AbstractAimThe incidence of major fires is increasing globally, creating extraordinary challenges for governments, managers and conservation scientists. In 2019–2020, Australia experienced precedent‐setting fires that burned over several months, affecting seven states and territories and causing massive biodiversity loss. Whilst the fires were still burning, the Australian Government convened a biodiversity Expert Panel to guide its bushfire response. A pressing need was to target emergency investment and management to reduce the chance of extinctions and maximise the chances of longer‐term recovery. We describe the approach taken to rapidly prioritise fire‐affected animal species. We use the experience to consider the organisational and data requirements for evidence‐based responses to future ecological disasters.LocationForested biomes of subtropical and temperate Australia, with lessons for other regions.MethodsWe developed assessment frameworks to screen fire‐affected species based on their pre‐fire conservation status, the proportion of their distribution overlapping with fires, and their behavioural/ecological traits relating to fire vulnerability. Using formal and informal networks of scientists, government and non‐government staff and managers, we collated expert input and data from multiple sources, undertook the analyses, and completed the assessments in 3 weeks for vertebrates and 8 weeks for invertebrates.ResultsThe assessments prioritised 92 vertebrate and 213 invertebrate species for urgent management response; another 147 invertebrate species were placed on a watchlist requiring further information.ConclusionsThe priority species lists helped focus government and non‐government investment, management and research effort, and communication to the public. Using multiple expert networks allowed the assessments to be completed rapidly using the best information available. However, the assessments highlighted substantial gaps in data availability and access, deficiencies in statutory threatened species listings, and the need for capacity‐building across the conservation science and management sectors. We outline a flexible template for using evidence effectively in emergency responses for future ecological disasters.

AimTo identify all patients with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita presenting to a specialized pediatric orthopedic institution over a 28‐year period; classify them into three groups (general arthrogryposis not otherwise specified [NOS], amyoplasia, or distal arthrogryposis); report the frequency of various musculoskeletal features; and determine the rate of operative treatment.MethodPatients with arthrogryposis under the age of 18 years who presented between 1990 and 2017 were included. Patients were placed into one of three groups based on clinical features and family history when available. Age of presentation, joint involvement, and utilization of surgical treatment were recorded.ResultsThere were 417 patients in total (184 females, 233 males); 235 patients (56.4%) had general arthrogryposis NOS, 107 (25.7%) had amyoplasia, and 75 (18.0%) had distal arthrogryposis. Patients with amyoplasia presented at a younger age (median 4mo) than those with general arthrogryposis NOS (median 1y 3mo, p=0.005), and had a lower rate of spine involvement than patients with general arthrogryposis NOS (p=0.004) and distal arthrogryposis (p=0.023). The average number of surgeries across all patients was 1.9 (SD 2.2).InterpretationPediatric patients with amyoplasia present to orthopedic care earlier and are less likely to have spine involvement than other forms of arthrogryposis. Multiple surgeries are common among all patients with arthrogryposis.

AbstractBackgroundPulmonary embolism (PE) is a common life‐threatening disease, with mortality related to right ventricular (RV) dysfunction.AimsTo investigate the value of 3D global and regional RV strain in patients with acute PE and at 1 month, as compared to a control population.Methods and resultsWe conducted a longitudinal case‐control prospective study, including 24 consecutive intermediate‐risk PE patients. All patients underwent 2D and 3D transthoracic echocardiography within 12 hours of PE diagnosis and 1 month after hospital discharge. A control group was recruited, consisting of healthy volunteers matched on age and sex with PE patients. 3D RV echocardiographic sequences were analyzed by commercial RV‐specific software and output meshes were post‐processed to extract regional deformation. 3D echocardiographic 1‐month follow‐up was available in 18 patients. During acute PE, area strain was substantially altered in the RV free wall and within the trabecular septum. PE patients initially had RV dysfunction as assessed by 2D and 3D parameters. At follow‐up, 2D parameters were restored compared to the control group, contrary to 3D RV area and circumferential strains. The McConnell's sign was identified in 83% of patients and was associated with reduced apical and global RV area strain.ConclusionsOur 3D RV strain study demonstrates an incomplete recovery of 3D strain parameters 1 month after an episode of intermediate‐risk acute PE despite restored 2D parameters. Further studies are required to assess the prognostic role and implications of this residual RV strain impairment after PE.

Published: October 2021

AbstractAn 86‐year‐old man with end‐stage renal disease on hemodialysis with an arteriovenous fistula in his left upper extremity presented to his hemodialysis session with thrombosis of his arteriovenous fistula. The patient underwent surgical thrombectomy. The patient later showed evidence of peripheral embolization and livedo reticularis. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiograms revealed a large thrombus (5 × 2 cm) in the right atrium prolapsing to the left atrium via a patent foramen ovale and another thrombus adherent to the apical wall of the right ventricle. The thrombus in the left atrium was intermittently crossing the mitral valve and entering the left ventricle.
Between unfreedoms: The role of caste in decisions to repatriate among indentured workers
Authors: Hui Neha , Kambhampati Uma S. 
Published: October 2021

AbstractIndian indentured labour migration followed slavery in providing cheap labour to British plantation colonies. To make this migration characteristically distinct from slavery, the workers were offered a subsidized trip back at the end of the indenture period. However, despite this guaranteed and subsidized return passage, only about a third of the workers returned to India. In this article, we consider the role of caste in the decision to return home using data from ship registers for more than 16 000 Indian indentured workers in British Guiana between 1872 and 1911. Our results indicate that individuals from very low castes were significantly less likely to return home in comparison to other caste groups. We argue that this was because while caste hierarchy played a very significant role in every aspect of the workers’ lives back in India, their lives in the plantation economies did not allow the reproduction of caste hierarchies. Low caste workers who stayed on in British Guiana were therefore able to escape the unfreedom of caste. This trend is not robust for other caste groups. While the association of higher caste groups and return is positive and significant, the significance disappears when we include economic conditions.
Introspective acquaintance: An integration account
Authors: Giustina Anna 
Published: October 2021

AbstractIn this paper, I develop a new version of the acquaintance view of the nature of introspection of phenomenal states. On the acquaintance view, when one introspects a current phenomenal state of one's, one bears to it the relation of introspective acquaintance. Extant versions of the acquaintance view neglect what I call thephenomenal modification problem. The problem, articulated by Franz Brentano in hisPsychology from an Empirical Standpoint, is that drawing introspective attention to one's current conscious experience may modify its phenomenology. Failing to take phenomenal modification into account affects the adequacy of extant versions of the acquaintance view. The purpose of this paper is to develop a better version, theintegration account, that meets the phenomenal modification challenge while preserving the merits of other versions.
Feeling at Home in the Clinic: Therapeutic Dwelling in an Addiction Rehabilitation Center in Tehran, Iran
Authors: Bastani Parsa 
Published: October 2021

AbstractThis article describes community life in a free residential rehabilitation center for women in Tehran, Iran. In a social context that stigmatizes drug use, especially by women, this rehabilitation center provides poor and homeless drug users a much‐needed opportunity to engage in recovery. I argue that the treatment team's emphasis on “therapeutic dwelling” had significant ramifications on the rehabilitation outcomes of their patients. I use the term “therapeutic dwelling” to refer to a patient's ability to form mutual relations of care and concern with others in therapeutic settings. A therapeutic culture that emphasizes dwelling can have multiple effects on the healing trajectories of patients. It can create a supportive community that extends the rehabilitation process while also further marginalizing patients who are unable to properly exhibit care toward others. Ultimately, this article highlights that dwelling should be approached as a malleable—rather than a purely positive—form of sociality that has the power to both exclude and welcome, to provide and withhold personal connection and intimacy
The interplay of environmental constraints and bioturbation on matground development along the marine depositional profile during the Ordovician Radiation

Published: October 2021

AbstractThis study documents the distribution of matgrounds in a wide variety of environments recorded in the Ordovician Lashkerak and Ghelli Formations in the Alborz Mountains of northern Iran in order to evaluate controls on their distribution along the marine depositional profile. Detailed facies analysis allowed differentiating three groups of facies associations in the Lower to Upper Ordovician deposits of the Lashkerak formation: (i) estuarine system; (ii) wave‐dominated shoreface‐offshore complex; and (iii) mixed river‐ and wave‐influenced deltaic system. The Middle to Upper Ordovician deposits of the Ghelli formation are divided into two groups of facies associations: (i) tide‐influenced deltaic succession and (ii) deep‐water fan system. Microbially induced sedimentary structures (MISS) are present in deposits formed in the central estuarine basin (Lashkerak formation) and in proximal lobes and lobe fringes of deep–water turbidite fans (Ghelli formation). On the contrary, MISS are absent in deposits from the wave‐dominated shoreface‐offshore complex, river‐ and tide‐dominated deltas, and various subenvironments of the incised wave‐dominated estuary (i.e., bayhead delta and estuary mouth) and the deep‐marine turbidite fan system (i.e., turbidite channel, slope, and outer lobe). The lack of evidence of mat‐building microorganisms in the deltaic systems may have resulted from two factors: (1) high physico‐chemical stressors caused by river‐induced processes, and (2) increase in degree of sediment disturbance, biodiffusion, and bioirrigation by burrowing organisms. Formation of microbial mats in the wave‐dominated shoreface‐offshore complex was inhibited by the activity of an abundant and diverse infauna capable of reworking the sediment. Our analysis shows that the spatial distribution of microbial mats was controlled by an interplay of environmental factors and innovations in animal‐substrate interactions, mostly expressed by secular changes in bioturbation. This study supports the notion that the agronomic revolution was diachronic, with marginal‐marine and deep‐sea ecosystems lagging behind shallow‐marine settings.
Predicting the response of disease vectors to global change: The importance of allometric scaling

AbstractThe distribution of disease vectors such as mosquitoes is changing. Climate change, invasions and vector control strategies all alter the distribution and abundance of mosquitoes. When disease vectors undergo a range shift, so do disease burdens. Predicting such shifts is a priority to adequately prepare for disease control. Accurate predictions of distributional changes depend on how factors such as temperature and competition affect mosquito life‐history traits, particularly body size and reproduction. Direct estimates of both body size and reproduction in mosquitoes are logistically challenging and time‐consuming, so the field has long relied upon linear (isometric) conversions between wing length (a convenient proxy of size) and reproductive output. These linear transformations underlie most models projecting species' distributions and competitive interactions between native and invasive disease vectors. Using a series of meta‐analyses, we show that the relationship between wing length and fecundity are nonlinear (hyperallometric) for most mosquito species. We show that whilst most models ignore reproductive hyperallometry (with respect to wing length), doing so introduces systematic biases into estimates of population growth. In particular, failing to account for reproductive hyperallometry overestimates the effects of temperature and underestimates the effects of competition. Assuming isometry also increases the potential to misestimate the efficacy of vector control strategies by underestimating the contribution of larger females in population replenishment. Finally, failing to account for reproductive hyperallometry and variation in body size can lead to qualitative errors via the counter‐intuitive effects of Jensen's inequality. For example, if mean sizes decrease, but variance increases, then reproductive outputs may actually increase. We suggest that future disease vector models incorporate hyperallometric relationships to more accurately predict changes in mosquito distribution in response to global change.
The virtues of insularity: Pondering a new chapter in the historical geography of islands
Authors: Baldacchino Godfrey , Starc Nenad 
Published: October 2021

AbstractWe may be on the cusp of a renaissance in small island living. The slow but steady decline that characterised much of the industrial age seems to have been halted in some islands and in some countries – including Ireland and Croatia – and even reversed in some places (the Aran Islands). Using a broad sweep this exploratory article explains the broad historical phenomenon of small island youth outmigration, population decline or resettlement; and how this is being replaced with a newfound value in ‘splendid isolation’ that, however, boasts elements of connectivity (including access to the World Wide Web).

Published: October 2021

AbstractUrochloa (syn. Brachiaria) cultivars are widely used as forage for ruminants in tropical countries and also in Thailand. Two new Urochloa cultivars, OKI‐1 and Br‐203, have high forage yield and digestibility compared with other cultivated Urochloa grasses. Seed production is a fundamental requirement for widespread sowing, and it can be increased by optimizing agronomic practices, such as changing plant spacing. Two field trials were conducted in 2018–2020 at Lampang Animal Nutrition Research and Development Center, Northern Thailand, to determine the optimal plant spacing for seed production of these Urochloa cultivars. In both trials, four plant‐spacing regimes (50 × 100, 75 × 100, 100 × 100 and 125 × 100 cm) were used in a randomized complete block design with four replicates. In two consecutive harvests of both trials, plant spacing did not significantly affect seed yield and quality but affected tiller and inflorescence densities. Specifically, significant higher numbers of tillers and inflorescences were produced per unit area at the narrowest plant spacing (i.e., 50 × 100 cm). OKI‐1 and Br‐203 tended to have higher pure seed yields (PSY) at plant spacings of 100 × 100 (136.46 kg/ha) and 75 × 100 cm (79.59 kg/ha), respectively. Both cultivars showed similar trends in PSY, filled seed percentage and a thousand seed weight, which tended to be higher in the first‐year crops than the second‐year crops. This difference could be attributed to a reduction in available soil N resulting from a large amount of N utilization during vegetative growth, combined with inadequate and erratic rainfall. In addition to the recommended optimum plant spacing, sufficient fertilizer and suitable environmental factors could increase seed yield.
From “nobody's clapping for us” to “bad moms”: COVID‐19 and the circle of childcare in Canada
Authors: Smith Julia 
Published: October 2021

AbstractThe COVID‐19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of childcare to national economies in general and women's economic participation in particular, spurring renewed interest in childcare policy in many countries that have implemented lockdowns. This paper adopts a circle of care framework to analyzes how COVID‐19 has affected paid childcare, unpaid childcare and other paid work, and the relationship between these sectors. Analysis is grounded in the lived experiences of parents and childcare educators, documented through 16 semi‐structured interviews during the initial lockdown (March–June 2020) in British Columbia, Canada. Experiences from educators suggest their safety was not prioritized, and that their contributions were undervalued and went unrecognized. Mothers, who provided the majority of unpaid care, not only lost income due to care demands, but struggled to access necessities, with some reporting increased personal insecurity. Those attempting to work from home also experienced feelings of guilt and distress as they tried to manage the triple burden. Similarities of experiences across the circle of care suggest the COVID‐19 childcare policy response in BC Canada downloaded care responsibilities on to women without corresponding recognition or support, causing women to absorb the costs of care work, with potential long‐term negative effects on women's careers and well‐being, as well as on the resilience of the circle of care. Pandemic recovery and preparedness policies that aim to promote gender equality must consider all sectors of the circle of care and the relationships between them.
Wild bee visitors and their association with sown and unsown floral resources in reconstructed pollinator habitats within an agriculture landscape

Published: October 2021

AbstractIn the Midwestern United States where the landscape has been largely converted from tallgrass prairie to row crops, thousands of private land parcels have been enrolled in federal pollinator habitat reconstruction programmes.To examine the outcome of pollinator habitat reconstruction, we randomly selected 19 sites that were in the third growing season post restoration and surveyed plant, floral and wild bee richness and abundance. Floral sources were divided into three categories: species from the seed mix (sown), species from the soil seed bank or surrounding landscape (unsown), and species that were likely unintentionally sown (contamination).Seventy‐two percent of captured bees were collected from sown flowers. The majority of oligolectic bees were Asteraceae specialists. Using linear regressions with bee abundance and richness as response variables and floral density and diversity as predictor variables, we showed that sown floral density was positively correlated with the total abundance and richness of bees collected from sown flowers, indicating that the selected pollinator friendly flowers provide support for wild bee communities. Conversely, total plant stem density or richness or the total floral density or richness was not significantly correlated with bee abundance or richness.The plant–pollinator network nestedness and modularity were positively correlated with the ratio of the unsown floral richness at each site, which suggests that the association between unsown flowers and wild bees can increase the long‐term stability of the plant‐pollinator network, even though the unsown species do not directly increase the bee abundance or richness.
