Settler Midwifery: A Colonial Tool in Canada's Reproductive Healthcare System

Birth, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The land we call Canada is a settler colonial country where reproductive healthcare is used as a mechanism to control, subjugate, and erase Indigenous people and to advance the White settler state. Healthcare providers play an integral role in the healthcare system and contribute to Canada's colonization.

Drastic peatland regime shift and landscape disturbances connected to warm and cold climate events over the past centuries in subarctic Finland

Boreas, EarlyView.
Palaeoecological studies reporting long‐term development histories of subarctic fens—explicitly, orohemiarctic peatlands—are scarce, and overall, permafrost‐free peatlands located in the immediate vicinity of permafrost zones have received little attention in Fennoscandia. Here, we use a multiproxy approach to study the millennial‐scale dynamics of two

Combining morphological and molecular data to study past foraminiferal communities from a temperate coastal sediment core

Boreas, EarlyView.
This paper presents the results of a dual approach for assessing fossil benthic foraminiferal communities using both traditional morphology‐based analyses and sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) metabarcoding. The main objectives are to test the feasibility of sedaDNA analyses to assess foraminiferal biodiversity in temperate shelf sediments (Le Croisic,

Assessment of the molecular mechanisms of drug‐induced hidden cardiotoxicity by a multi‐omics approach: The example of rofecoxib

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Hidden cardiotoxicity is defined as drug‐induced cardiotoxicity that becomes obvious only in the presence of comorbidities. However, the molecular mechanisms of hidden cardiotoxicity are not always known. Therefore, unbiased multi‐omics approaches could assist in revealing regulatory pathways.

Ecosystem services provided by spiders

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spiders, ubiquitous and abundant predators in terrestrial ecosystems, often are the subjects of an unjust negative perception. However, these remarkable creatures stand as unsung heroes within our ecosystems, contributing a multitude of ecosystem services critical to human well‐being.

Zebra stripes: the questions raised by the answers

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multiple hypotheses have been suggested to explain why the three zebra species (Equus quagga, E. grevyi and E. zebra) are striped. We review how well these theories explain the nature (rather than simply the existence) of the stripes. Specifically, we explore how well different theories explain (i) the form of zebra stripes (especially on ...

Corporate Governance: An International Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research Question/Issue What does it mean for a board director to be financially literate? Despite widespread agreement that financial competence is vital for corporate oversight, governance researchers have mostly focused on financial expertise at the board level.
