Diagnosing scaling bottlenecks in 10 community conservation initiatives in southern and eastern Africa

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Scaling area‐based conservation, including initiatives led or comanaged by Indigenous Peoples and local communities, is a flagship goal of the Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Conservationists often aspire to scale initiatives, but this is rarely achieved in practice. Identifying and addressing factors that limit initiative adoption (i.e.

Real‐world prevalence of PD‐L1 positivity in early‐stage/metastatic triple‐negative breast cancer: primary results and pathology insights from the global retrospective observational VANESSA study

Histopathology, EarlyView.
In the real‐world VANESSA study in triple‐negative breast cancer, PD‐L1‐positive prevalence was 38% in early‐stage and 20% in metastatic tumours, lower than in prospective trials. The lower prevalence in smaller versus larger tissue samples and by local versus central assessment underlines the importance of robust PD‐L1 testing to determine eligibility

Species characteristics predict the effectiveness of avian survey methods in an Afromontane sky‐island

Ibis, EarlyView.
Biodiversity conservation requires effective monitoring of ecological communities in remote locations, where limited accessibility often restricts survey efforts. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is becoming an established method for measuring biodiversity, facilitated by the increased accessibility of autonomous recording units.

A Joint Pest Management Model for the Bean Fly Complex, Ophiomyia spencerella and Ophiomyia phaseoli (Diptera: Agromyzidae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The common bean is an important crop in Eastern Africa for smallholder farmers, yet yields are often reduced due to pests, particularly Ophiomyia spencerella and Ophiomyia phaseoli. These species are partially sympatric and commonly known as the bean fly. Here, based on the similarity of their life history and developmental biology, field data
