Using value of information in recovery planning for imperiled species

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Conservation planning often employs predictive models to prioritize alternative actions, but uncertainty related to lack of data or uncertainty in the influence of global change may erode confidence in predictions. Managers must choose between investing time and money to gather more information, or implementing conservation actions immediately, despite

Fetish markets and feathers: Analyzing a growing threat to biodiversity in Africa

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This study investigates the composition and drivers of bird species traded in the Lomé fetish market, one of West Africa's largest belief‐based use wildlife markets. Field surveys conducted between 2022 and 2024 reveal a marked increase in market volume and avian species diversity over time, including many CITES‐listed birds.

An update on hatchery success of olive ridley turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) at Playa San Miguel, Costa Rica

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This study aims to elucidate and update the impacts of nest temperatures and rainfall on the San Miguel olive ridley hatchery success from 2019 to 2022 sea turtle seasons. Nest sand temperatures significantly affect nest failures (Estimate = 0.123 ± 0.059 SE, z = 2.088, p = .037) while nesting seasons also significantly affect nest failures with lower ...

Corpses as Repositories of Information and Funerals as Information Centres: Why Natural Selection Favours the Bereaved

Ethology, EarlyView.
Corpses are repositories of information about the cause of death. The distress of the bereaved acts as an honest signal drawing conspecifics to the body, enabling them to learn quickly about the death, adapt their behaviour, and spread knowledge of threats across multiple social levels.

European Ends, National Means: State Aid and the Unfinished Constitution of EU Industrial Policy

European Law Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reimagining State Aid argues that Article 107 TFEU no longer describes what State aid control does and proposes amendments to recalibrate and narrow the notion of aid, modernise the compatibility grounds and expressly ground Commission frameworks in Article 108. This comment shares the diagnosis but disputes its cause, and thus the cure.

Breaking the ice: multiple origins of ice‐binding/antifreeze proteins

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Ice‐binding proteins (IBPs) evolved independently in many organisms during Cenozoic cooling and glaciation. In flounders, α‐helical IBPs evolved from an antiviral protein, while similar IBPs arose independently from different progenitors in three other fish lineages.

Shareholder Activism: Affliction for Incumbent CEOs?

Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study how shareholder activism shapes CEO careers by distinguishing between two competing hypotheses: discipline and reallocation. Employing a control function approach with expected mutual fund fire sales and purchases as exclusion restrictions, we analyze 3799 US campaigns from 2006 to 2018.

Using Catch Data to Estimate Changes in Global Commercial Abalone Abundance

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Changes in global wild capture production of abalone are explored to infer potential changes in biological stocks. The study found that 77% (or 10 out of the 13) of the countries that reportedly caught abalone in the wild have experienced declines in catches between 1980 and 2023, and on aggregate catch declined by almost 83% between 1980 and ...
