An Evaluation of the Distance at Which Direct Ecological Effects of Released Pheasants Extend Beyond Their Release Sites

Ecology and Evolution
In the UK, large numbers of pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) are released into woodlands annually for recreational hunting. Post‐release, they are managed to keep them in areas where they can be shot from October to January.

African elephant reintegration from captivity to wild living: quantifying the detailed behavioural changes

Pachyderm
There is increasing evidence of compromised welfare for captive African savannah elephants managed in confined spaces. With the trend for zoos and captive facilities to close due to public pressure, reflecting ethical concerns,  and thier limited ...

Dual‐Peptide Nanoplatform: Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles Functionalized With a Cell‐Penetrating Peptide and Loaded With Rationally Designed Antimicrobial Peptides for Tuberculosis Therapy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Machine learning–guided engineering of a plectasin‐derived peptide yields DC05, a potent antimycobacterial candidate. Encapsulation into tuftsin‐functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles enhances intracellular delivery, stability, and activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis while maintaining low cytotoxicity and minimal hemolysis. The combined

Discriminating strategic reciprocity and acquired trust in the repeated trust-game [PDF]

In repeated trust-game offers made by investors can be attributed to strategic reciprocation-based behavior. However, when a trustee is loyal, personal trust can build up between players, in the same way that lack of positive reciprocation on the part of

Why Trust Out-groups? The Role of Punishment Under Uncertainty [PDF]

, 2018
We conducted a hidden-effort trust game, in which we assigned subjects to one of two groups. The groups, which were formed through two different group formation processes, included a “social” group that required sharing and exchange among its members ...

Digital Trust Games: An Experimental Study

, 2011
An experimental study of the digital trust game in [2] is presented. The study consists of an initial survey followed by a four-part dynamic experiment investigating various aspects of digital trust decisions. Digital trust in online environments differs from its offline variants due to its unique characteristics such as near instantaneous ...

Flash Assembloids: A Rapid Biofabrication of a Platform for Modeling Early Glioblastoma Invasion at the Glioblastoma–Brain Organoid Interfaces

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a bioengineered assembloid (ASM) system combining glioblastoma (GBM) cells in oxidized alginate (OA) microgels with dorsal organoids (DOs). This model simulates brain tumor‐host interactions, revealing enhanced GBM invasion, altered gene expression, and aggressive infiltration patterns, demonstrating ASM as a valuable platform for ...

Deep learning models used to detect fish movement over resistivity counters

Ecological Informatics
Diadromous fish are one of the most threatened groups of fish species, being subject to pressures from freshwater, estuarine and marine environments. Of these fish, Atlantic salmon is the most economically important and increasingly threatened. To assess

Learning to trust strangers: an evolutionary perspective [PDF]

What if living in a relatively trustworthy society was sufficient to blindly trust strangers? In this paper we interpret generalized trust as a learning process and analyse the trust game paradox in light of the replicator dynamics.
