Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over

Waders in a sea of debris: a global overview

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The impact of plastic pollution on ecosystems and marine fauna is well documented, although research into its effects on waders (also known as shorebirds) remains limited. Given that waders are exposed to coastal marine litter, this exposure could be a significant factor in the decline of their populations. This study aims to assess the global

Leading the Loop: Anchor‐Led Orchestration in Nascent Circular Ecosystems—A Qualitative Case Study

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transition towards a circular economy necessitates coordinated, systemic change across value chains. Yet the role of anchor firms in initiating and orchestrating nascent circular ecosystems remains underexplored. Using an inductive, qualitative single‐case design, we analyse a German mid‐sized entrepreneurial firm, drawing on 21 interviews

Epigenome-wide association study for dilated cardiomyopathy in left ventricular heart tissue identifies putative gene sets associated with cardiac pathology and early indicators of cardiac risk

Clinical Epigenetics
Background Methylation changes linked to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) affect cardiac gene expression. We investigate DCM mechanisms regulated by CpG methylation using multi-omics and causal analyses in the largest cohort of left ventricular tissues ...

Change detection in SAR time-series based on the coefficient of variation

, 2019
This paper discusses change detection in SAR time-series. Firstly, several statistical properties of the coefficient of variation highlight its pertinence for change detection. Then several criteria are proposed. The coefficient of variation is suggested

Learning About and Learning From Sustainability Alliances: How Do SMEs Develop Dynamic Capabilities?

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) develop sustainability capabilities by engaging in sustainability alliances. By combining perspectives on organisational learning theory and the dynamic capabilities framework, the research investigates how SMEs develop both networking and sustainability capabilities across ...
