Opium Cultivation Imperilling Endangered Species in Northern Laos

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
To avoid government eradication efforts, farmers in northeastern Laos shifted opium cultivation deep into a national park, causing a > 1000% increase in protected forest cleared for the crop between 2018 and 2022. This displacement directly threatened endangered species like white‐cheeked gibbons, elephants, and dholes by causing a rise in hunting ...

Human Recreation and Fire History Shape Landscape Connectivity for an Endangered Forest Carnivore

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Roads and trails can impede wildlife movement, but their permeability varies with human use and fire history. We combined GPS telemetry from 45 endangered southern Sierra Nevada fishers (Pekania pennanti) with smartphone‐derived human mobility data to estimate crossing probability across road and trail segments. Fishers were about 2.5 times more likely

The dual crisis: Climate change simultaneously drives pollinator decline and pest outbreaks

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Climate change acts as an asymmetric ecological filter, favouring r‐selected pest traits (rapid reproduction, generalism) while disadvantaging K‐selected pollinators. For every 1°C of warming, bee species richness declines ~25% since the 1990s, while pest‐induced crop losses increase by 10%–25%. A network‐centric approach integrating climate‐responsive

Implementation and Management of Cancer Clinical Quality Registries in Australia: A Qualitative Study

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology, EarlyView.
While stakeholders saw value in cancer CQRs, concerns about funding, staffing, ethics, governance, and data quality were viewed as threats to sustainability. Ensuring ongoing value and viability will require investments in staff training and recruitment, integration with existing data collections, and clearer uses of CQR data to improve healthcare ...
