Firearm carrying practices and motivations: A mixed methods study among adults and youth

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The purpose of this participatory action, mixed methods research study was to identify motivations related to firearm carrying from a qualitative perspective, and then to use quantitative research to characterize the patterns of motivations around carrying.

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.

Potential risk zone for anthropogenic mortality of carnivores in Gandaki Province, Nepal

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Anthropogenic pressures in human‐dominated landscapes often contribute to wildlife mortality. Carnivores are especially vulnerable to human‐induced mortality due to the perceived threat to livestock and humans.

Additives Enhancing Biodegradability in Plastics and Potential Implications for Textiles: A Mechanistic Review

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Mechanistic insights from additive‐assisted plastic degradation guide the design of environmentally adaptive textile fibers. Functional additives enhance oxidative, hydrolytic, enzymatic, and microbial degradation pathways. Translating these strategies requires control of fiber architecture, additive distribution, and environmental interactions ...

Enabling the study of gene function in gymnosperms: Virus‐induced gene silencing in Ephedra tweedieana

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise As the sister clade to angiosperms, extant gymnosperms are crucial for reconstructing ancestral gene regulatory networks in seed plants. This highlights the need for model systems representing each of their distinct lineages. However, tools to quickly and effectively investigate gene function in gymnosperms are still limited due to the

Traumatic Oral Lesions in Loggerhead Sea Turtles (Caretta caretta) Linked to Polychaete (Laetmonice cf. hystrix) Ingestion: A Case Report from the Northern Adriatic Sea

Animals
Oral cavity lesions in sea turtles, particularly Caretta caretta, are relatively rare, and are typically linked to infectious agents as well as anthropogenic factors, including ingestion of marine debris or fishing gear.

An innovative temporary escape ramp for deer and other wildlife

California Fish and Wildlife Journal, 2021
Concrete-lined water conveyance canals can be a significant source of mortality for ungulates and other wildlife, which can drown or become entrapped. Various types of wildlife escape structures have been deployed in canals with limited success.
