How Do We Measure and Increase Systems Thinking? Comparing Self‐Reported and Performative Metrics in Response to Building Causal Loop Models

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Systems thinking is a mindset and skill essential to understanding and addressing complex challenges. However, increasing and measuring systems thinking is difficult. In this research, we compared multiple approaches to measuring systems thinking, including self‐reported measures of a systems thinking mindset and performative measures of ...

Exploring the Impact of Polystyrene Microplastic Beads on Male Gonads of the Marine Mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plastic, with its remarkable versatility and numerous applications, has greatly benefited humanity. However, its extreme resistance to natural degradation means it persists in the environment for long periods, causing global environmental problems.

Effects of Glyphosate on the Planktonic Microbiota: An Experimental Approach

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glyphosate is one of the most widely used herbicides in the world, including in Brazil, and its dispersion through habitats and surface waters can impact entire aquatic ecosystems. However, experimental studies evaluating the effects of pesticides on whole planktonic communities, considering attributes such as richness, density and composition—

Organic and Inorganic Pollutants, Oxidative Stress Biomarkers, and Electrophoretic Protein Profiles in an Endangered Thresher Shark (Alopias vulpinus) From Southeastern Brazil: A Case Study

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A comprehensive screening of different environmental contaminants (total metals, thermostable metal fractions associated with detoxification, and persistent organic pollutants) was conducted in an endangered common thresher shark (Alopias vulpinus ) individual incidentally captured in southeastern Brazil.

Exploring Interactive Effects of Arsenic and Selenium Exposure on Larval Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arsenic contamination in aquatic ecosystems is a major environmental concern. Selenium (Se) helps mitigate oxidative stress and hence could reduce the toxic effects of arsenic. However, Se can also be toxic at high concentrations. Given that these metalloids commonly co‐occur in the environment, there is a pressing need for further research ...

Unraveling the impact of dog‐friendly spaces on urban–wildland pumas and other wildlife

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As the most widespread large carnivore on the planet, domestic dogs Canis lupus familiaris can pose a major threat to wildlife, even within protected areas (PAs). Growing human presence in PAs, coupled with increasing pet dog ownership underscores the urgency to understand the influence of dogs on wildlife activity and health.

Ontogeny of foraging behaviour in an opportunistic gull inhabiting urban marine ecosystems

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urbanization affects ecosystems by reducing biodiversity and displacing species from native habitats. While some suffer, others, like urban wildlife, adapt through innovative feeding and behaviours that improve their fitness in human‐altered settings. Despite research on wildlife in urban areas, the development of foraging behaviour in urban species is
