Characterising fine‐scale habitat associations for range expanding species with limited data: a case study on the West Nile Virus vector, Culex modestus

Oikos, EarlyView.
The ecological and epidemiological consequences of species expanding into new areas are growing concomitantly with climate change. Those aiming to monitor species expanding in range must make optimal use of finite resources to deliver effective surveillance capable of detecting new incursions and range expansions.

A Narrative Review of Syphilis Notification Systems in Korea: Change to Mandatory Surveillance System [PDF]

Urogenital Tract Infection
New cases of syphilis are clearly showing an increasing trend worldwide. However, in a sentinel surveillance system, the collection of information on disease outbreaks is limited, making it difficult to understand the overall outbreak situation and ...

Transforming a Poaching Hotspot: Embedded NGO Governance Between State and Community in Southern China

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines how a local environmental NGO in southern China transformed Guantouling Hill, once a prominent poaching hotspot along the East Asian–Australasian Flyway, into a recognised model of community‐based biodiversity conservation.

Controlling banana bunchy top disease in Benin: Crop protection strategies with socio‐economic perspectives

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Banana and plantain are vital for food security and income in West Africa, yet banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) threatens production. This study combined remote sensing, field surveys, modelling and socio‐economic analysis to assess BBTV spread and control strategies in Benin.

Disease control in oilseed rape: Current insights and perspectives for next‐generation integrated pest management

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Winter oilseed rape in Europe suffers frequent pathogen losses. This review outlines key integrated pest management (IPM) strategies, rotation, residue and tillage management, optimized sowing, resistance, and targeted fungicides supported by forecasting.

Improved malaria case management through the implementation of a health facility-based sentinel site surveillance system in Uganda.

PLoS ONE, 2011
BackgroundHeath facility-based sentinel site surveillance has been proposed as a means of monitoring trends in malaria morbidity but may also provide an opportunity to improve malaria case management.

Monitoring feral pigs (Sus scrofa): Complementarity between autonomous sensing methods increases detection probability

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Invasive alien species are a major threat for biodiversity worldwide and effective monitoring is paramount to inform management. In this study we used a multi‐season occupancy model to assess probability of detection between camera traps and passive acoustic recorders for feral pigs (Sus scrofa) during 1 year of data collection.

Geometric Characterization of LEO–GEO Inter‐Satellite Links for Bidirectional Communications

International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Incorporating geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO) and low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites can extend communication services far beyond the reach of terrestrial infrastructure. A key enabler of such architectures is the establishment of inter‐satellite links (ISLs) between LEOs and GEOs to support bidirectional communications.

Endocytosis‐independent cytosolic entry of messenger RNA via fluorous bilayer zippering attenuating Toll‐like receptor signaling and enables ischemic tissue salvage

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
The present study establishes a paradigm shift in synthetic mRNA delivery through the convergence of three orthogonal chemistries—perfluoro‐acylation, bio‐orthogonal click cross‐linking, and disulfide reduction—within a single, modular polymer architecture. Abstract A fundamental constraint of conventional messenger RNA (mRNA) delivery systems is their

Presence of Nationally Banned Carbamates and Organophosphate Pesticides in Wild Carnivores, Southeastern Brazil

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As top predators, terrestrial carnivores face great risk of pesticide exposure and serve as sentinels of environmental contamination. Additionally, terrestrial carnivores are frequently threatened by intentional or secondary poisoning with highly toxic compounds, such as carbamates and organophosphates.
