Article Abstract
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species is central in biodiversity conservation, but insufficient resources hamper its long-term growth, updating, and consistency. Models or automated calculations can alleviate those challenges by providing standardised estimates required for assessments, or prioritising species for (re-)assessments. However, while numerous scientific papers have proposed such methods, few have been integrated into assessment practice, highlighting a critical research-implementation gap. We believe this gap can be bridged by fostering communication and collaboration between academic researchers and Red List practitioners, and by developing and maintaining user-friendly platforms to automate application of the methods. We propose that developing methods better encompassing Red List criteria, systems, and drivers is the next priority to support the Red List.

Essential genes are interesting in their own right and as potential antibiotic targets. To date, only one report has identified essential genes on a genome-wide scale in , a problematic pathogen for which treatment options are limited. That foundational study used large-scale transposon mutagenesis to identify 404 protein-encoding genes as likely to be essential for vegetative growth of the epidemic strain R20291.

Background And Objectives: The International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) Quality Management Working Party (QM-WP) initiated a project to harmonize the definitions commonly used in quality management within blood establishments (BEs) around the world. A working group was established with the aim of providing simple, unambiguous definitions that can be applied in a standardized way.
Materials And Methods: Common references available internationally were consulted in drafting a list of definitions relating to quality management.
Rare phenotypes of white coat color in Simmental calves: genetic causes of syndromic forms of albinism and depigmentation.

Institute of Genetics, Vetsuisse Faculty, University of Bern, 3012, Bern, Switzerland.
The aim of this study was to investigate three unrelated Simmental calves with atypical white coat color, identify potential genetic causes using a trio-based whole-genome sequencing approach, and assess the prevalence of the identified variants in the breed. Several inherited alleles affecting coat color, ranging from fawn to red spotted and white-headed, have been described in Simmental cattle originating from Switzerland. However, no genetic variant has yet been associated with an almost completely white coat in this breed.

Background: Ground beetles are present in most terrestrial ecosystems and fulfil key functions, especially as many species are important predators, contributing to natural pest control in agricultural landscapes. However, intensive agriculture, which combines monocultures and synthetic inputs, has been shown to have negative effects on insect diversity and abundance. To counteract insect decline, numerous measures are being implemented and tested at national scales.

- Enhancing the efficiency and stability of perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells is achieved by reducing charge transport losses and non-radiative recombination.
- The study implemented a hybrid two-step perovskite deposition with a surface treatment that improved charge carrier concentration, reducing recombination and increasing conductivity.
- The resulting high-performance solar cells achieved a conversion efficiency of 33.1% and demonstrated strong outdoor stability, particularly along the Red Sea Coast.
