“The kiwi, a… flightless bird from New Zealand, is disappearing, largely because of invasive species brought to the country’s islands by humans. So New Zealand has set a goal of exterminating rats, possums and other invasive animals that threaten the country’s biodiversity…”

Inferred STRUCTURE clustering plots for K = 2 and K = 3 under various combinations of parameters in the scenarios of hybrid speciation, specifically, the major clustering mode for individuals from species A, B, and C (from left to right). The top of each plot indicates the contribution proportion from parent C to the hybrid lineage B (γ) and admixture time (TA).

It's unbearably clear tt the correct word is "acknowledge" iso "accuse"🤔

2 rights groups are 1st Israeli voices to accuse #Israel of #genocide
"B'Tselem & Physicians for #HumanRights Israel released their reports at press conference in Jerusalem, say'g Israel was carrying out "coordinated, #deliberate action to destroy #Palestinian society in te #Gaza strip".. Israel's actions hv destroyed Gaza's #healthcare infrastructure in a manner tt's both #calculated & #systematic"

"Israel systematically pushing Palestinians into a 'concentration zone' in Gaza: Gideon Levy" [7:25 min]
by Al Jazeera English

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqY74YgUyfA

Quote by AJE:
" Jul 21, 2025
The UN humanitarian agency (OCHA) has described Israel’s latest forced displacement threat as “yet another devastating blow” to Palestinians in Gaza.
According to OCHA, “initial estimates indicate that between 50,000 and 80,000 people” were in the area affected by the threat, with at least 1,000 families fleeing the area already.
Gideon Levy is a columnist for Israeli newspaper, Haaretz.
He says it's clear what Israel's plan for Gaza is."

Azerbaijan cancels Russian events over ‘extrajudicial killings’ of 2 citizens in Russia’s Yekaterinburg

#Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry said on June 28 that Ziyaddin and Huseyn Safarov died during a #raid carried out by #Russian #authorities. Azerbaijan called the #killings “ethnically motivated public and deliberate #unlawful actions” & said that Russia’s action have "recently taken on a #systematic nature"

Our #systematic #review on chronic variable #stress (CVS) procedures in rodents is now out in Journal of Neuroendocrinology!

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jne.70051

A sister study to this, focussing on the reporting and justification of sample size in these studies (currently in review somewhere else) can be found on BioRXiv https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.09.26.615121v1

We systematically explored the literature where behavioural tests were performed following CVS. We found extreme variability in terms of the protocols used with any hardly any study using the same CVS protocol. We then asked whether the specific protocol influenced the outcomes of the study. For instance, we would expect a longer stress to cause a larger effect than a shorter one. We found only very small correlations between the strength of the stress protocol and the effect size measured in the study. In a case (forced swim test) correlation was even negative. Overall, our analysis reveals complex relation between stress protocols and behavioural outcomes and raises important ethical questions on the design of CVS studies.

Any comments very welcome, we're working on a couple of follow up manuscripts if anyone's interested!
