Urban Ponds and the Emerging Role of Garden Ponds: Ecosystem Services and Disservices, Multifunctionality, and Trade‐Offs

WIREs Water, Volume 12, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Urban ponds and garden ponds—a specific subset of the former, usually located in private gardens—are both typical examples of ponds in the urban landscape. They deliver multiple ecosystem services but can also contribute to ecosystem disservices. The role of garden ponds is largely unknown compared to other urban ponds.

Genetic Insights: Balancing Milk Yield, Fat: Protein Ratio and Fertility in Primiparous Cows From Subtropical Regions

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 142, Issue 6, Page 753-764, November 2025.
ABSTRACT In this study, we aimed to evaluate the genetic association between fertility traits, milk yield and the fat: protein ratio (FPR) on the test day in primiparous Holstein cows. The analysed traits were milk yield (TDMY) and FPR assessed on the test day, as well as the following fertility traits: period from calving to first service (CFS), days ...

A globally influential area‐condition metric is a poor proxy for invertebrate biodiversity

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 10, Page 2529-2540, October 2025.
Our results highlight the need to incorporate factors beyond habitat type and condition into site evaluations, and to complement metric use with species‐based surveys. Abstract There is increasing demand for standardised, easy‐to‐use metrics to assess progress towards achieving biodiversity targets and the effectiveness of ecological compensation ...

Ground zero soil sampling: Trinity, 1945

Geology Today, Volume 41, Issue 4, Page 137-146, July/August 2025.
At Trinity—the world's first nuclear weapons testing site—large quantities of soil were drawn into the fireball to redeposit either downwind as radioactive fallout or in the near‐field as a unique, anthropogenic silicate glass trinitite. Manhattan Project physicists and chemists came to see soils at the Trinity site as a useful medium to assess the ...

Impact of a two‐stage rumen cannulation on the health and rumen function of six lactating dairy cows

Veterinary Surgery, Volume 54, Issue 2, Page 389-397, February 2025.
Abstract Objective To determine the impact of a two‐stage rumen cannulation on the health and rumen function of lactating dairy cows. Study design Experimental study. Animals Six lactating Holstein cows. Methods We performed a two‐stage rumen cannulation in six Holstein cows that were 49 ± 11 days in milk.

Molten Flux Synthesis of Plutonium (IV) Silicates K2PuSi2O7 and Rb2PuSi6O15

European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, Volume 27, Issue 36, December 20, 2024.
K2PuSi2O7 and Rb2PuSi6O15 were synthesized using a molten flux technique and structurally characterized using both single crystal X‐ray diffraction and Raman analysis. The structure and reaction conditions of these compounds were compared to other reported alkali MIV silicates found in the literature, where M=Pu, Ce, U, and Th.

Contaminated sites and Indigenous peoples in Canada and the United States: A scoping review

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Volume 20, Issue 5, Page 1306-1329, September 2024.
Abstract Indigenous communities are disproportionately exposed to contaminated sites, and this poses unique challenges as many Indigenous peoples consider land as an integral part of their culture and economy. This scoping review aimed to identify and map information on contaminated sites and Indigenous peoples in Canada and the United States, namely ...

Experimental laboratory models as tools for understanding modifiable dementia risk

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 20, Issue 6, Page 4260-4289, June 2024.
Abstract Experimental laboratory research has an important role to play in dementia prevention. Mechanisms underlying modifiable risk factors for dementia are promising targets for dementia prevention but are difficult to investigate in human populations due to technological constraints and confounds.
