Some factors affecting the distribution and apparent abundance of yellowfin and skipjack tuna in the Eastern Pacific Ocean [PDF]

, 1964
ENGLISH: Since 1951, the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission has been investigating the biology, ecology and population dynamics of the yellowfin tuna, Thunnus albacares, and the skipjack tuna, Katsuwonus pelamis, in the Eastern Pacific Ocean.

High Humidity Exacerbates Psoriasiform Skin Disease Relapse by Increasing Tissue‐Resident Memory T Cells via Altering Skin Microbiota

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We demonstrated that high humidity worsened psoriasis relapse in murine psoriasiform skin inflammation by increasing skin‐resident memory CD8+ cells via upregulating IL‐15Rα on keratinocytes. The increases in IL‐15Rα and memory CD8+ cells were attributed to S. nepalensis and its metabolite ADMA in skin exposed to high humidity.

Exploring black kite (Milvus migrans) dynamics: Seasonal abundance and habitat preferences in an urban gradient

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity
Urban expansion globally has altered biodiversity by transforming urban habitats, leading to habitat loss and changes in ecological systems. Black kites (Milvus migrans) are adaptable raptors across diverse landscapes, from natural to highly urbanized ...

Organic farming enhances parasitoid diversity at the local and landscape scales [PDF]

, 2015
1. The magnitude of the benefits derived from organic farming within contrasting managed landscapes remains unclear and, in particular, the potential scale-dependent response of insect parasitoids is relatively unexplored.

Rapid Remodeling of the Human Gut Microbiome in Response to Short‐Term Animal Product Restriction and Associations with Host Molecular Phenotypes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A real‐world model of structured animal product restriction practiced for religious reasons reveals the dynamic adaptability of the human gut microbiome to dietary change and uncovers reductions in diversity and rare taxa loss. Integrated microbiome, metabolomic, and proteomic analyses uncover coordinated taxonomic and molecular shifts and identify ...

Remotely piloted aircraft improve precision of capture–mark–resight population estimates of Australian fur seals

Ecosphere, 2019
Remotely piloted aircraft (RPA or drones) have become a powerful tool for use in spatial and temporal ecology. Major benefits for environmental management, including improved accuracy and precision for population monitoring of fauna, are being realized ...

Dietary composition of birds in isolated ecosystems: a case study of Black Wood Pigeon in Republic of Korea

Ecosystem Health and Sustainability, 2020
We studied the feeding ecology of the Black Wood Pigeon (Columba janthina), a species endemic to the East Asian Pacific Islands, and determined the species’ dietary composition and food preferences on Ulleung Island, South Korea, through field ...

Alternating High‐Fat and Polysaccharide Diets Modulates Gut Phage‐Bacterial Interplay

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals how alternating high‐fat and polysaccharide diets reshape the human gut virome and enhance phage‐bacteria interactions. Using large‐scale metagenomic meta‐analysis and a time‐resolved mouse model, the authors show that diets strongly modulate phage abundance, lifestyle, and gene exchange, offering new insights into nutrition‐guided ...

Arboreal twig-nesting ants form dominance hierarchies over nesting resources. [PDF]

, 2019
Interspecific dominance hierarchies have been widely reported across animal systems. High-ranking species are expected to monopolize more resources than low-ranking species via resource monopolization. In some ant species, dominance hierarchies have been
