Extinction Debt Paid Off: The Demise of the European Polecat (Mustela putorius) in NE Iberia

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We studied a vanishing polecat population for a decade, until its ultimate demise, using camera trap and roadkill data, landscape descriptors and dietary and toxicological analyses.Polecat favoured farmland and avoided forests and water bodies occupied by the invasive American mink.

Warm Spring Weather Alters Calling Phenology of Four Sympatric Early‐Breeding Anurans

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
An unusually warm March in 2024 (“false spring”) followed by freezing temperatures allowed us to assess the impact of a weather event on an amphibian community. The calling activity of all four species was associated with increasing temperature, and the first date of calling was advanced by 11–18 days.

Symmetric and asymmetric deformation from plate-margin orogeny to intracontinental tectonics: formation mechanisms of lithospheric tectonic vergence

Dizhi lixue xuebao
Objective  Tectonic vergence records the geometric asymmetry and kinematic directionality of shortening during orogenic thickening and provides a key link between surface deformation and lithospheric-scale geodynamics. Although vergence is widely used in

Commercial treaties and political transformation in Sulu and Southeast Asian littorals, c. 1830–1840

Asia‐Pacific Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This article re‐examines an economic treaty concluded between Spain and the Sulu Sultanate in 1836. Analysing the Tausug (Jawi) and Spanish treaty versions alongside archival sources from Spain, the Philippines, and England, it traces the impact of indigenous agency beyond the formal signatories on economic and political transformations ...

The dual crisis: Climate change simultaneously drives pollinator decline and pest outbreaks

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Climate change acts as an asymmetric ecological filter, favouring r‐selected pest traits (rapid reproduction, generalism) while disadvantaging K‐selected pollinators. For every 1°C of warming, bee species richness declines ~25% since the 1990s, while pest‐induced crop losses increase by 10%–25%. A network‐centric approach integrating climate‐responsive

Interaction between Accommodation and Vergence on Distance Perception

i-Perception, 2011
Fisher and Ciuffreda (1988) and Mon-Williams and Tresilian (1999) reported that, without vergence cue, diopter change in accommodation induced change in apparent distance. Meanwhile, there is conflicting evidence about the relative roles of accommodation

Impact of Metformin and Diabetes on Tumor Response to Total Neoadjuvant Therapy in Advanced Rectal Cancer: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study

Asia-Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology, EarlyView.
In advanced rectal cancer patients receiving total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT), overall tumor response did not differ by diabetes status or metformin use. However, among diabetic patients, metformin use was associated with higher overall complete response rates. These findings suggest a potential benefit of metformin in enhancing TNT response in diabetic

Addressing inequities in the design and delivery of prehabilitation in the UK: case studies of challenges, complexities and good practice*

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Prehabilitation has become increasingly prominent in the context of cancer surgery. While prehabilitation offers significant benefits, it can also inadvertently broaden inequalities because it is often more accessible to some than others.

Long‐term insights: Seven years of conservative management for deep endometriosis in the bowel

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Long‐term conservative management of bowel endometriosis can maintain stable symptoms and sustained quality of life. Those who need surgery tend to have more severe pain, larger nodules, and a lower quality of life. Abstract Introduction Deep endometriosis (DE) involving the bowel presents a complex management challenge.

Dissociate triggering of conjunctive and disjunctive eye movements

Scientific Reports
In natural behavior, our eyes must coordinate two types of movements when looking between points in space: conjunctive movements (where both eyes move together) and disjunctive movements (where the eyes move in opposite direction to change their ...
