Enhancing the vase life of cut roses through spectral optimisation during greenhouse cultivation
Here, we examined three red‐to‐blue (R:B) light emitting diode (LED) ratios (90:10, 80:20 and 70:30) in two cut rose cultivars. All treatments enhanced photosynthesis, with 90:10 showing the strongest effects—raising chlorophyll, carotenoids, anthocyanins and carbohydrate levels, and extending vase life by up to 30%.

Management of Agitation in Emergency Medical Services for Older Adults: A Qualitative Exploration
ABSTRACT Introduction Emergency medical services (EMS) providers are often first responders to agitated older adults, providing critical clinical care and transport. However, significant knowledge gaps persist in our understanding of agitation management for older adults in the prehospital setting.

Progress and Poverty: Walter Rodney's Legacy
ABSTRACT The conventional view of human progress states that the more humanity makes progress, the less poverty is entrenched. But, global development is currently characterized by a persistent combination of economic progress and growing relative poverty. This endemic inequality has puzzled economists for years.

Critical ‘Outsider’ Reflections on Research‐Initiated Pacific Partner Engagement
ABSTRACT Learning with Pacific stakeholders requires genuine people‐to‐people engagement and understanding of differing literacies and ways of being. Co‐learning is possible when people authentically meet in spaces of mutuality, such as those characterised by shared hospitality.

No easy exit: Negotiating affects and researcher self‐care in car ride‐alongs
Abstract This paper explores the affective realities of car ride‐alongs by examining the ways in which researchers might be affected in the process of doing such methods. While there is an ethic of care for research participants, which often emerges from the assumption that participants are vulnerable or can be made vulnerable by participating in ...

Mitigating light pollution impacts on arthropods based on light‐emitting diode properties
Abstract Light pollution from artificial light at night (ALAN) is a significant environmental problem with far‐reaching consequences for ecological systems. Recent innovations in light‐emitting diode (LED) technology may offer sustainable outdoor lighting solutions, but scientific evidence is lacking. We investigated the effects of various LED lighting

Yellow crazy ants (Anoplolepis gracilipes; YCA) are widespread invaders of islands across the Pacific and Indian Oceans. We investigated the ecological preferences and impacts of this species on a Polynesian atoll. We show that even at low abundances, this species can have important impacts on the fauna, including seabirds, and require management ...

Livingstone's fruit bat GPS tracks during day‐ and nighttime on Anjouan, Comoros, identifying likely feeding sites. Abstract The highly threatened Livingstone's fruit bat, Pteropus livingstonii, is endemic to only two islands of the Union of the Comoros, a country with some of the highest deforestation rates worldwide.

Strong diel variation in the activity of insect taxa sampled by Malaise traps
Malaise traps sampled different communities during mornings (06:00–12:00), afternoons (12:00–16:00), evenings (18:00–22:00), and nights (22:00–06:00), highlighting the difference in diel rhythm between taxa. The highest diversity and abundance of insects were found during afternoons, the lowest diversity during night, and the lowest abundance during ...

Factors Influencing the Stocking of Juvenile Pikeperch (Sander lucioperca)
ABSTRACT Predator species of fish play crucial roles in ecosystem balance through top‐down control, a mechanism frequently exploited in biomanipulation to stock predator species. Juvenile pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) were stocked (n = 52,887) in spring 2023 and 2024 and autumn 2023 to compare stocking efficiency between Recirculation Aquaculture ...
