Pulmonary Embolism in 2026: New Guidelines, Data, and Treatment Pathways
Pulmonary embolism (PE) care is entering a new chapter. In February 2026, a multisociety guideline introduced an A to E clinical classification framework and gave class I support for PE response team (PERT) assessment to improve in-hospital care—the first major update since the 2019 European Society of Cardiology guidelines.1,2 Because the guideline review preceded the first randomized mechanical thrombectomy trials, emerging evidence must be interpreted alongside its recommendations.
The limits of Antarctic conservation governance
Abstract The Antarctic region exerts a profound influence on the Earth system, making its conservation fundamental to sustaining planetary health and human wellbeing. The Antarctic Treaty System (ATS) holds near-exclusive authority for environmental protection across the region, yet questions remain regarding its capacity to address a growing range of conservation threats.
The Massif Central as a Centre of Roman Brass Production? New Geochemical Data of the So-Called Hemmoor Buckets
1 Introduction At the end of the 1st century bc, the alloy brass began to appear more frequently in the Roman archaeological context. Given the increased and standardized zinc content (> 20 wt.-%) of many brass finds, it can be concluded that there was an established, centralized and standardized production process using the so-called cementation process (Morton 2019).

Voting Systems Influence Conservation Outcomes for International Fisheries
1 Introduction Regional Fishery Management Organizations (RFMOs; Figure 1) were established to regulate fish stocks whose range is partly or entirely beyond national jurisdictions. Through cooperative decision-making, RFMOs seek to ensure both the sustainable and equitable harvest of exploited stocks, as well as their conservation (United Nations 1982).
Progress towards global nutrition targets and future directions
The Global Nutrition Target Collaborators have presented a comprehensive summary of progress towards the 2030 global nutrition targets (GNTs), showing most countries will not meet them.1 From the data provided in the analysis, only 136 (11%) of the 1224 country–target combinations are projected to be reached, highlighting the gap between aspiration and attainment. Yet, their results show meaningful progress across all nutritional indicators. How do we reconcile these contrasting assessments?
Emerging threats to Antarctic conservation - Nature Ecology & Evolution
Abstract Antarctica, long considered an environmental sanctuary, now confronts accelerating, complex and inter-related conservation challenges. The vast size and remote location of the continent introduce substantial uncertainty in understanding and predicting these threats. Here, using strategic foresight techniques, we synthesized insights from a global horizon scan with 131 experts from 42 countries. We identified ten emerging conservation challenges across six thematic categories.

Marine reserves contribute half of the larval supply to a coral reef fishery
Abstract Marine reserves deliver impressive increases in the abundance and size of exploited species on protected reefs, but larval dispersal makes it difficult to estimate their wider benefits. Australia’s Great Barrier Reef (GBR) contains an extensive network of marine reserves.
Identifying and explaining resilience in ecological networks
INTRODUCTION As the Anthropocene drives accelerating global change, resilience is an important and desirable characteristic of ecological systems (Folke et al., 2004). Resilience has a range of definitions, but it generally refers to the capacity of an ecosystem to absorb or withstand perturbations and other stressors, while still maintaining essentially the same function, structure and feedbacks (Carpenter et al., 2001; Holling, 1973; Meyer, 2016; Walker et al., 2004; see Figure 1).
Predicting fine-scale distributions and emergent spatiotemporal patterns from temporally dynamic step selection simulations
Abstract Understanding and predicting animal movement is fundamental to ecology and conservation management. Models that estimate and then predict animal movement and habitat selection parameters underpin diverse conservation applications, from mitigating invasive species spread to enhancing landscape connectivity.
Optimising crown-of-thorns starfish control effort on the Great Barrier Reef
Abstract Outbreaks of crown-of-thorns starfish Acanthaster planci (COTS), a disruptive coral-eating predator, are responsible for almost half of total coral cover loss on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. As the pressures of climate change continue to intensify the frequency and severity of disturbance events such as cyclones and coral bleaching, efficiently managing COTS outbreaks is essential for reef protection.
Simulating animal movement trajectories from temporally dynamic step selection functions
Abstract Animals display temporally dynamic behaviour over daily and seasonal timescales, which influences their movements, distribution and home ranging behaviour. Developing predictive models that include temporal dynamics on these processes allows for a more realistic and informative representation of an animal's behaviour, which can also provide more accurate predictions for times that are relevant to conservation management actions.
Simulating animal movement trajectories from temporally dynamic step selection functions
Abstract Animals display temporally dynamic behaviour over daily and seasonal timescales, which typically affect their movements, distribution and home ranging behaviour. There has also been increasing interest in simulating stochastic movement paths from step selection functions (SSFs), but there has yet to be consideration for step selection models that include temporally dynamic processes of movement, habitat selection and memory in a unified way.
Simulating animal movement trajectories from temporally dynamic step selection functions
Abstract There has been increasing interest in simulating stochastic movement paths from step selection models. Hitherto, models used to simulate trajectories have not included temporally dynamic coefficients on both the movement and external selection processes, despite animals having temporally dynamic behaviour over daily or seasonal timescales.
Cleveland Guardians 2024 Preseason Top 30 Prospects 21-25 - Waiting For Next Year
I recognize it has been over a month since my last installment of revealing my top 30 Cleveland Guardians prospects for the 2024 season. I apologize, however, the extra time has allowed for me to do some extra research, and for some new information to come to light about some members of this list.
Fish aggregating devices could enhance the effectiveness of blue water marine protected areas
1 INTRODUCTION The open ocean is under unprecedented threat from human activities. The creation of blue water marine protected areas (MPAs; Figure 1) has been an important part of the response to this threat (Wagner, 2013). Blue water MPAs are large-scale (> 100,000 km2) protected areas that encompass open ocean, pelagic ecosystems, although they are often centered upon oceanic islands, reefs, or seamounts.
This Week in Guardians Baseball: Opening Day
The 2023 MLB season is upon us with the Cleveland Guardians looking to push forward their youthful approach to roster management. Sporting the league’s youngest 40-man roster and among the bottom-5 payrolls in all of baseball, the 2022 team was surprisingly competitive as they won the AL Central division, while 17 prospects made their major league debut. The 2023 team will have higher expectations and a target affixed to them; can they continue the success?
On the brink: Takeaways from the Browns' 16-10 loss to Baltimore
Where to begin?… In an early-season run that feels like a whole lifetime ago, the Cleveland Browns were 3-1 and leading the Chargers 42-35 with just over four minutes to play. Things seemed to be exactly where everyone had hoped they would be following a season that saw the Browns a couple of plays short of the AFC Championship game.
Football was Played: Takeaways from the Browns' 13-10 win over Detroit
6-5. Honestly, that’s the only takeaway that we should have as a whole. The old adage of “wins never come easy” certainly applies here. But, there were certain expectations that a game against a 0-8-1 Detriot Lions team would have a final score a little more favorable to the Browns than the 13-10 one we got. Let’s get to it, shall we? Well actually, before we get fully into what I saw, I have a bit of a confession: I didn’t watch the game live today.
Sweet Release: Takeaways from the Browns' 41-16 win over Cincinnati
Wow….was that needed. It had been a long time since we’ve seen that kind of Browns game. In Kevin Stefanski’s, still relatively short, tenure, the 41-16 beatdown the Browns put on the Bengals represents his biggest win and it couldn’t have come at a better time or against a more opportune opponent. Without further ado, let’s get into my takeaways… A lot of last week reeked of “Old Browns”.
'I got a rock': Takeaways from the Browns' 15-10 loss to Pittsburgh
On my way to the local Browns Backers meetup spot today, I heard a sudden pop within my driver’s door and the window slowly began to slide down. When I pressed the button to have it go back up, I heard an ominous grinding noise as the motors within the door that operate the window seemed to misfire and break apart. At the time, I didn’t think anything of it other than it would be tomorrow’s problem.
By Any Means Necessary: Takeaways from the Browns' 17-14 win over Denver
Cleveland certainly has a weird and, at times, memorable history with Thursday Night Football. Dating back to 2006, the Browns have played 12 games on Thursday night. Honestly, the most shocking part about those 12 games is that the Browns are 7-5, but I digress. Looking back through the list of games the Browns have played on Thursday, a few stick out.
Grievance Room 03: The Council of Grievance Convenes...
After a Browns loss, the takes fly hard and fast, filling Twitter timelines with all forms of apologists, head-hunters, trolls, and hot-take artists. It’s enough to drive any fan mad if they’re unable to tune it out. I’m not sure there’s another fan base that collapses in on itself quite like the Browns, but man, can it be entertaining.
Beaten and Battered: Takeaways from the Browns' 37-14 loss to Arizona.
Every week up until now, I’ve tried to start my takeaways articles with some kind of over-arching theme or a part of the game we just watched that I thought should be mentioned, but didn’t quite have enough meat on it to be a full-fledged takeaway. Well…this week, I’ve got nothin’. The Cleveland Browns were thoroughly beaten against the Cardinals Sunday afternoon, plain and simple. So, sparing everyone a diatribe that could devolve into obscenities, let’s just get to the bullet points.
Pain: Takeaways from the Browns' 47-42 loss to Los Angeles
136 plays were run on the turf of SoFi Stadium on Sunday afternoon, all with varying degrees of significance to the game’s ultimate outcome. But, before we get into the things that the players on the field can actually control, let’s vent for a minute. With 9:10 to play in the game, the Browns should have taken over possession at the Chargers’ 41 leading 35-28 – if not for a bogus defensive pass interference call, that is.
Skol, Browns: Takeaways from the Browns' 14-7 win over Minnesota
The Browns won on Sunday. It might have been frustrating, ugly, and at times, boring, but the thing from the 14-7 win over the Vikings on October 3 come early January of 2022 when the Browns are, God willing, heading back to the playoffs and jockeying for seeding in the AFC is that the Browns got a W in Minnesota.
Blood in the Water: Takeaways from the Browns' 26-6 win over Chicago
Shortly before the final kneel down was taken by backup quarterback Case Keenum, I began racking my brain on whether or not Sunday’s 26-6 win over the Chicago Bears was the most dominant Browns win I had seen in my life. After first recognizing that a 20-point victory has been a rarity in my time watching the team, I decided to sift through all of the seasons since 1999, simply just to see how many other games are in that category. The answer is nine.
We Take Those: Takeaways from the Browns' 31-21 win over Houston
I’m sure there were plenty of people out there, including me, that were hoping for, and to a certain extent banking on, an easy viewing experience on Sunday afternoon. After all, the Cleveland Browns had just played the Chiefs as well as fans could have possibly hoped for only to still lose the game last weekend and the Texans were coming to Cleveland with an average-at-best roster to face the full might of a Dawg Pound crowd that hasn’t had this kind of team to cheer for in decades.
Bittersweet: Takeaways from the Browns' 33-29 loss in Kansas City
Well, that was fun. At least until it wasn’t, that is. I know that losing, especially a game that the Cleveland Browns led by 12 in the fourth quarter, isn’t fun, but there were a lot of things that happened between 4:25 and 7:30 on Sunday afternoon and I would consider very, very few of them to reflect negatively on the Browns. They went into one of the most hostile environments in the NFL and more or less dominated one of the league’s best teams for roughly 50 minutes.
Takeaways from the Browns' 17-13 preseason win over the Giants
Man, was it nice to see fans in FirstEnergy Stadium again, right? Football returned to the shores of Lake Erie on Sunday as the Cleveland Browns rounded out a week of joint practices with the New York Giants with a preseason game that Cleveland won, 17-13. With a large portion of those that will start for the team in Kansas City in three weeks’ time not participating in the game, it was yet another solid showing for the Browns’ reserves.
Grievance Room 02: The Trials & Tribulations of Drafting Well
Welcome back to the Grievance Room! It’s been….*checks calendar*…a little over a month, which definitely stomps all over my “this will be a bi-weekly series” statement that I made in the intro of Grievance #1. But, in my defense, there hasn’t been an awful lot going on that has caused me even the slightest bit of annoyance in the last handful of weeks. The Browns are a functioning organization at the moment, so the normal shenanigans that happen in July and August have been largely absent.
One Play Away: Trusting Case Keenum
*nervously clears throat* Ok, before you all light your torches and grab your pitchforks,1 nowhere in this article am I going to make any outrageous claims that disparage Baker Mayfield. After the second half of the season that he had last year, and nearly leading the Browns to a playoff win in Kansas City, I have nothing but confidence that he’s the guy for 2021 and WAY beyond. However, in the NFL, you are never more than one play away from relying on your backup quarterback.
Covert rewilding of Tasmanian devils to the Australian mainland may remain undetectable for years
Credit: Shutterstock Tasmanian devil populations have been devastated over the past 25 years due to devil facial tumor disease, an infectious cancer. But the Tasmanian government does not support relocating uninfected wild devil populations to the Australian mainland. Wildlife vigilantes have, however, already illegally moved Tasmanian devils off the island—an illegal practice known as "covert rewilding." They may well might try again. My recent research has examined this possibility.

Grievance Room 01: Welcome to The Grievance Room
Time for a brief story. When my dad unretired (for the first time), he took on a job in Cleveland that required him to travel there from South Carolina every couple of weeks. After a while of spending two weeks at a time in a hotel every time he went to Ohio, he decided to upgrade by renting an old house above a bar. Being that he lived in that house alone, there was plenty of room for activities.
Get to The Dunker Spot (Or: How I embraced my bounce)
I love this time of year. These halcyon late-May days, early in the NBA playoffs, when we’re treated to weeks full of double-, triple-, even quadrupleheaders. Some games inevitably feature low-seeded roadkill, but even so, the increased intensity level of the postseason cannot be denied.
Tom Hamilton Joins the Dery Brothers to talk Tribe
The one and only Tom Hamilton recently joined the Dery Brothers on the Waiting For Next Year podcast feed to talk about the Indians. The boys ask Tom about what he’s seen in Spring Training this year. They discuss the battle for first base between Bauers and Bradley, the trade of Francisco Lindor, and so much more. This is a podcast episode you won’t want to miss!
Joe Tait's voice always meant basketball time
Joe Tait, the legendary radio voice of the Cavs, has died at age 83. Terry Pluto’s recent story on Joe is worth reading, as is Mary Schmitt Boyer’s obituary; some of the quotes and details below are pulled from those sources. I can’t find it online anywhere now, but I’m as sure as can be that it existed at some point. On an older version of the Cavs website, there was a page with clips, likely in .wav format, of Joe Tait’s greatest calls.
Catching up on the Cavs and the NBA Draft with Justin Rowan - The Nail in the Coffin, Episode 185
After eight months, finally—FINALLY!—things are happening with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The NBA’s trade moratorium is about to be lifted, the draft is on Wednesday night, and free agency isn’t far behind.
Long-term shifts in the colony size structure of coral populations along the Great Barrier Reef
Restricted accessResearch articles Abstract The age or size structure of a population has a marked influence on its demography and reproductive capacity. While declines in coral cover are well documented, concomitant shifts in the size-frequency distribution of coral colonies are rarely measured at large spatial scales. Here, we document major shifts in the colony size structure of coral populations along the 2300 km length of the Great Barrier Reef relative to historical baselines (1995/1996).
A connectivity portfolio effect stabilizes marine reserve performance
Bayesian analysis of the chronology of life’s emergence and development on Earth suggests that if Earth’s history were repeated, the emergence of intelligence might be a sufficiently rare event that it would not be guaranteed to reoccur.

In Defense of The Cleveland Guardians
Dear Mr. Dolan, On July 3, the Cleveland Indians released a statement that in the wake of civil unrest and corporate soul searching the team would begin meetings to “determine the best path forward with regard to our team name.” It then stands to reason that the front office is taking a long look at the “Indians” moniker, and for the first time in 105 years there is a legitimate chance of a name change.

Your morning reminder that the Indians are good: While We're Waiting
While some see nothing more than a chore, making your bed can be a philosophical bedrock. Everything might go wrong throughout your day with most events well outside the scope of your control. However, coming home to a well-made bed is on you. Control what you can. Don’t worry about the rest. There is a lot about rooting for a sports team outside this scope. The overall payroll can be a collective byproduct of the fans, but no individual will alter the calculus.
