Journal ArticleDOI
Autonomic nerve development contributes to prostate cancer progression.
Claire Magnon,Simon J. Hall,Juan Lin,Xiaonan Xue,Leah R. Gerber,Leah R. Gerber,Stephen J. Freedland,Stephen J. Freedland,Paul S. Frenette +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the formation of new nerve fibers within and around prostate tumors can alter tumor behavior, and the autonomic nervous system appears to exert dual functions in prostate cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicted growth in plastic waste exceeds efforts to mitigate plastic pollution.
Stephanie B. Borrelle,Stephanie B. Borrelle,Stephanie B. Borrelle,Jeremy Ringma,Jeremy Ringma,Kara Lavender Law,Cole C. Monnahan,Laurent Lebreton,Alexis McGivern,Erin L. Murphy,Jenna Jambeck,George H. Leonard,Michelle A. Hilleary,Marcus Eriksen,Hugh P. Possingham,Hugh P. Possingham,Hannah De Frond,Leah R. Gerber,Beth Polidoro,Akbar Tahir,Miranda Bernard,Nicholas Mallos,Megan Barnes,Chelsea M. Rochman +23 more
TL;DR: Assessment of three broad management strategies, plastic waste reduction, waste management, and environmental recovery, at different levels of effort to estimate plastic emissions to 2030 for 173 countries found that 19 to 23 million metric tons, or 11%, of plastic waste generated globally in 2016 entered aquatic ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population models for marine reserve design: A retrospective and prospective synthesis
Leah R. Gerber,Louis W. Botsford,Alan Hastings,Hugh P. Possingham,Steven D. Gaines,Stephen R. Palumbi,Sandy J. Andelman +6 more
TL;DR: Model results indicate that marine reserves could play a beneficial role in the protection of marine systems against overfishing and further modeling and analysis will greatly improve prospects for a better understanding of the potential of marine reserves for conserving biodiversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marine Reserves as a Tool for Ecosystem-Based Management: The Potential Importance of Megafauna
Sascha K. Hooker,Leah R. Gerber +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss whether marine predators attract significant attention in ocean conservation planning and are therefore often used politically to promote reserve designation and discuss whether their ecology and life history can help provide a rigorous ecological foundation for marine reserve design.
Journal ArticleDOI
The rising tide of ocean diseases: unsolved problems and research priorities
C. Drew Harvell,Richard B. Aronson,Nancy Baron,Joseph H. Connell,Andrew P. Dobson,Steve Ellner,Leah R. Gerber,Kiho Kim,Armand M. Kuris,Hamish McCallum,Kevin D. Lafferty,Kevin D. Lafferty,Bruce McKay,James Porter,Mercedes Pascual,Garriett Smith,Katherine Sutherland,Jessica L. Ward +17 more
TL;DR: Five major unsolved problems and priorities for future research for managing disease in the world's oceans are identified: detecting origins and reservoirs for marine diseases and tracing the flow of some new pathogens from land to sea.
