Summary: Recent awareness has grown around the importance of sexual conflict intensity and dynamics being highly dependent on the ecological setting of a population. Further research is needed to understand how sexual conflict feeds back into population adaptivity and demography, determining a population's chances of surviving sudden environmental changes. There is a focus on investigating sexual conflict dynamics in more natural settings and exploring responses to fluctuating and oscillating environmental changes.

Summary: This scoping review examined the structure, process, and outcomes of postdischarge follow-up services for trauma patients. The results showed wide variations in how these services are provided, with no standardized criteria established for determining recipients, timing, or frequency of follow-up. Patients reported satisfaction with the follow-up care, but further evaluation is needed to assess patient, family, and organizational outcomes.

Summary: Understanding the genetic basis of species' response to changing environments is crucial for species conservation, especially for long-lived tree species. Recent advances in landscape genomics provide new insights and approaches for tree conservation strategies by revealing signals of adaptive selection and predicting genetic offset and genomic vulnerability of species.

Summary: The study found that as the institutional context becomes more challenging, enforcement officials are less likely to move toward regulatees. Officials with higher pay satisfaction and societal support are more likely to move toward regulatees, but they are consistently less likely to do so if they receive fewer resources or more government support. Changes in institutional contexts may reshape the motivational bases of coping strategies among street-level bureaucrats.

Summary: This study evaluates the changes in basin-averaged runoff coefficient (RC) in 433 major global river basins and finds that 12.93% of basins show a decreasing trend in RC, while 6.47% of basins show an increasing trend. Human intervention is more likely to cause a decrease in RC compared to natural variability.

Summary: The amount of sunlight received by plants is influenced by cloudiness and pollution. Changes in cloud cover and aerosol concentrations will impact photosynthesis and terrestrial ecosystem productivity. Research has shown that clouds and aerosols can alter the spectral composition of incoming solar radiation, thus affecting the process of photosynthesis in plants.

Summary: The market demands Internet companies to achieve unit ambidexterity in order to adapt to a rapidly changing environment. This study finds that when the top management team formulates ambidextrous decisions, they should consider the contingency between business and environment from the perspective of the entire industry, as well as resource allocation and co-evolution, and effectively coordinate internal conflicts in the decision-making process in order to achieve sustained performance.
