Recent studies have demonstrated that the improved prognosis derived from resection of gliomas largely depends on the extent and quality of the resection, making maximum but safe resection the ultimate goal. Simultaneously, technical innovations and refined neurosurgical methods have rapidly improved efficacy and safety. Because gliomas derive from intrinsic brain cells, they often cannot be visually distinguished from the surrounding brain tissue during surgery. In order to appreciate the full extent of their solid compartment, various technologies have recently been introduced. However, radical resection of infiltrative glioma puts neurological function at risk, with potential detrimental consequences for patients' survival and quality of life. The allocation of various neurological functions within the brain varies in each patient and may undergo additional changes in the presence of a tumour (brain plasticity), making intra-operative localisation of eloquent areas mandatory for preservation of essential brain functions. Combining methods that visually distinguish tumour tissue and detect tissues responsible for critical functions now enables resection of tumours in brain regions that were previously considered off-limits, and benefits patients by enabling a more radical resection, while simultaneously lowering the risk of neurological deficits. Here we review recent and expected developments in microsurgery for glioma and their respective benefits.

The conservation of large carnivores is a formidable challenge for biodiversity conservation. Using a data set on the past and current status of brown bears (Ursus arctos), Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx), gray wolves (Canis lupus), and wolverines (Gulo gulo) in European countries, we show that roughly one-third of mainland Europe hosts at least one large carnivore species, with stable or increasing abundance in most cases in 21st-century records. The reasons for this overall conservation success include protective legislation, supportive public opinion, and a variety of practices making coexistence between large carnivores and people possible. The European situation reveals that large carnivores and people can share the same landscape.
