CITES Appendix III: An underused tool for international wildlife trade regulation

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Appendix III of CITES allows Parties to unilaterally extend domestic species protections to international trade, yet it remains vastly underused, covering just 1.3% of listed species. Drawing on the complete historical record since 1975, we show that Appendix III is most effective for endemic species and functions as a highly successful staging ...

Networking Alone? Digital Communications and Collective Action in Vietnam

Journal of Current Southeast Asian Affairs, 2015
This article explores the potential for the formation of collective action in Vietnam. Referring to land and labour protests, bauxite mining, anti-China demonstrations, as well as the revision of the 1992 Constitution, the article examines the social ...

RST Resilient Watermarking Scheme Based on DWT-SVD and Scale-Invariant Feature Transform

Algorithms, 2017
Currently, most digital image watermarking schemes are affected by geometric attacks like rotation, scaling, and translation (RST). In the watermark embedding process, a robust watermarking scheme is proposed against RST attacks.

A First Indication That Rainforest Vine Proliferation Does Not Enhance Predator–Prey Interactions on the Forest Floor

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Vine proliferation is a widespread consequence of tropical forest disturbance, yet its effects on ground‐level predator–prey interactions remain poorly understood. Using plasticine caterpillars deployed on the rainforest floor in north Queensland, Australia, we show that overall predation rates were unaffected by vine‐to‐tree ratio. Instead, fine‐scale

The sorting nexin Snx21 promotes flotillin‐mediated endocytosis

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In this study, we describe a novel function of the previously uncharacterized Snx21 protein as a specific positive regulator of flotillin‐mediated endocytic trafficking. Snx21 is recruited to endosomal membranes via binding to PI(3)P, and it colocalizes with flotillins on the surface of late endosomes.

When Leadership Is Denied: A Phenomenological Study of Women's Lived Experiences of Promotion Rejection in the Pakistani Fashion Industry

Gender, Work &Organization, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the growing presence of women in creative and leadership roles within the fashion industry, many continue to face barriers to leadership progression. Leadership rejection remains a critical yet underexplored experience that can significantly affect women's professional identity and aspirations.

Empirical comparison of dependency conversions for RST discourse trees

SIGDIAL Conference, 2016
Two heuristic rules that transform Rhetor-ical Structure Theory discourse trees into discourse dependency trees (DDTs) have recently been proposed (Hirao et al., 2013; Li et al., 2014), but these rules derive significantly different DDTs because their ...

Evaluating Selection Strategies Based on Inbreeding Load via Simulation

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Inbreeding load is the fraction of the mutation load that is due to recessive action of mutations. This load is only expressed in individual's inbred offspring. As such, inbreeding load contributes to genetic heterogeneity among individuals and can thus be used as a criterion of selection.

Do the biological characteristics of trout (Salmo trutta) smolts influence their spring migration timing and maiden marine sojourn duration?

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Anadromous salmonids migrate seaward to exploit feeding and growth opportunities in marine habitats, yet how smolt biological characteristics influence their marine migratory behavior remains poorly understood. This study used 9 years of trout (Salmo trutta) population monitoring data from 15,595 tagged age‐0+ parr, 1033 smolts detected ...

Microanatomical features of bovids long bones: What are the effects of mass and habitat?

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study provides the first qualitative and quantitative exploration of inter‐bones and interspecific variations in the microanatomy of long bones in bovids in response to significant changes in body mass and habitat. Abstract Bovids are a valuable group for studying limb long bone adaptations due to differences in size and the environment that the ...
