Focused deterrence can reduce crime: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials and quasi‐experiments

Criminology &Public Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract Research summary Crime and violence continue to be problems that plague urban areas across the United States and the globe. One key approach for responding to these problems is “focused deterrence” which includes programs that prevent criminal behavior by blending criminal justice, social service, and community‐based action.

Differences in Habitat Quality Drive Behavioral Contrasts in Two Family Groups of the Critically Endangered Hainan Gibbon (Nomascus hainanus)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Habitat quality variation drove distinct behavioral strategies: GC (resource‐rich group) behaviors were influenced by food availability, safety and stability, while GE (resource‐scarce group) behaviors relied more on topography, food, and nutrients. Seasonal behavioral flexibility was demonstrated, with food variables dominating in the dry season and ...

Geological Substrate Is Related to Tooth Senescence and Population Dynamic: The Case Study of Alpine Chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra L.)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In Alpine chamois, the complete wear of the first molar coincides with the beginning of senescence and the progress of tooth wear on calcareous substrate is slower than the one on other substrates, increasing life expectancy. Thus, the first molar wear may actually be considered as an effective descriptor of senescence stage.

Extreme Silk Toughness in Caerostris Spiders Is Limited to Adult Females

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We ask whether species with exceptionally tough silk, like Caerostris bark spiders, show different developmental patterns in silk toughness between ontogenetic stages and sexes. We found that only large females produce exceptionally tough silk with higher initial stiffness, while juvenile females as well as adult and juvenile males produce inferior ...

Unraveling Occurrence Patterns and Diversity of Avian Malaria Parasites in Iberian Obligate and Facultative Scavenger Birds

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Low overall haemosporidian occurrence (3.4%; 13/383). Unexpected high lineage diversity (10 new host–parasite interactions). Novel Leucocytozoon lineage (GYPBAR01) in all European vultures except the griffon vulture. Plasmodium relictum (lineage SGS1) in adult red kites.
