abiotic–biotic interactions underlying trampling effects, and the primary sources of ...

‘Reinventing’ the Beach? Lessons from a Local Development Plan in the French Riviera

The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Coastal squeeze is now so tangible both globally and locally that the focus of scientific debate has expanded from the erosion of beaches to the risk of their disappearance. In this context, it is crucial to explore local development plans that aim to preserve the long‐term existence of a beach.

Islam at the monastery: on infinity as subtractive truth L'islam au monastère : de l'infini comme vérité soustractive

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Based on ethnographic research at Rūm Orthodox Christian monasteries in Lebanon, the article studies scenes of Islam at the monastery as they intersect with anxious public debates on, and anthropological theorizations of, sectarianism and ‘Muslim–Christian’ relations in the Mashriq.

Adaptation of the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii to a specialized nutritional niche

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Unlike most Drosophila larvae that feed on spoiled food, Drosophila suzukii larvae thrive on ripening fruits and consequently face a low‐protein, high‐carbohydrate nutritional challenge. Comparisons of growth among D. suzukii, D. biarmipes, and D. melanogaster larvae across diets with varying protein‐to‐carbohydrate ratios demonstrate that D.

Cardiovascular Plasticity and Adaptation of High‐Altitude Birds and Mammals

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This schematic depicts the cardiovascular adaptations of mammals and birds to high‐altitude hypoxia. It highlights key phenotypic changes in oxygen transport and cardiac responses, driven by molecular mechanisms including transcriptional regulation and genetic modifications.
