No evidence of sex-specific responses to chemosensory risk assessment cues in Harts rivulus

Author(s): Brusseau AJP; Synnott FD; Nagl A; Morris J; Mathis A; Ramnarine IW; Crane AL; Brown GE;

Males and females, especially in species with more pronounced sexual dimorphisms, may face very different trade-offs between detecting and avoiding predation threats and the need to court potential mates. Within aquatic ecosystems, the use of reliable publicly available chemosensory risk assessment cues allows prey to assess local threats and optimize the ...

Low levels of organization and consistency in the home in middle childhood predicts cortisol levels and internalizing symptoms 12 years later among the offspring of parents with bipolar disorder

Author(s): Ellenbogen MA; Serravalle L; Hodgins S; Walker CD; Walker EF;

The offspring of parents with bipolar disorder (OBD) are at high risk for developing affective disorders. Low levels of organization and consistency in the home (parenting structure) is associated with increased behavioral problems and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) reactivity in the OBD and thus may be an important developmental risk factor. We als ...

Artificial intelligence for marine oil spill management: Recent advances and future directions

Author(s): Wang Z; Huang Y; Zhang G; Wang Z; Chen Z; Mulligan CN; Li SS; Elektorowicz M; Li B; Lee K; An C;

Marine oil spills are one of the most severe anthropogenic threats to oceanic ecosystems, coastal communities, and global economic stability. While traditional monitoring and response approaches have played a foundational role in oil spill management, their effectiveness is often constrained by l ...

Quantitative modeling of nanoplastic accumulation from single-use water bottles: exposure scenarios and tissue concentration estimates

Author(s): Sajedi S; An C;

The widespread use of single-use plastic (SUP) water bottles has raised growing concerns about chronic human exposure to nanoplastics (NPs). This study presents a quantitative assessment of NP accumulation in human tissues resulting from the long-term consumption of SUP water bottles. Using survey-derived consumption data and the Human Exposure and Absorp ...

Nature vs nurture of glucose homeostasis trajectories in children from the ALSPAC study

Author(s): Gamache I; Fagbemi K; Harnois-Leblanc S; Greenwood CMT; Henderson M; Van Hulst A; Timpson NJ; Manousaki D;

Aims/hypothesis: Dysglycaemia in youth results from complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors, yet their individual and combined contributions remain unclear. We aimed to: (1) evaluate the predictive performance of polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for glycaemic traits from childh ...

Reliability and Validity of Risk Assessment Tools for Violent Extremism: A Systematic Review

Author(s): Brouillette-Alarie S; Hassan G; Varela W; Danis E; Ousman S; Madriaza P; Pauls IL; Kilinc D; Pickup D; Pelzer R; Borokhovski E;

Assessment of the risk of engaging in a violent radicalization/extremism trajectory has evolved quickly in the last 10 years. Guided by what has been achieved in psychology and criminology, scholars from the field of preventing violent extremism (PVE) have tried to import key lessons from violenc ...

Endangered species laws and the inclusion of Indigenous knowledges and sciences in risk assessments

Author(s): Grimm J; Soares BE; Zanjani LV; Ballard M; Chiblow S; Andrade RS; Duncan AT; Fraser DJ; Mandrak NE; Bernos TA;

Indigenous Peoples actively manage or have tenure rights over lands where many rare and valued species occur. To meet national and global conservation targets, it is important to meaningfully consider Indigenous knowledges and rights in endangered species laws. We examined whether the Canadian Sp ...

Biological sex and bilingualism: Its impact on risk and resilience for dementia

Author(s): Calvo N; Phillips N; Bialystok E; Einstein G;

Introduction: The relationship between biological sex, considered a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), and bilingualism, a resilience factor, is unclear. We assessed this relationship in 335 individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in a Canadian cohort. Methods: We used univariate analysis and structural equation modelling to study the ...

Contextual use of male-male social information by Trinidadian guppies

Author(s): Brusseau AJP; Dumaresq-Synnott F; Morris J; Nagl AC; Ramnarine IW; Crane AL; Brown GE;

Decision-making among prey often involves balancing fitness-related activities, such as foraging and mating, with the need to avoid predation. These trade-offs may be influenced by sex, especially among sexually dimorphic species where males and females face different selection pressures. Consistent with the 'Distracted Male Hypothesis', male Trin ...
