Scaling up gas and electric cooking in low- and middle-income countries: Climate threat or mitigation strategy with co-benefits?
<p>Nearly three billion people in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) rely on polluting fuels, resulting in millions of avoidable deaths annually. Polluting fuels also emit short-lived climate forcers and greenhouse gases (GHGs). Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and grid-based electricity are scalable alternatives to polluting fuels but have raised climate and health concerns. Here, we compare emissions and climate impacts of a business-as-usual household cooking fuel trajectory to four large-scale transitions to gas and/or grid electricity in 77 LMICs. We account for upstream and end-use emissions from gas and electric cooking, assuming electrical grids evolve according to the 2022 World Energy Outlook's "Stated Policies" Scenario. We input the emissions into a reduced-complexity climate model to estimate radiative forcing and temperature changes associated with each scenario. We find full transitions to LPG and/or electricity decrease emissions from both well-mixed GHG and short-lived climate forcers, resulting in a roughly 5 millikelvin global temperature reduction by 2040. Transitions to LPG and/or electricity also reduce annual emissions of PM2.5 by over 6 Mt (99%) by 2040, which would substantially lower health risks from Household Air Pollution.</p>
Immediate and long-term genetic consequences of linear transport infrastructure: Can fauna crossing mitigate its cost?
<p><span>The genetic consequences of the subdivision of populations are regarded as significant to long-term evolution, and research has shown that the scale and speed at which this is now occurring is critically reducing the adaptive potential of most species which inhabit human-impacted landscapes. Here, we provide a rare, and to our knowledge, the first analysis of this process while it is happening and demonstrate a method of evaluating the effect of mitigation measures such as fauna crossings. We did this by using an extensive genetic dataset collected from a koala population which was intensely monitored during the construction of linear transport infrastructure which resulted in the subdivision of their population. First, we found that both allelic richness and effective population size decreased through the process of population subdivision. Second, we predicted the extent to which genetic drift could impact genetic diversity over time and showed that after only 10 generations the resulting two subdivided populations could experience between 12–69% loss in genetic diversity. Lastly, using forward simulations we estimated that a minimum of 8 koalas would need to disperse from each side of the subdivision per generation to maintain genetic connectivity close to zero but that 16 koalas would ensure that both genetic connectivity and diversity remained unchanged. </span><span>These results have important consequences for the genetic management of species in human-impacted landscapes by showing which genetic metrics are best to identify immediate loss in genetic diversity and how to evaluate the effectiveness of any mitigation measures.</span></p>
Macroeconomic Impact of Ebola outbreaks in SSA and potential mitigation of GDP loss with prophylactic vaccination programs
<p>Introduction: Decisions about prevention of and response to Ebola outbreaks require an understanding of the macroeconomic implications of these interventions. Prophylactic vaccines hold promise to mitigate the negative economic impacts of infectious disease outbreaks. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between outbreak size and economic impact among countries with recorded Ebola outbreaks and to quantify the hypothetical benefits of prophylactic Ebola vaccination interventions in these outbreaks.</p> <p>Methods: The synthetic control method was used to estimate the causal impacts of Ebola outbreaks on per capita gross domestic product (GDP) of five countries in sub-Saharan Africa that have previously experienced Ebola outbreaks between 2000 and 2016, where no vaccines were deployed. Using illustrative assumptions about vaccine coverage, efficacy, and protective immunity, the potential economic benefits of prophylactic Ebola vaccination were estimated using the number of cases in an outbreak as a key indicator.</p> <p>Results: The impact of Ebola outbreaks on the macroeconomy of the selected countries led to a decline in GDP of up to 36%, which was greatest in the third year after the onset of each outbreak and increased exponentially with the size of outbreak (i.e., number of reported cases). Over three years, the aggregate loss estimated for Sierra Leone from its 2014-2016 outbreak is estimated at 16.1 billion International$. Prophylactic vaccination could have prevented up to 89% of an outbreak’s negative impact on GDP, reducing the outbreak’s impact to as little as 1.6% of GDP lost. </p> <p>Conclusion: This study supports the case that macroeconomic returns are associated with prophylactic Ebola vaccination. Our findings support recommendations for prophylactic Ebola vaccination as a core component of prevention and response measures for global health security. </p>

Data and code for "Competitive hierarchies in bryozoan assemblages mitigate network instability by keeping short and long feedback loops weak"
<p>This repository contains all scripts and data files to reproduce the analysis of the manuscript "Competitive hierarchies in bryozoan assemblages mitigate network instability by keeping short and long feedback loops weak"</p> <p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p>Competitive hierarchies in diverse ecological communities have long been thought to lead to instability and prevent coexistence. However, system stability has never been tested and the relation between hierarchy and instability has never been explained in complex competition networks parameterised with data from direct observation. Here we test model stability of 30 multispecies bryozoan assemblages, using estimates of energy loss from observed interference competition to parameterise both the inter- and intraspecific interactions in the competition networks. We find that all competition networks are unstable. However, instability is mitigated considerably by asymmetries in the energy loss rates brought about by hierarchies of strong and weak competitors. This asymmetric organisation results in asymmetries in the interaction strengths, which reduces instability by keeping the weight of short (positive) and longer (positive and negative) feedback loops low. Our results support the idea that interference competition leads to instability and exclusion but demonstrate that this is not because of, but despite, competitive hierarchy.</p> <p><strong>Data</strong></p> <p>Our data set contains records of overgrowth competition in 30 high-latitude bryozoan assemblages. Rocks were collected by hand from shallow subtidal coastal locations at Rothera Island, West Antarctic Peninsula, Signy Island in the maritime Antarctic and Spitsbergen in the Arctic. For each assemblage, the data set contains one .csv file with abundance per species and one .csv file containing the species-contact-matrix. All bryozoans were identified to species and counted, giving abundance data in colonies per species. Then, all pairwise contests between colonies were classified as win, draw or loss and the results were compiled in the species-contact-matrices. For details, see the methods section of the paper.</p> <p><strong>Analysis </strong></p> <p>The analysis is subdivided into the following sections:</p> <ul> <li>0 <strong>Random matrices</strong>: Stability of random matrices with symmetric and asymmetric interactions.</li> <li>1 <strong>Preparation</strong>: Define functions to calculate asymmetry measures and set plotting parameters</li> <li>2 <strong>Read and process raw data</strong>: Converts raw data to Jacobian matrices</li> <li>3 <strong>Analysis of empirical matrices</strong>: Calculates stability, asymmetry measures, loop weights of empirical matrices.</li> <li>4 <strong>Analysis of randomised matrices:</strong> Randomises empirical matrices and analyses the effect on stability, asymmetry measures and loop weights.</li> <li>5<strong> Sensitivity</strong>: Effect of model assumptions (cost-values / replacement of missing values) on the results.</li> </ul> <p>Details on how to reproduce the full analysis, including all figures and tables in the manuscript can be found in the ReadMe file.</p>

Mitigating bycatch in trammel net fisheries using species-specific gear modifications
<p>Small-scale fisheries (SSF) use static gears like hanging nets, which are thought to interact with marine ecosystems more benignly than towed gears. Despite this, trammel nets, one of the most regularly used fishing gears in the Mediterranean SSF, generate large amounts of discards, which can account for 25% or more of the captured biomass. Discarded organisms may include endangered or threatened species such as elasmobranchs, as well as non-commercial invertebrates that damage fishing gear or cause disentanglement delays. We tested various trammel-net gear modifications, including (a) the use of a guarding net attached to the footrope, (b) increasing the size of the rigging twine between the footrope and the netting panel, and (c) decreasing the mesh size of the outer panels. The last two modifications were successful in lowering captures of the marbled electric ray Torpedo marmorata, which is commonly discarded in the study area. Both sorts of modifications are relatively simple and inexpensive to implement. The current study shows that prior evaluation of the discards profile of distinct métiers is essential to accomplish species-specific gear modifications and underlines the importance of collaboration among scientists, fishers and gear manufacturers.</p>

Protecting the resource: an assessment of mitigation methods used to protect large trees from African elephant impact in a savanna system
<p>African elephants (<em>Loxodonta africana</em>) can alter the structural components of savanna ecosystems, often through the reduction of the large tree (>5 m height) cover component. Elephant impact can be amplified in small, protected areas, or areas where water is readily available to elephants. One management option is to protect large trees directly using applied mitigation methods to limit elephant impact. In this paper, we assessed and compared the effectiveness and logistical requirements of four mitigation methods that have been applied to protect large trees from elephant impact in South Africa's Greater Kruger National Park - namely African honeybees (<em>Apis mellifera scutellata</em>) in beehives; creosote oil in glass jars, concrete pyramids arranged in circles around trees, as well as wire-netting the trees' main stems. For each method, elephant impact levels and tree mortality rates were measured over a 2–5-year period depending on the method in use. Sample sizes ranged from 43 to 59 trees per mitigation method, with a comparable control, which was a tree of the same species and morphological dimensions but lacking any mitigation application. Beehives were the most effective method at reducing tree loss, significantly reducing tree mortality from 34% (6.8%/year) in control trees to only 10% (2%/year) over the five-year experimental period. However, beehives were the most expensive method to apply to a tree, although this cost can be compensated through honey sales. Concrete pyramids reduced tree loss when the combined pyramid radius was >1.5 m in length, whilst wire-netting was effective against bark-stripping by elephants but was still vulnerable to heavier forms of impact such as uprooting and stem snapping. Creosote jars did not prevent elephants from impacting treated trees. Our results provide managers with a toolkit for protecting large trees against elephant impact, commenting on both the efficacy and the logistical constraints for each method.</p>

The role of high-contrast male facial stripes in mitigating female aggression in the jumping spider, Plexippus paykulli
<p>Vibrant male coloration and energetic courtship displays set jumping spiders apart from most arachnids, which typically rely on non-visual stimuli. Like many other spiders, female salticids engage in sexual cannibalism, making courtship a risky but necessary endeavor for males. In this study, we investigated the relationship between male coloration and female aggression to better understand the interplay of attraction and aversion during courtship.</p> <p>Many male jumping spiders sport conspicuous coloration or high-contrast patterns that are reminiscent of the coloration of many aposematic insects. The faces of <em>Plexippus paykulli</em> males are adorned with bold vertical stripes they direct toward females during courtship. We hypothesized that these stripes could function as a sensory trap, leveraging female aversion to the signal to reduce the likelihood of cannibalism.</p> <p>We tested whether spiders exhibit an aversion to stripes in the context of predation by manipulating prey coloration and testing spider preference for prey based on the presence or absence of stripes. Then we conducted two courtship experiments by manipulating male facial coloration to determine whether the presence of male stripes affects female aggression and likelihood of mating. We also manipulated female foraging drive in each courtship experiment (either diet or mating status) to see whether common sources of natural variation among females influenced response to courting males. We found that spiders showed an aversion to stripes while foraging but that this aversion does not confer reduced aggression from females toward striped males vs. males with stripes obscured. However, stripes did affect the likelihood of male reproductive success, as striped males mounted females more frequently than non-striped males. Finally, female condition influenced female response to courting males, with hungrier females showing higher aggression and previously mated females being mounted less frequently than non-mated females.</p>
