Reflooding the coupled human and natural system of the Waza-Logone Floodplain, Cameroon

Frontiers in Conservation Science
The rewilding framework is used to guide the restoration of ecological processes in natural systems, but the framework can also be used in the restoration of social and ecological processes in coupled human and natural systems.

From Lab to Landscape: Environmental Biohybrid Robotics for Ecological Futures

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This Perspective explores environmental biohybrid robotics, integrating living tissues, microorganisms, and insects for operation in real‐world ecosystems. It traces the leap from laboratory experiments to forests, wetlands, and urban environments and discusses key challenges, development pathways, and opportunities for ecological monitoring and ...

Reasons for admission and rehabilitation rates of various wildlife species in Finland

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Wildlife rehabilitation is a common part of animal-protection work. In Finland wildlife care is usually based on volunteer work and no licensing or training is required.

Adult Sex Ratio as a Demographic Feedback Linking Mating Systems, Parental Care, and Evolution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Breeding systems are some of the most diverse social behavior, and our team is investigation the evolutionary causes of this diversity. This review summarises our research carried out at the University of Bath. We argue that demographic components of wild populations, especially the adult sex ratio, plays a key role driving breeding system variation ...

CDK4/MERCs/PINK1 Axis Drives PFOA/HFPO‐TA‐Induced Cardiac Senescence via Mitophagy Defect and cGAS‐STING Activation: In Vitro Amelioration by Cycloastragenol

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The present study demonstrated that PFOA and HFPO‐TA exposure suppressed CDK4, disrupted MERCs and impaired PINK1/Parkin‐mediated mitophagy, thereby accelerating cardiac senescence, whereas CAG effectively reversed these pathological changes in vitro. Our findings identify CDK4 as a critical regulator bridging mitophagy defects and cardiac senescence ...

Counting animals in orthomosaics from aerial imagery: Challenges and future directions

Methods in Ecology and Evolution
The use of drones to survey and monitor wildlife populations has increased exponentially. A common protocol used for data collection is planning flights with substantial overlap between successive photographs and lateral lines and then creating ...

Reconceptualizing human-wildlife interaction places and bonds through ecopsychology: Healthy reciprocal relationships

Human-Animal Interactions
Human-wildlife interaction (HWI) places and bonds are often constructed on anthropocentric principles, which disregard wildlife agency and flourishing.

An assessment of forest loss and its drivers in protected areas on the Copperbelt province of Zambia: 1972–2016

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2022
In sub-Saharan Africa, protected areas provide a platform for conserving biodiversity. However, these areas are facing massive pressure due to deforestation, and information on forest dynamics and factors driving the changes in protected areas is ...

Magnetic Water Cleaning of Estrogens via Tight yet Dynamic Binding to Nanoparticles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Micropollution is one of the big challenges humanity faces with estrogen hormones being emerging pollutants of concern. Here, a supramolecular design strategy is presented that generates a simple nano‐adsorbent material to magnetically remove low‐concentrated estrogens from water.

Facilitating evolutionary rescue from a wildlife health threat with cross-sectoral strategies: a case study on white-nose syndrome

Ecology and Society
Evolutionary rescue, the ability of a species to evolve under new selective pressures and rebound from threats, occurs within a social-ecological system.
