Beyond Skin and Eyes: The Medical and Social Burden of Oculocutaneous Albinism in Africa: A Narrative Review

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a genetic disorder found worldwide, but its impact is particularly pronounced in the African continent. This results from both a higher prevalence and the persistent myths and superstitions surrounding the condition in many African communities.

On the ecology of a tropical fish community

Sri Lanka has more than 12.000 artificial reservoirs and no natural lakes as is true for many other areas in SE Asia. These reservoirs cover a total surface area of around 175.000 ha. They are shallow with maximum depths often less than 5 m and exhibit considerable fluctuations in water level.

Resilience Pathways for Land Degradation Neutrality: How Informal Institutions Shape Community Land Governance Across the Global South

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A decade after Land Degradation Neutrality was incorporated into Sustainable Development Goal 15.3, implementation outcomes across the Global South remain uneven. Mainstream commons research identifies recurring institutional features, whereas critical institutionalism emphasizes their adaptive assembly; both traditions increasingly recognize ...

Topographic and Climatic Determinants of Soil Organic Carbon Across Landscapes: A Meta‐Analysis

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The soil is the greatest natural store of organic carbon, holding between 1500 to 1550 Pg C of organic carbon at the top 100 cm of the soil globally—roughly twice the carbon pool in the atmosphere. The spatial distribution of this stock is controlled by a complex chain of controls: topographic position regulates the hydrological redistribution,

Improving Soil Health and Crop Yields Through Conservation Agriculture and Nutrient Management in Central India

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Maintaining soil health and crop productivity in the semi‐arid Vertisols of central India poses a significant challenge under intensive agricultural practices. This 6‐year field study assessed the combined impact of different tillage methods, maize‐based crop rotations, and nitrogen management on soil's physical, chemical, and biological ...

Aerial Seeding for Forest and Landscape Restoration: A Systematic Review of Technology, Challenges, and Future Directions

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land degradation is a critical global challenge, threatening biodiversity, food security, and livelihoods. Ecological restoration has therefore become a priority, with aerial seeding emerging as a key method to address issues of scale, accessibility, and efficiency. By dispersing seeds from aircraft or drones, aerial seeding complements ground‐

Is DNA metabarcoding an option for formaldehyde‐preserved zooplankton time series?

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract The recovery of amplifiable DNA from formaldehyde‐fixed (FF) zooplankton samples has long been considered problematic, but advances in degraded‐DNA retrieval have renewed interest in FF samples. To access the information stored in long‐term zooplankton time series, we evaluated methods for extracting amplifiable DNA from community samples ...
