Summary: This study analyzed satellite tracking data from three co-occurring apex predators to identify high interspecific variability in shark movement patterns and search strategies. Tiger sharks displayed near-random movements, great hammerheads showed a mixed-movement strategy, and bull sharks followed a resident movement strategy. The species-specific search strategies identified here may help foster the co-existence of these sympatric apex predators.

Summary: Environmental epigenetics has become a key research focus in climate change and environmental pollutant investigations in aquatic ecosystems. DNA methylation is the most robust epigenetic regulatory mark studied in aquatic animals, while histone variants and ncRNA regulation are less popular. Next generation sequencing and mass spectrometry-based methods offer opportunities for large-scale epigenetic studies in the future.

Summary: Wastewater-based epidemiology is not only used to estimate drug abuse and CoVID 19 incidence, but also to establish a fingerprint of city characteristics, such as health status, lifestyle, and exposure to pollutants. By identifying human biomarkers and wastewater characteristics, a better understanding of city features and differences can be achieved.

Summary: Decoding the human genome has improved understanding of cell biology and regulation, with peptide-based experiments simplifying complex protein interaction networks. Peptides are powerful tools for fundamental research and have helped address a wide range of proteome-related questions, such as enzyme substrates and protein interaction partners. Peptides are now being explored as disruptors of protein-protein interactions or enzyme activity.

Summary: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is recommended for people with cardiovascular disease (CVD), but it is underused and has disparities in access and participation. New virtual and remote delivery models have the potential to improve access and participation in CR. This review highlights important gaps in evidence, identifies research questions, and proposes strategies to address them.

Summary: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a beneficial but underused program for people with cardiovascular disease (CVD). The emergence of new virtual and remote delivery models has the potential to improve access to and participation in CR. Important research priorities include including diverse populations, enhancing equitable delivery, identifying populations that benefit most from virtual and remote CR, and comparing outcomes between traditional and virtual CR.

Summary: In response to the increasing calls for improved rigour and credibility in cognitive and behavioral sciences, novel meta-analyses are recommended to increase transparency using open science methods. Additionally, prospective meta-analyses combined with multisite collaboration could provide statistically powerful confirmatory ERP research as a complement to traditional exploratory approaches.

Summary: The current era of COVID-19 is characterized by emerging variants, declining immunity from vaccines and natural infection, debate over vaccine boosting, and the emergence of post-acute sequelae. Ongoing research is needed to understand the immunology of natural infection and prevention, with a focus on acute illness, prolonged symptoms, and the impact of interventions on long-term consequences.

Summary: This study identified clinical trials registered after 2015 that focus on primary outcomes with high Certainty of Evidence ratings in Cochrane SRs. Among 602 SRs analyzed, 81 contained high ratings on at least one primary outcome, totaling 152 high-rated outcomes. A total of 39 clinical trials were found to be registered for primary outcomes already rated as high in a 2015 Cochrane SR.

Summary: The study aimed to develop and assess tools for detecting and adjusting for outcome reporting bias. Results revealed evidence of selective outcome reporting, with statistically significant outcomes more likely to be published. The proposed model and the Copas model showed similar decreases in pooled effect sizes, while the Frosi and trim and fill methods performed poorly.

Summary: This study performs a meta-analysis on the relationship between network capabilities (NCs) and firm performance. The findings suggest that NCs have a positive impact on firm performance and moderate the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and firm performance. Firms should invest in developing NCs to enhance their performance.
