Large-scale and long-term wildlife research and monitoring using camera traps: a continental synthesis.
Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
January 2025
Camera traps are widely used in wildlife research and monitoring, so it is imperative to understand their strengths, limitations, and potential for increasing impact. We investigated a decade of use of wildlife cameras (2012-2022) with a case study on Australian terrestrial vertebrates using a multifaceted approach. We (i) synthesised information from a literature review; (ii) conducted an online questionnaire of 132 professionals; (iii) hosted an in-person workshop of 28 leading experts representing academia, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and government; and (iv) mapped camera trap usage based on all sources.

- Drosophila female germline stem cells (GSCs) undergo asymmetric mitosis with a functional nuclear envelope, relying on a unique centrosome cycle that involves modified interactions with the nuclear lamina.
- The protein Emerin is crucial for maintaining GSC centrosome structure, and its absence leads to excessive centrosome material retention and abnormal GSC behavior, resulting in reduced stem cell survival.
- Interestingly, reducing centrosome material in emerin mutants can improve GSC survival and differentiation, indicating the importance of centrosome structure in preserving stem cell function.
We report efforts to quantify the loading of cell-sized lipid vesicles using in-line digital holographic microscopy. This method does not require fluorescent reporters, fluorescent tracers, or radioactive tracers. A single-color LED light source takes the place of conventional illumination to generate holograms rather than bright field images.

Objectives: To provide recommendations for diagnosis and immediate management of an unintentional intra-arterial injection of sclerosing agents.
Objectives: The Modern Innovative Solutions to Improve Outcomes in Asthma, Breathlessness and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) (MABC) service aimed to enhance disease management for chronic respiratory conditions through specialist multidisciplinary clinics, predominantly in the community. This study assesses the outcomes of these clinics.
Design: This study used a prospective, longitudinal, participatory action research approach.
