ADDRESSING THE ENVIRONMENTAL, COMMUNITY, AND HEALTH IMPACTS OF RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT: CHALLENGES ACROSS SCALES, SECTORS, AND SITES

Addressing the Environmental, Community, and Health Impacts of Resource Development: Challenges across Scales, Sectors, and Sites

Work that addresses the cumulative impacts of resource extraction on environment, community, and health is necessarily large in scope.This paper presents experiences from initiating research at this intersection and explores implications for the ambitious, integrative agenda of planetary health.The purpose is to outline origins, design features, an

Widespread establishment of adventive populations of Leptopilina japonica (Hymenoptera, Figitidae) in North America and development of a multiplex PCR assay to identify key parasitoids of Drosophila suzukii (Diptera, Drosophilidae)

In recent years, there has been an increase in the adventive establishment and spread of parasitoid wasps outside of their native range.However, lack of taxonomic tools can hinder the efficient screening of field-collected samples to document the establishment and range expansion of parasitoids on continent-wide geographic scales.Here we report tha

In situ effects of simulated overfishing and eutrophication on settlement of benthic coral reef invertebrates in the Central Red Sea

In the Central Red Sea, healthy coral reefs meet intense coastal flex 4 heartworm test development, but data on the effects of related stressors for reef functioning are lacking.This in situ study therefore investigated the independent and combined effects of simulated overfishing through predator/grazer exclusion and simulated eutrophication throu
