Barriers and drivers of near-term climate change mitigation: a Canadian case study by Jeffrey Sauer, I Daniel Posen, Shoshanna Saxe

“…This work examines, among twenty decisionmakers involved in developing, operating, or using Canadian infrastructure: (1) ongoing and expected near-term GHG mitigation actions (2) barriers constraining faster change, and (3) mitigation goals and expectations of the near future. Interviews were coded to identify common perspectives. Results indicate that organizations prioritize enabling deep change in a more distant future over executing rapid change, that detailed roadmaps for meeting near-term (e.g. 2030) goals were rare, and that participants view government policy certainty as crucial to near-term action. …”

Two Cases of Lacaziosis in Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Japan by Keiichi Ueda, Ayako Sano, Jyoji Yamate, Eiko Itano Nakagawa, Mitsuru Kuwamura, Takeshi Izawa, Miyuu Tanaka, Yuko Hasegawa, Hiroji Chibana, Yasuharu Izumisawa, Hirokazu Miyahara, Senzo Uchida

“…We diagnosed 2 cases of lacaziosis in bottlenose dolphins captured simultaneously at the same coast within Japanese territory on the basis of clinical characteristics, cytology, histopathology, immunological tests, and detection of partial sequences of a 43 kDa glycoprotein coding gene (gp43) with a nested-PCR system. The granulomatous skin lesions from the present cases were similar to those found in animals from endemic areas, containing multiple budding and chains of round yeast cells and positive in the immune-staining with anti-Paracoccidioides brasiliensis serum which is a fungal species related to L. loboi; however, the gp43 gene sequences derived from the present cases showed 94.1% homology to P. brasiliensis and 84.1% to L. loboi. …”
