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.

- The study investigates the impact of commercial milk formula (CMF) marketing on breastfeeding practices across seven countries, highlighting how CMF marketing contradicts international breastfeeding promotion laws.
- A total of 8,528 women participated in a survey, revealing significant exposure to CMF marketing, with rates varying widely by country (3% in Morocco to 92% in Vietnam), predominantly through television advertising.
- Results indicate that health professionals are the primary advisors for mothers choosing CMF, pointing to a need for better education on breastfeeding and alternatives to formula.
Background: This study examines whether phosphorylated plasma Tau217 ratio (pTau217R) can predict tau accumulation in different brain regions, as measured by positron emission tomography (PET) standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR), for staging Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Methods: Plasma pTau217R was measured using immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry. Models for predicting tau PET SUVR, developed with 144 early AD individuals using [F]MK6240, were validated in two validation sets, VS1 (98 early AD) and VS2 (47 preclinical/early AD with a different tracer, flortaucipir (Tauvid)), all amyloid-beta positive (Aβ+).
