A framework for the ethical use of animal‐borne devices in post‐release monitoring following rehabilitation

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Rehabilitation and release contribute to conservation efforts for threatened species. Ensuring that these efforts are effective requires a good understanding of the factors which determine survival and integration of released animals into wild populations.

Opportunities and Alliances: The Relational Dynamics of Criminal Collusion in Latin America

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Based on ethnographic fieldwork in Mexico and judicial wiretap analysis in Argentina, this paper shows that collusion between state actors and violent non‐state actors operates through fluid and competitive relational networks rather than stable hierarchies or fixed institutional arrangements.

Enriching historical biologging datasets on seabirds using deep neural networks: A transformer‐based approach to infer energy expenditure proxy from GPS and environmental data

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent advances in biologging have led to the widespread use of accelerometers, which generate high‐resolution movement data essential for understanding animal behaviour. Derived from tri‐axial accelerometry, Overall Dynamic Body Acceleration (ODBA) serves as a proxy for energy expenditure that is less invasive and more cost‐effective than ...

Hooking efficiencies of SMART drumlines and their possible deployment rates vs gillnets for bather protection

Frontiers in Marine Science
IntroductionFor 87 years, gillnets have been deployed off up to 51 beaches in New South Wales, Australia, to reduce bites on humans by white (Carcharodon carcharias), bull (Carcharhinus leucas), and tiger (Galeocerdo cuvier) sharks. Recently, to minimise

Excessive dynamic airway collapse during general anesthesia: a case report

JA Clinical Reports, 2020
Background Excessive dynamic airway collapse (EDAC) is an uncommon cause of high airway pressure during mechanical ventilation. However, EDAC is not widely recognized by anesthesiologists, and therefore, it is often misdiagnosed as asthma.

Commercial treaties and political transformation in Sulu and Southeast Asian littorals, c. 1830–1840

Asia‐Pacific Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This article re‐examines an economic treaty concluded between Spain and the Sulu Sultanate in 1836. Analysing the Tausug (Jawi) and Spanish treaty versions alongside archival sources from Spain, the Philippines, and England, it traces the impact of indigenous agency beyond the formal signatories on economic and political transformations ...

Analysis of Cookiecutter shark Isistius spp. (Squaliformes; Dalatiidae) bites in cetaceans (Mammalia; Cetacea) on the Bahia coast, northeastern Brazil [PDF]

Biotemas, 2007
Few studies have registered signs of mutilation on cetaceans in Brazil, especially from shark attacks. This work describes interactions between cookiecutter sharks Isistius spp.

Evaluating synthetic substitutes to reduce illegal harvesting and support species recovery

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Providing synthetic substitutes is a widely promoted strategy to shift consumer demand away from wildlife products derived from threatened species. Yet, there is little evidence on whether product substitution prevents illegal or unsustainable harvesting and contributes to the recovery of threatened populations.
