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 ...

Development of a loop‐mediated isothermal amplification‐lateral flow dipstick (LAMP‐LFD) assay and on‐site rapid detection evaluation for Rodentibacter heylii and Rodentibacter pneumotropicus

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study established a closed‐tube LAMP‐LFD assay for detecting Rodentibacter heylii and Rodentibacter pneumotropicus. The method exhibited high sensitivity (detection limits of 10−5 ng/μL for R. heylii and 10−4 ng/μL for R. pneumotropicus), high specificity, reliable performance with clinical samples, and effective validation in experimental ...

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.

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

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.

Leveraging target enrichment and genome skimming (Hyb‐Seq) of herbarium collections to unlock timber DNA barcoding

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise DNA barcoding for timber species identification requires comprehensive reference datasets, informative DNA barcodes, and cost‐effective protocols. We developed a workflow leveraging Hyb‐Seq (target capture sequencing and genome skimming) to address these challenges, and we tested it on four genera from the mahogany family (Meliaceae ...

A Hybrid Approach for Geo-Referencing Tweets: Transformer Language Model Regression and Gazetteer Disambiguation

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information
Recent approaches to geo-referencing X posts have focused on the use of language modelling techniques that learn geographic region-specific language and use this to infer geographic coordinates from text.
