ABSTRACT The regulation of business is increasingly characterized by “soft” governance regimes that blur the boundaries of public and private authority, as signaled by the rapid proliferation of multistakeholder initiatives in global governance. This article explores how the spread of multistakeholderism creates opportunities for new forms of strategic

Potential health benefits of cold‐water immersion: the central role of PGC‐1α
Abstract figure legend Cold‐water immersion (CWI) elicits autonomic, somato‐motoric (shivering thermogenesis), endocrine and metabolic, sensory transduction, and local biophysical effects that may converge on the transcriptional co‐activator PGC‐1α (centre).

Estimation of the Number of Nuisance Bears in the Oshima Peninsula, Hokkaido
In this study, we aimed to estimate the number of nuisance bears based on damage and occurrence reports collected from 2009 to 2023 in the Oshima Peninsula, Hokkaido. For the estimation, we assessed the harmfulness level (from Condition 0 to 3) of the bears based on the details of the reports and developed a method to remove double or more overcounts ...

ABSTRACT Amphibians are the most threatened vertebrate class globally. Climate change, agrochemicals, and/or pathogens and parasites are implicated in contributing to amphibian declines, either singly or in combination. We investigated individual and combined effects of elevated temperatures and atrazine (2.0 μg/L) on Lithobates [formerly Rana] pipiens

The Southernmost Known Population of the Monito Del Monte, Dromiciops gliroides
A range extension for a relict south American marsupial. ABSTRACT The monito del monte (genus Dromiciops) is a small arboreal marsupial endemic to the temperate rainforests of southern South America, and the sole extant representative of the order Microbiotheria. This lineage, considered a sister group of Australian marsupials, is of great evolutionary,

The greatest morphological differences are observed between the northeastern regions of China and the Qinghai‐Tibet regions. Elevation and temperature are the primary climatic factors causing morphological variation. Compared to the current period, the future suitable habitat area for Five‐toed jerboa is expected to decrease and shift toward higher ...

Monitoring Brown Bears in Kazakhstan: A Pilot Study from the Altai Mountain Region
Here, we present results from the first camera trapping operation designed to detect brown bears in the Altai Mountain Region of Kazahstan and highlight some lessons learned from the pilot study. Our study was conducted at a relatively local scale but represents a first step towards understanding the presence of brown bears and other mammals in a ...

This research clarifies the synergistic adaptive interactions between seasonal foraging strategies and gut microbiome composition in Chinese chiropterans. Microbial diversity and community structure exhibit seasonal fluctuations, with functional metabolic pathways aligning to host reproductive cycles and hibernation physiology, thereby substantiating ...
