Behavioral interventions to reduce demand for threatened freshwater turtles as pets

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Growing demand for freshwater turtles as pets has fueled illegal trade and accelerated wild population declines, underscoring the need for theory‐based demand‐reduction interventions. We conducted a three‐part randomized controlled trial with active turtle keepers (n = 1800) in China to test conservation‐ and legality‐framed messages by ...

Importance of using genetic data to inform conservation captive breeding: A tale of two species of threatened macaws (Ara spp.)

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Unmanaged captive populations of threatened species often harbor hidden genetic risks, so using genomic tools, we audited a large private macaw collection and uncovered extensive hybridization and high inbreeding. Our findings provide an actionable framework for how routine genetic screening can be used to mitigate these risks, manage captive breeding ...

Genetic and Clinical Determinants of Variation in Drug Response in Type 2 Diabetes: Insights From the Scottish and UK Biobank Cohorts

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Treatment response in type 2 diabetes (T2D) varies widely among individuals. This study aimed to quantify the contributions of clinical characteristics and genetic predisposition as measured through partitioned polygenic risk scores (pPRS) to variation in glycemic response to glucose‐lowering therapies.

Nutritional Stress Modulates Developmental Thresholds in a Male Dimorphic Mite

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Global warming can alter nutrition during development, but whether this affects phenotype expression solely through changes in condition or also through developmental decision‐making remains unclear. In the male‐dimorphic bulb mite Rhizoglyphus robini, nutritional stress shifted the developmental threshold for fighter versus scrambler expression and ...

Microbiome‐mediated immunity: Limited support from the gazelle dung beetle

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Digitonthophagus gazella rely on a maternally inherited microbiome passed across generations via a maternal faecal pellet called the pedestal. We experimentally manipulated the presence of the pedestal, providing it to some individuals while withholding it from others to determine how pedestal microbiota may affect beetle immune potential.
