Gonadal Development–Related Genes and a Male‐Specific Genetic Marker Identified in the Endangered Sichuan Taimen (Hucho bleekeri)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Integrated transcriptomic and proteomic analyses were used to validate gonadal development–related genes and to identify a sex‐specific molecular marker in Hucho bleekeri. ABSTRACT Sex determination and differentiation represent fundamental topics in reproductive biology. Sichuan taimen (Hucho bleekeri), a first‐class national protected fish species in

Seasonal Habitat Selection by a Threatened Ungulate in an Industrializing Boreal Landscape

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Understanding habitat selection by Threatened wood bison in landscapes characterized by anthropogenic disturbance is important for conservation planning. During summer and winter, bison selected for linear (e.g., roads, seismic lines, pipelines) and polygonal (e.g., well sites) disturbances, unless there were high densities of linear features.

Downstream Passage Performance of European Silver Eels (Anguilla anguilla): The Importance of Phenotypic Variation and Rack Design

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
During their spawning migration, European silver eels frequently encounter hydropower facilities where successful downstream passage is essential for the conservation of this critically endangered species. In this study, we evaluated how three angled rack designs and individual behavioral variation influenced downstream passage success in large‐scale ...

Brokers, Collaborators and Knowledge Translators: Expanding the Role of Research Assistants in Geographic Research

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While ‘local’ research assistants (RA) often play a key role in knowledge production in fieldwork‐based disciplines like geography, their role and agency often remain silenced. This paper brings together scholarship in feminist geography and critical development studies to reposition RAs as brokers, collaborators, and knowledge translators.

Research Ethics in Conflict Zones: Reflections on ‘Do no Harm’ Ethics for the Research Network

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT What does it mean to ‘do no harm’ in academic research? ‘Do no harm’ ethics emphasizes the responsibility of researchers to mitigate the emotional, physical, and political harms that may arise through participation in research. These concerns are heightened in conflict zones, where access constraints and intersecting vulnerabilities shape the ...
