Article Synopsis
  • The primary aim of rare plant translocation is to establish self-sustaining populations that can endure over time, but most studies only analyze short-term success metrics like survival and reproduction.
  • A comprehensive analysis of 275 monitored at-risk plant translocations revealed that management techniques play a critical role in short-term success, while site attributes and species traits are more significant for long-term population persistence.
  • Key findings indicated that larger founder sizes enhance reproductive potential, whereas poor habitat quality and low seed production in species heighten the risk of extinction in the long run; effective management can help mitigate these challenges.

Background: The effect of malaria infection on the immunogenicity of the recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus-Zaire Ebola virus envelope glycoprotein (GP) vaccine (rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP) (ERVEBO) is unknown.

Methods: The Sierra Leone Trial to Introduce a Vaccine Against Ebola (STRIVE) vaccinated 7998 asymptomatic adults with rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP during the 2014-2016 Ebola epidemic. In STRIVE's immunogenicity substudy, participants provided blood samples at baseline and at 1, 6, and 9-12 months.

Background: No economic evaluations exist of free or subsidized ridesharing services designed to reduce impaired driving.

Objectives: To evaluate the effects and economics of a 17-weekend program that provided rideshare coupons good for free one-way or round trips to/from the hospitality zones in Columbus, Ohio, coupled with a modest increase in enforcement and a media campaign that used messaging about enforcement to promote usage.

Methods: Web surveys of riders and intercept surveys of foot traffic in the hospitality zones yielded data on the reduction in driving after drinking and the change in alcohol consumption associated with coupon use.
