Complementary role of environmental DNA for line-transect bird surveys: A field test in a Japanese rice landscape

Ecological Indicators
Monitoring and conserving bird biodiversity in rice landscapes is a global challenge. Although environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding can potentially provide a sensitive and comprehensive assessment of bird biodiversity in farmlands, there is a lack of ...

MicroCT reinvestigation of the only articulated fossil anostomid fish reveals synonymy of Arhinolemur Ameghino, 1898 and Megaleporinus Ramirez et al., 2017

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Arhinolemur scalabrinii† Ameghino, 1898 was originally described as a strepsirrhine primate (Mammalia) but has been recognized as an anostomid fish since 2012. It remains the only extinct anostomid species known from complete cranial material.

QUALITATIVE MORPHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS AND DOCUMENTATION OF FEATHERS OF FLYING AND AQUATIC BIRDS

, 2021
Feathers are the most characteristic attribute of birds and display a wide variety of morphologies. Functions of feathers are universal in birds; they embody thermal insulation, temperature regulation, physical protection against the surroundings ...

Can sacrificial feeding areas protect aquatic plants from herbivore grazing? Using behavioural ecology to inform wildlife management [PDF]

, 2014
Effective wildlife management is needed for conservation, economic and human well-being objectives. However, traditional population control methods are frequently ineffective, unpopular with stakeholders, may affect non-target species, and can be both ...

Clade‐wide morphological and functional variation of the sauropsid columella

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The columella (=stapes) is the middle ear bone of reptiles that transmits vibrations from the environment to the inner ear. It has been shown to exhibit extensive interspecific morphological disparity in several clades; however, its morphological variation and associated functional consequences remain poorly described.

Exploring the cranial morphology and possible convergences of Triassic non‐crocodylomorph pseudosuchians (Archosauria: Pseudosuchia) with other sauropsids through linear morphometrics

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Triassic pseudosuchians had highly diversified cranial morphologies. These archosaurs occupied diverse ecological roles, ranging from terrestrial predators and herbivores to semiaquatic ambush predators and possible waders. Here, we apply linear cranial morphometrics to assess possible convergences with other sauropsids from the clades ...

Morphological and physico-chemical properties of British aquatic habitats potentially exposed to pesticides. [PDF]

, 2006
Approaches to describe the exposure of non-target aquatic organisms to agricultural pesticides can be limited by insufficient knowledge of the environmental conditions where the compounds are used.
