The importance of wild meat and freshwater fish for children's nutritional intake in the Congo Basin

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild meat and freshwater fish are widely consumed in the Congo Basin, but in some areas, they are at risk of disappearing due to unsustainable hunting and fishing and changes in their habitat. Wild meat is also at risk of being eliminated from local diets due to potential policy changes such as wild meat bans.

Comparative evaluation of specimen type and processing conditions for studying oyster microbiomes

Frontiers in Microbiology
Metagenomic sequencing is increasingly being employed to understand the assemblage and dynamics of the oyster microbiome. Specimen collection and processing steps can impact the resultant microbiome composition and introduce bias.

More than proteins for empty stomachs: Wild meat in the BaTonga food system

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Our paper highlights the limitations of the framework used by many conservation‐focused programmes that incorporate food security objectives. This framework encourages the substitution of wild proteins with domestic proteins by promoting animal farming in communities located near conservation areas.

Systems of reciprocity in human–ocean relationships: Across time, place, language and culture

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract In the face of large‐scale marine environmental challenges, solutions that meaningfully capture the complexity of socio‐cultural and economic factors contributing to such issues—and their solutions—are urgently needed. This scoping review explores examples of reciprocity in human–ocean relationships to inform the conceptual underpinning and ...

When invasions go unnoticed: Public perception of the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii in Europe

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Biological invasions are a major driver of biodiversity loss, yet inconspicuous or “cryptic” species often escape detection and public awareness, limiting management responses. We investigated the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii, likely native to China and now present on six continents, through a 22‐month multilingual online survey

Deep learning‐based super‐resolution reconstruction and improved YOLOv9 for efficient benthos detection: a case study at Lake Hamana, Japan

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study presents a UAV‐based framework that integrates deep learning‐based super‐resolution reconstruction and an enhanced YOLO detector to improve centimetre‐scale benthic organism monitoring. Using hermit crabs in Lake Hamana, a coastal lagoon in Japan, as a case study, the method substantially enhanced small‐object detection performance ...

Genetic Diversity and Phylogeography of Schistosoma mansoni from Guinea

Diversity
Human schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by six Schistosoma species, the most widespread of which is S. mansoni. Despite its high prevalence in Africa, molecular data on the parasite remain scarce in many regions, including the ...
