Understanding Author Choices in the Current Conservation Publishing Landscape

This study identifies publishing preferences among conservation researchers using a Discrete Choice Experiment, finding cost and double-blind review preferences across groups, with Open Access and journal scope being more influential than impact factor.

Liver Endothelium Promotes HER3-mediated Cell Survival in KRAS Wild-type and Mutant Colorectal Cancer Cells

The paper shows liver endothelial cells promote HER3-mediated survival in KRAS wild-type and mutant colorectal cancer cells through secreted factors, suggesting HER3 as a therapeutic target regardless of KRAS mutation status.

Restoration, dispersal and settlement of native European oyster (Ostrea edulis) in energetic tidal areas

The paper models larval dispersal and settlement of European oysters in the Solent, showing that active swimming behavior significantly influences distribution and that refugia in dynamic areas are more effective for restoration.

A new method for measuring fish swimming patterns in shallow water and a previously undescribed swimming gait

The paper introduces a new method to observe swimming patterns in fish using a Schlieren technique and describes a previously undescribed swimming gait called pulse swimming.

The structure and function of the sucker systems of hill stream loaches

This study examines the skeletal structure and functional mechanics of sucker systems in hill stream loaches to understand adaptations for high-flow environments.

Teleost fish can accurately estimate distance travelled

This study shows teleost fish can accurately estimate distance travelled, suggesting similar neural mechanisms to terrestrial vertebrates, but finbeat counting is unreliable for aquatic odometry.
