Fire‐driven forest degradation enhances termite activity and accelerates litter decomposition in the Amazonia rainforest

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Forest degradation increased termite‐mediated litter decomposition, whereas no such effect was detected in undisturbed forests. Reduced ant predation and altered forest conditions were associated with higher termite abundance and faster litter decomposition.

Cleanse, Perfuse, Retain (CPR) Protocol for Management of Postoperative Infections With d‐PTFE Membranes: Clinical Reports of Three Cases

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Postoperative infection is a serious complication of bone augmentation procedures, potentially resulting in graft failure, basal bone resorption, and spread of infection to adjacent anatomic spaces. This paper introduces the CPR (Cleanse, Perfuse, and Retain) protocol and illustrates its clinical application in the management of low‐

Relationship between the environment and the occurrence of invasive pumpkinseed Lepomis gibbosus in lotic and lentic habitats

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The pumpkinseed Lepomis gibbosus is a freshwater fish species native to North America. It has been introduced to Europe, where it is recognized as one of the worst aquatic invaders due to its high adaptability and invasive potential. This study aimed to determine the presence of L. gibbosus in small to medium‐sized water bodies, both lotic and

Points vs. passes: A comparison between electric fishing techniques for sampling fish populations in upland headwater streams

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Point‐abundance sampling by electric fishing (PASE) was compared with single‐pass (DF1) and triple‐pass depletion sampling (DF3) electric fishing on the same reaches of four headwater streams sampled over multiple years in the Ribble catchment, UK. Juvenile salmonids, mostly brown trout Salmo trutta with some Atlantic salmon S.
