Geographic risks to functional groups of mammals and birds from habitat loss in Mexico
Abstract There is a need to quantify the impact of habitat loss due to anthropogenic factors on different aspects of biodiversity, such as functional trait diversity represented by functional groups (FGs). We developed a metric to assess the weighted risk of loss of habitat for 33 FGs of mammals and 36 FGs of birds in Mexico based on potential ...

Vascularised Brain Organoids: Engineering Strategies and Neurobiological Applications
This review highlights emerging strategies to engineer vascularized brain organoids—including endothelial co‐culture, genetic induction, perfusion systems, and in vivo transplantation—and their applications in modelling neurovascular diseases, evaluating BBB drug delivery, and advancing regenerative medicine.

Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization
In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways of indirect effects: feedback loops.

The height at which epiphytic bromeliads are found affects the invertebrate community composition within them. The size of epiphytic bromeliads is positively correlated with species richness of both aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates. Whether bromeliads were found in primary or secondary forest did not have a significant effect on the community of ...

Using Eye Lens Stable Isotopes to Identify the Rearing Origin of Fall Age‐0 Walleye (Sander vitreus)
ABSTRACT Isotope values in fish eye lenses may be useful in differentiating rearing origins. We compared eye lens isotopic values of fall fingerling age‐0 walleye (Sander vitreus) reared in a hatchery pond, a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS), and a natural lake. Using 10 fish per rearing source, we delaminated layers from one eye lens per fish to

ABSTRACT Chinook salmon exhibit far‐flung and disparate population‐specific marine migrations that have made it difficult to assess their trophic ecology. In this study, we collected returning and resident subadult Fraser River Chinook salmon in 2018 and 2019 from population groups with different known run‐timings (spring, summer, and fall) and marine ...

Analysis of Sea Turtle Bycatch by Andalusia Pelagic Longline Fleet in the Northeast Atlantic
ABSTRACT The Northeast Atlantic is one of the most crucial foraging grounds for juvenile loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea), while also serving as an important fishing area for the Andalusia surface longline fishery. The main aim of present study is to assess the sea turtle interaction with the Andalusia pelagic

ABSTRACT Lepidocybium flavobrunneum [Smith, 1843], commonly known as escolar, is a large pelagic species, important for global and local fisheries, particularly in the southwestern South Atlantic Ocean (SWAO), where it constitutes a significant portion of the catch.

Toward a global repository of insect traits (GRIT)
Biodiversity loss is accelerating, yet insect conservation is hindered by the absence of a centralised, comprehensive trait database. We propose the GRIT, a FAIR, open‐access platform uniting datasets and collaborators worldwide. GRIT will harness advanced computational tools for trait acquisition and imputation, enabling large‐scale ecological ...
