Summary: This study developed a novel extended multievent mark-recapture model that incorporates state uncertainty at multiple levels of detection. Using a disease-structured example, the study found evidence of state assignment errors and showed that incorporating state uncertainty improves inference on ecological processes.

Summary: The safety evaluation of pesticides in the European Union relies on industry-funded toxicity studies. However, the safety documentation submitted by applicant companies for the herbicide glyphosate and its salts lacks developmental neurotoxicity studies. A previously sponsored study on one of the salts showed adverse effects on rat offspring, which were not communicated to authorities at the time. This commentary highlights the responsibility of the industry to ensure product safety and the importance of submitting all relevant data to EU authorities for a high level of human health protection.

Summary: Tilapia lake virus (TiLV) is a novel contagious pathogen that causes a lethal disease in tilapia populations worldwide. Understanding the innate and adaptive immune responses to TiLV infection is crucial for developing vaccination strategies and controlling the disease. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the current knowledge on immune responses to TiLV and identifies areas for further research to better understand disease protection against TiLV.

Summary: One limitation of species distribution models (SDMs) is the difficulty in modeling species with low sample sizes. This study compared different methods for predicting the geographic ranges of species with very low sample sizes. The researchers recommend using Maxent with species-specific model settings when sample sizes are low.

Summary: This paper conducts a tertiary review of literature reviews on knowledge management (KM) published in academic journals to analyze their state of the art and provide an overview of their evolution. It identifies two categories of contributions, those with continuous research interest and those without. This study expands the field of KM and provides original approaches for research in the field.

Summary: Estimation algorithms such as the sliding window filter can produce estimates and uncertainties for desired states, even when some states are unobservable. This letter introduces general requirements for maintaining consistency in sliding window filters when dealing with unobservable states. The value of these requirements is experimentally demonstrated in the context of visual-inertial SLAM navigation solutions utilizing IMU preintegration.

Summary: One of the goals of gravitational-wave astrophysics is to study the formation channels of binary black holes and connect models with data. This study explores the benefits and potential issues of using population synthesis models in the analysis. The findings suggest that the observed binary black holes do not form in a single channel and show that the uncertainties in the estimation of the branching ratios can shrink as the catalog size increases. However, caution should be used when interpreting the results as biases can significantly influence the analysis.

Summary: Microglia play a crucial role in immunologic surveillance and response in the central nervous system, as well as in the development and maintenance of neurons and neural networks, and neuroregeneration. Characterizing the key roles of microglia in neurodegenerative disorders, especially Alzheimer's disease, is of paramount importance.

Summary: Understanding the behavior of liquid ammonia is closely related to understanding the hydrogen bond networks in ammonia clusters. While ammonia clusters have received less attention compared to water clusters, insights can still be drawn from existing literature. By reviewing the structures, hydrogen bond networks, spectroscopy, and effects of temperature and solvent on ammonia clusters, as well as discussing their applications in determining solvation free energy and proton transfer free energy, we gain a better understanding of their potential applications and the need for future investigations.
