A few years ago, I found a parasite in my armpit. It was the larva of a blowfly, and I knew pretty well what it was, based on where I’d gotten it – or at least I thought I did. Kibale National Park, Uganda, is known internationally for its diversity of nonhuman primates and among smaller circles for its high frequency of furuncular myiasis, a condition caused by parasitic fly larvae burrowing into the skin of a host.

People with severe mental illness (SMI) frequently experience anxiety that interferes with daily functioning, social participation, and recovery. Although cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), particularly exposure-based approaches, is effective for anxiety, access remains limited for this population, especially in community settings where outreach services are central to care.…

A recently published research article that shows public gardens in the U.S. and Canada can serve as sentinels to invasive plant species in North America. Researchers examined data collected through Public Gardens as Sentinels against Invasive Plants (PGSIP), a project which links data from a network of botanical gardens and arboreta across North America to provide information on plants within their collection that are escaping cultivation.

Elephant grass [Cenchrus purpureus (Schum.) Morrone] is an outstanding forage crop widely used in tropical regions due to its high biomass yield and climatic adaptability. However, considerable variability exists among cultivars, making it essential to understand how the management of genotypes with differing in stem elongation potential can impact forage accumulation and quality for ruminants

Metabolism, the intricate web of biochemical reactions that sustain life within cells, serves as the powerhouse driving essential cellular functions. At the heart of metabolism lies the provision of energy and building blocks crucial for the synthesis of macromolecules, vital for cellular structures, growth, and proliferation. This complex network comprises thousands of reactions catalysed by enzymes, involving an array of co-factors and metabolites.

If left unchecked, both overabundant white-tailed deer populations and invasive shrubs like Amur honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii) can devastate deciduous native tree regeneration. Yet, a management strategy focused only on deer, or only on invasive shrubs, results in little or no forest health improvement, according to research from Ohio, spanning more than 10 years.

Beyond just the discovery of this invasive species on New Jersey shores, this study reveals the usefulness of reporting platforms like iNaturalist. Checking kilometers of coastline requires many hours of work – far beyond what is possible for an academic study. But through reporting of sightings, citizen scientists can provide a wealth of useful data. Indeed, since the publication of the paper, the beadlet anemone has now been found to the north in New York State. The colonists are spreading out.

Until now, not much was known about the influence that nozzle type and application volume have on weed control efficacy with remotely piloted aerial application systems (RPAASs). However, new research shows that RPAAS applications using low-drift nozzles at low spray volumes (1.0–1.5 gallons/acre) can achieve weed control levels comparable to ground sprayer applications at 10 gallons/acre in turf.

It is fitting but painfully frustrating to note that I write these words on the day that marks exactly three years since Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. What has that to do with theatre? Well, my Worldwide Ukrainian Play Readings (WUPR) arose a few nanoseconds after that sad historical event, and has gone on to midwife over 700 readings, productions, installations, films, videos, conferences, and more in 33 countries. All of them present and promote the work of Ukrainian writers offering unique and powerful insights into their national tragedy.

Cross-cultural research in the social sciences is expanding rapidly, helping us understand how different cultures shape human behaviour. But here’s the big question: Are the tools we use actually measuring what we think they are in diverse populations? This issue of construct validity—ensuring research instruments truly capture what they are meant to—becomes even more complicated when studying children in diverse cultural settings. Our recent paper, Construct Validity in Cross-Cultural, Developmental Research: Challenges and Strategies for Improvement, reveals why this matters and how researchers can (try to, at least!) get it right

Our new initiative at Cambridge aims to make 100 popular backlist titles available as open access, further expanding access to valuable scholarly content.

Every year, an increasing proportion of scientific articles are published open access, which means they are fully available to all, rather than being hidden behind a subscription paywall. There are various reasons for this trend, but all are underpinned by the fact that publicly available research enables greater impact and visibility, while also increasing the accessibility of scientific knowledge.
