In response to reported schizophrenia linkage findings on chromosomes 3, 6 and 8, fourteen research groups genotyped 14 microsatellite markers in an unbiased, collaborative (New) sample of 403-567 informative pedigrees per marker, and in the Original sample which produced each finding (the Johns Hop...

The Sundarbans mangrove ecosystem, located in India and Bangladesh, is recognized as a global priority for biodiversity conservation and is an important provider of ecosystem services such as numerous goods and protection against storm surges. With global mean sea-level rise projected as up to 0.98 ...

Deltas provide diverse ecosystem services and benefits for their populations. At the same time, deltas are also recognised as one of the most vulnerable coastal environments, with a range of drivers operating at multiple scales, from global climate change and sea-level rise to deltaic-scale subsiden...

Coastal flooding due to storm surge and high tides is a serious risk for inhabitants of the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) delta, as much of the land is close to sea level. Climate change could lead to large areas of land being subject to increased flooding, salinization and ultimate abandonment in...

In the fertile Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) delta, which spans the boundary from West Bengal in India and Bangladesh, the availability of freshwater is crucial to subsistence livelihoods and protected ecosystems. Controlled by large tides and widely variable river discharge, the delta experiences...

The finite volume community ocean model (FVCOM) has been applied to the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) delta in the northern part of the Bay of Bengal in order to simulate tidal hydrodynamics and freshwater flow in a complex river system. The delta region is data-poor in observations of both bathym...

Human-wildlife cooperation occurs when humans and free-living wild animals actively coordinate their behavior to achieve a mutually beneficial outcome. These interactions provide important benefits to both the human and wildlife communities involved, have wider impacts on the local ecosystem, and re...

The total blue carbon stock of the Bangladesh Sundarban mangroves was evaluated and the probable future status after a century was predicted based on the recent trend of changes in the last 30 years and implementing a hybrid model of Markov Chain and Cellular automata. At present 36.24 Tg C and 54.9...

Understanding how changing climate may affect future salinity levels is important for ecosystem services within the delta. Observations of tidal river salinity in Bangladesh are limited so a field survey of salinity levels and river soundings were undertaken providing calibration for a hydrodynamic ...

ABSTRACTCalls to think or embrace an 'after' to rights, particularly ones that suggest adopting alternative ways of thinking or acting politically, often do so because of frustration with the liberal dimensions of rights. In this paper, I draw insights from theories of performativity and feminist ph...

IntroductionThe avian influenza HPAI H5N1 panzootic emerged in wild birds and poultry from the Northern Hemisphere in 2020 and has disseminated globally (1–6). From 2016 to 2023, the H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b was confirmed in mustelids (Mustelidae), pinnipeds (Phocidae), and cetaceans (Delphinidae and Pho...
