Phenology is a major component of animals' breeding, as they need to adjust their breeding timing to match optimal environmental conditions. While the effects of shifting phenology are well-studied on populations, few studies emphasise its ecological causes and consequences at the inter-individual level. Using a 20-year monitoring of more than 2500 breeding events from ~ 500 breeding little penguins (Eudyptula minor), a very asynchronously breeding seabird, we investigated the consequences of late breeding on present and next breeding events.

First, although it is recognized in theory that natural and anthropic components of ecosystems are tightly intertwined, in practice, many conservation policies and actions are still based on the assumption that human and nonhuman stakes should be dealt with in deeply different ways. Second, although the anchorage of environmental sciences in values is amply demonstrated, many conservation scientists still assume they will lose their scientific credentials if they actively participate in decision-making.

- * Concerns are raised about purely biological definitions being used in clinical settings, especially since many biomarker-positive but cognitively normal individuals may never develop symptoms, complicating diagnosis and patient understanding.
- * The authors advocate for a combined clinical-biological definition of AD that accommodates at-risk and presymptomatic stages, emphasizing the need for caution in diagnosing AD without fully understanding the implications for patients.

Introduction: A multidisciplinary therapeutic optimization unit (COT) was created in January 2023 at Versailles Hospital, aimed at therapeutic optimisation of patients with chronic heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. The objective of the study was to assess the impact of the first year of COT activity on the sequential implementation and titration of heart failure treatments, the clinical evolution, and improvement of patients' quality of life.
Methods: This prospective study included consecutive patients treated by the COT after hospitalisation for acute heart failure, from January to December 2023.
