Lessons from an eradication under multiple constraints of an island rat population of record density

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Invasive rats threaten island biodiversity, disrupting ecosystems and endangering native species. Although rat eradication has succeeded on many islands, tropical islands present unique management challenges. Strict regulations and financial constraints on some tropical islands further limit proven eradication methods, complicating rodent ...

Defining and identifying relevant stakeholders to advance effective conservation

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
The challenge of defining stakeholders in environmental science and an approach for refining existing definitions. Abstract Stakeholder is a contested term that has spawned a multitude of ad hoc definitions. The ambiguity of these definitions has oftentimes impeded transdisciplinary research in environmental governance and conservation science because ...

How a Traveling Exhibition on Wasps Altered Public Perceptions

open access: yesCurator: The Museum Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Media portrays a caricature of the “evil” wasp (a flying insect), perpetuating fears developed at a young age or from individual negative experiences. Because wasps are critically important to nature and our agriculture, it is important to provide some form of education to lessen this fear.

Hepatic and abdominal adiposity in type 2 diabetes as assessed with machine learning on computed tomography scans

open access: yesDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims The combined assessment of multiple abdominal imaging traits in relation to type 2 diabetes remains incompletely characterised. The study examines these relationships on computed tomography (CT) scans from a large‐scale, racially diverse, disease‐focused medical biobank.

Extracellular matrix and proteolysis: mechanisms driving irreversible changes and shaping cell behavior

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Irreversible ECM proteolysis by remodeling enzymes shapes development, homeostasis, and disease. ECM‐degrading proteases display cell specificity and are governed by shared mechanisms, exhibiting functional redundancy in generating matrikines, growth factors, and cytokines.

Human IDO2 exhibits unique binding affinities distinct to those of human IDO1

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Although indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase 2 (IDO2) is highly homologous to IDO1, it displays markedly lower catalytic activity. We found that IDO2 binds L‐tryptophan (L‐Trp) in a flipped orientation stabilized by the IDO2‐specific residue His143. Replacement of His143 with the IDO1‐equivalent tyrosine restored an IDO1‐like binding mode and increased ...

Using Catch Data to Estimate Changes in Global Commercial Abalone Abundance

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Changes in global wild capture production of abalone are explored to infer potential changes in biological stocks. The study found that 77% (or 10 out of the 13) of the countries that reportedly caught abalone in the wild have experienced declines in catches between 1980 and 2023, and on aggregate catch declined by almost 83% between 1980 and ...
