Revealing Hidden Impact: Social and Solidarity Economy Enterprise Networks and Sustainable Development in Developing Countries

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) offers strong potential for sustainable development in low‐income regions, yet its enterprises often operate with scarce resources, weak monitoring systems, and limited visibility. These constraints hinder both their capacity to demonstrate contributions to sustainable development (SD) and their own ...

Dual Detection of Pathogenic tdh and trh Genes of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in Oysters Using Multienzyme Isothermal Rapid Amplification (MIRA) Combined with Lateral-Flow Dipstick (LFD) Assay

Microbiology Research
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a foodborne pathogen commonly associated with the consumption of contaminated seafood, particularly oysters. While PCR and real-time PCR are widely used to detect its pathogenicity through tdh and trh gene detection, these ...

Forgoing Nuclear: Nuclear Power Plant Closures and Carbon Emissions in the United States

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the effect of nuclear power plant decommissioning on electricity generation and carbon emissions in the United States. Using data on nuclear reactor closures in the United States between 1993 and 2022 and data on state‐level carbon emissions and electricity generation from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), this ...

A high‐altitude thermal infrared method for estimating moose abundance and demography in Rocky Mountain National Park, USA

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Resource managers require accurate estimates of large herbivore abundance and demography to maintain ecological integrity. Common methods to count these species, including observations from low altitude helicopter flights, may conflict with other protected area management objectives and struggle to produce precise estimates for more cryptic species. To

Aragonite Saturation State as an Indicator for Oyster Habitat Health in the Delaware Inland Bays

Coasts
Bivalves such as oysters rely on aragonite and calcite for shell formation via the biomineralization of calcium carbonate. Ocean acidification reduces carbonate ion availability, compromising shell growth and inducing dissolution under undersaturated ...

Pittman‐Robertson and Dingell‐Johnson: A Congressional endorsement of state supremacy over wildlife?

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pittman–Robertson Act of 1937 (PR) and the Dingell–Johnson Act of 1950 (DJ) provide states with substantial capacity to manage fish and wildlife by directing revenue from federal excise taxes on hunting and fishing equipment to states. The precise scope of state and federal wildlife management authority has been a topic of debate among ...

Mercury Bioaccumulation in Mangrove Oysters (Crassostrea rhizophorae) (Guilding, 1828) and Associated Human Exposure from the Parnaíba River Delta, Equatorial Coast of Brazil

Toxics
The present study quantifies mercury (Hg) concentrations in mangrove oysters (Crassostrea rhizophorae) and assesses their potential as biomonitors of Hg contamination in the Parnaíba River Delta (PRD), located on the equatorial coast of Brazil (ECB). The

Mobile consumers influence the shoreward edge of intertidal seagrass ecosystems

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Ecological paradigms suggest that the environmentally stressful edge of a habitat is determined by physical factors. The work finds that, counter to these paradigms, an environmentally stressful edge can also be impacted by biotic interactions and are more complex than suggested.

Unveiling seasonal variability in Crassostrea tulipa larval dispersal in Gulf of Guinea coastal waters: foundations for sustainable shellfish farming

Frontiers in Marine Science
The coastal zone of the Gulf of Guinea holds significant natural potential for the production of the mangrove oyster Crassostrea tulipa. This study assessed the larval dispersal of C. tulipa in the Benin’s coastal lagoon.
