Summary: Preventing, detecting, and monitoring invasive marine species is a challenging task. Early detection of invasions, such as the Indo-pacific scleractinian coral Tubastraea coccinea in the Atlantic, is crucial for eradication. The impacts of such invasions on local species and ecosystems are significant. Brazil and the Canary Islands of Spain have implemented control plans for Tubastraea spp. We used an Individual-based Model to study the invasion history of Tubastraea coccinea in the southern Atlantic and identified hotspots for possible emerging invasion sites.

Summary: Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) is a method aimed at improving respiratory muscle strength and endurance. However, its effects vary between different populations. The use of standardized IMT protocols may overlook individual characteristics and training needs. Therefore, a more personalized approach to IMT training, based on individual goals and desired outcomes, may be more effective.

Summary: Intermodal freight transport involves using different modes of transportation without changing the load unit, aiming to reduce time spent at intermodal terminals. Drayage, while only covering a small percentage of total distance, can significantly impact overall costs. This study focuses on optimizing daily drayage operations to reduce costs and enhance intermodal efficiency, proposing a common framework and model for different drayage policies. Flexible empty container repositioning and soft time windows are identified as key factors in reducing operational costs and improving drayage management.

Summary: Companion animal pharmaceuticals are assumed to have low environmental risks, with European Medicines Agency not requiring data on their fate, behavior, or effects. Concerns have been raised about the environmental impacts of indiscriminate use of antiparasitic drugs in pets, and it is suggested that environmental aspects should be incorporated into the benefit-risk assessment of drugs used in companion animals.

Summary: André Journel, in his early 40s in the mid-1980s, was a prominent figure in geostatistics known for his development of indicator kriging and multiple indicator kriging. His sequential indicator simulation (SIS) method was a significant breakthrough, addressing the limitations of previous approaches by dealing with simulation tasks one step at a time and maintaining spatial continuity in extreme values.

Summary: Antarctica is contaminated by anthropogenic pollution, with penguins being at major risk due to the toxic effects of diesel, heavy metals, and microplastics. Despite being a relatively pristine continent, the increasing number of visitors poses a risk of environmental pollution. There is a surge of interest in the impacts of pollutants on penguins, highlighting the need for further research on this topic.
