Wild meat consumption in changing rural landscapes of Indonesian Borneo

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild meat can play a crucial role in the food system of rural communities residing near tropical forests. Yet, socio‐ecological changes across tropical landscapes are impacting the patterns and sustainability of meat consumption. To understand the prevalence, frequency and drivers of wild meat, domestic meat and fish consumption in this ...

Capacity building needed to reap the benefits of access to biodiversity collections

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Global conservation efforts increasingly depend on digitised natural history collections, yet the benefits of this digital data are not equally shared. We analysed biodiversity specimens and citation data from Montserrat and the Cayman Islands to assess who collected these specimens, how they are used, and by whom.

Effects of Incubation and Rearing Temperatures on Caiman latirostris Growth [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Different studies found that incubation temperature has an influence on the size of Caiman latirostris hatchlings and determines their gonadal sex. Experimental manipulations revealed that the effects of temperature on growth are independent of sex ...

Impact of parameterization in multiple acoustic index comparisons: practical cases in terrestrial and underwater soundscapes

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Parameter choices in acoustic analyses (sampling frequency, FFT size and window overlap) strongly influence multivariate soundscape separation. Using terrestrial and coral reef recordings, we show that these settings can exaggerate or mask ecological differences, emphasizing the need for parameter sensitivity testing and transparent reporting in ...

How Do We Measure and Increase Systems Thinking? Comparing Self‐Reported and Performative Metrics in Response to Building Causal Loop Models

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Systems thinking is a mindset and skill essential to understanding and addressing complex challenges. However, increasing and measuring systems thinking is difficult. In this research, we compared multiple approaches to measuring systems thinking, including self‐reported measures of a systems thinking mindset and performative measures of ...

Competition and Environmental Stress Impacts on Trophic Performance of Three Sympatric Insectivorous Lizard Species in Eastern Spain

open access: yesSci
Trophic ecology is an important aspect to consider when studying interactions between species, especially in ecologically similar species. We studied the trophic ecology of three sympatric insectivorous lizards in a dune system in the Eastern Iberian ...

Phase Hologram by Acoustic Metasurfaces

open access: yesSmall Structures, EarlyView.
This work has achieved a breakthrough in holographic communication, realizing phase holographic imaging. The proposed phase holographic concept overcomes the limitations of traditional amplitude holographic energy attenuation. The design of its amplitude compensation method further addresses the key challenge of phase holographic imaging clarity ...

Mentoring matters to early‐career veterinarians' confidence, clinical growth and career retention: A qualitative interview study

open access: yesVeterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Veterinarians in clinical practice, especially early‐career veterinarians and those identifying as women, have higher levels of negative mental health outcomes compared to the general population. Partnering with a mentor can mitigate some of the work‐related challenges that may contribute to poor mental health and career attrition ...
