Keystone Predation: What Is It, and Is It Supported by Empirical Evidence?

Ecology and Evolution
Keystone predation is the process whereby a predator indirectly facilitates weak competitors by preferentially consuming strong competitors, often affecting local diversity.

Exposure‐adjusted safety and efficacy of GLP‐I and GLP‐1/GIP receptor agonists compared with non‐GLP‐I for weight management and type 2 diabetes: Based on FDA medical and statistical reports of 34 280 safety and 36 312 efficacy subjects

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims This work aimed to contextualize glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1 RAs) and glucose‐dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonists safety and efficacy regarding weight management (WM); we analysed Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Medical Reviews to analyse 14 medications using patient‐exposure year normalization and ...

Characteristics and temporal trends of EU teratological safety signals and information dissemination to healthcare professionals in the Netherlands—A contribution of the ConcePTION project

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Although regulatory responses to safety signals have been studied, pregnancy‐specific data and their dissemination to medical professionals remain unclear. This study examined the characteristics and temporal trends of teratological safety signals prompting the European Medicines Agency to implement risk minimization measures.

Publicly funded private schools and academic achievement: A comparative analysis of PISA data in European countries

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper analyses differences in academic achievement associated with attendance at publicly funded private schools and public schools across 11 European countries. Using eight waves of PISA data (2000–2022), we apply OLS, IPW and IPWRA estimators to account for observed heterogeneity and mitigate selection bias.

Behavioral trade‐offs and multitasking by elk in relation to predation risk from Mexican gray wolves

Ecology and Evolution
Predator non‐consumptive effects (NCE) can alter prey foraging time and habitat use, potentially reducing fitness. Prey can mitigate NCEs by increasing vigilance, chewing‐vigilance synchronization, and spatiotemporal avoidance of predators. We quantified

A curated review of ESA publications for teaching ecology

The Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, EarlyView.
Abstract Since the early 1990s, the Ecological Society of America's journals have published hundreds of articles of direct relevance to those who teach ecology—especially at the undergraduate level. In an effort to draw attention to that literature, we conducted an analysis to identify well‐cited articles, as well as those that may be underrecognized ...

Density Estimates of Endangered Endemic Rodents Suggest Broader Impacts of Invasive Burmese Pythons Following a Category 4 Hurricane in the Florida Keys

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
Density estimates of two endangered rodent subspecies, endemic to Key Largo, Florida, USA. These findings illustrate the contrasting dynamics of two native species associated with the prevalence of invasive Burmese pythons and global change. The woodrats' decline emphasizes its potential risk of extinction as global change continues to impact island ...

Placental crises: disruptive selection and maternal under‐investment as the foundations of mammalian placental evolution and dysfunction

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Among the vertebrates, mammals are notable for the dominance of live birth and placental nutrition. The structural diversity of the mammalian placenta is remarkable, despite sharing a single common ancestor and conserved physiological functions.

Spatial metrics in fire ecology: seeking consistency amidst complexity

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Technological advances, including remote sensing, have led to a proliferation of metrics used in ecological studies to examine spatial patterns of fire regimes and their ecological effects. Researchers can use many different metrics to analyse spatial variation in both fire events and resulting fire regimes, including fire size, shape ...
