TL;DR: 100 scientific questions that, if answered, would have the greatest impact on conservation practice and policy are identified and are expected to help identify new directions for researchers and assist funders in directing funds.

TL;DR: To find out what those questions are in the UK, representatives from 28 organizations involved in policy, together with scientists from 10 academic institutions, were asked to generate a list of questions, with the most striking outcome the preference for general questions rather than narrow ones.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the complexities, gaps in current knowledge and research, and the potentially promising avenues for future investigation in four priority research areas: agendas, processes, metrics and uncertainty.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The Horizon Scanning Workshop as discussed by the authors identified the future novel or step changes in threats to, and opportunities for, biodiversity that might arise in the UK up to 2050, but that had not been important in the recent past.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cadmium and mercury nephrotoxicity
TL;DR: Looking for damage to the kidneys in seabirds contaminated with mercury and cadmium and making comparisons with kidneys from three other groups of animals found that invididuals with comparatively high levels of metals had nephrotoxic lesions of a similar type and severity.
