Understanding Indigenous knowledge of conservation and stewardship before implementing co-production with Western methodologies in resource management by Stafford Maracle, Jennifer Maracle, Stephen Lougheed

“…Long-standing Indigenous knowledge and philosophies offer alternate world­views that can complement Western con­servation and resource management and may strengthen efforts to restore environmental integ­rity and conserve species and ecosystems. Researchers often tout the co-production of knowledge with Indigenous collaborators using frameworks like the Kaswentha (Two Row Wampum—Haudenosau­nee) and the Etuaptmumk (Two Eyed Seeing—Mi’kmaw) without first seek­ing to understand the foundations of Indigenous knowledge itself, and its deep roots in environmen­tal sustainability. …”

Discovery of Evolutionary Loss of the Ubiquitin-like Autophagy-Related ATG12 System in a Lineage of Apicomplexa by Xiaoxia X. Lin, Yun D. Bai, Sichang T. Wang, Akira Nozawa, Tatsuya Sawasaki, Tatsunori Masatani, Kenji Hikosaka, Masahito Asada, Hirokazu Sakamoto

“…However, our in vitro functional analysis using recombinant proteins demonstrated that ATG3 retained the ability to interact with ATG8 in <i>Babesia bovis</i>, a model species in piroplasmida. These findings provide evidence that the ATG8 system is functional, while the ATG12 system is completely lost in the common ancestor of piroplasmida and highlight the evolutionary flexibility of the ATG12 system in Apicomplexa.…”
