Article Synopsis
- Diel partitioning of marine animals, where species occupy different habitats or times of day, is often overlooked in ecological research, especially in daylight sampling.
- A study conducted on 54 reefs around Australia found significant differences between day and night species occupancy, with tropical reefs showcasing a striking contrast where daytime fishes were largely absent at night, while nocturnal invertebrates emerged.
- The findings suggest that understanding nocturnal behaviors is crucial for accurately assessing reef ecosystems, as failing to observe these patterns could lead to a significant gap in ecological knowledge and management strategies.
Background: Soil-transmitted helminths (STH) and schistosomiasis comprise the most wide-spread NTDs globally. Preventative chemotherapy is a cost-effective approach to controlling morbidity of both diseases, but relies on large scale surveys to determine and revise treatment frequency. Availability of detailed information on survey costs is limited despite recent methodological surveying innovations.

Article Synopsis
- The Bradford Royal Infirmary trialed a hospital command centre that uses digital technologies to enhance patient flow and safety, aiming to gather data on its effectiveness for future UK implementation.
- A mixed-methods study compared operational data from Bradford Royal Infirmary and Huddersfield Royal Infirmary, involving interviews and observations of 36 staff members to assess the command centre’s impact on patient care.
- Results showed improved staff confidence in operational control, with some tensions around decision-making and challenges in measuring the direct impact, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
