Digitalising biodiversity: Exploring perceptions on risks and opportunities

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Digitalisation is transforming biodiversity conservation, offering new opportunities for research, governance and public engagement. Herbarium digitisation, for example, enables large‐scale access to plant data, supporting conservation, restoration and sustainable use.

The Cardioprotective Role of Nitrate-Rich Vegetables

Foods
Nitric oxide (NO) is an inorganic radical produced by both the non-enzymatic nitrate (NO3−)—nitrite (NO2−)—NO pathway and enzymatic reactions catalyzed by nitric oxide synthase (NOS). Also, as nitrate and nitrite from dietary and other endogenous sources

The effects of moose and pine density on browsing damage in Swedish pine forests

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Moose Alces alces is a culturally and economically important game species in Sweden, but their browsing on regenerating Scots pine trees Pinus sylvestris often causes extensive damage to the production and quality of timber. Forest and wildlife managers are faced with the dilemma of how to reduce damage to timber trees while also supporting moose ...

Genome Expansion of ZPB1(a) and ZPC1(a) in Basal Species or Liver Expression of ZPB1a and ZPC1aa in Advanced Species, Two Different Strategies to Ensure Sufficient ZP Synthesis in Teleosts

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We found that teleosts employed two different strategies to ensure sufficient ZP (zona pellucida) synthesis: expansion of ZPB1(a) and ZPC1(a) in basal species or liver expression of ZPB1a and ZPC1aa in advanced species. The N‐terminus of expanded ZPB1(a) or ZPC1(a) and liver‐expressed ZPB1a contains repeated units or low‐complexity regions to form ...

Annual flower strips under the ‘Sweden Blossom’ initiative – how do they perform for pollinators, natural enemies and herbivores?

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Pollinator‐targeted annual flower strips increase abundances of pollinators but also natural enemies and herbivores. Natural enemies and herbivores disperse in a taxon‐specific manner into nearby crops. Pest control by ground‐dwellers slightly increases in crop areas near the flower strips.

Real‐world evaluation of a population‐based vaginal self‐sampling program for cervical cancer prevention in Region Skåne, Sweden

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Large‐scale HPV self‐sampling screening distributed 557 976 kits, resulting in 208 386 returned samples with 98% validity. HPV positivity was detected in 19% of participants, leading to clinical follow‐up. Biopsy confirmed 980 high‐grade cervical lesions and 32 cervical cancers.
