Gonadal development in scorpion mud‐turtles, Kinosternon scorpioides, in a controlled environment

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Stage 20 was identified as the critical point for gonadal differentiation in Kinosternon scorpioides, providing key insights into sex determination. These findings enhance conservation strategies by supporting reproductive management and population viability in both in situ and ex situ programs. Abstract Research on gonadal development including sexual

Predator‐specific mortality of sage‐grouse nests based on predator DNA on eggshells

Ecology and Evolution
Greater sage‐grouse (hereafter sage‐grouse; Centrocercus urophasianus) populations have declined across their range. Increased nest predation as a result of anthropogenic land use is one mechanism proposed to explain these declines.

Gleaning the Rocky Shore? 2500 Years of Coastal Resource Use at Red Bluff 1, GunaiKurnai Country, SE Australia

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shell middens in Gippsland along the eastern half of Victoria's coastline have usually been characterised as small, short‐duration camp sites with relatively low shell densities and low taxonomic diversity. Here we present new excavation results from a dense, high‐diversity site at Red Bluff near the eastern end of GunaiKurnai Country, a ...

Temperatures inside little penguin Eudyptula minor artificial nest habitats exceed upper thermal limits in a range edge population

Journal of Avian Biology
Rising global temperatures will have profound impacts on species and ecosystem functioning. Species existing near their thermal thresholds will be particularly vulnerable to these changes, and those species that rely on, or preferentially use, artificial

Zooarchaeological Analysis of an Atoll Assemblage From Central Micronesia

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There has been a dearth of archaeological research on atolls in the central‐eastern Caroline Islands of Micronesia. This has limited our understanding of pre‐contact subsistence and settlement strategies in these more marginal and remote environments, particularly in regards to zooarchaeological data.

EFFECTS OF SUPPLEMENTAL DEER FEEDERS ON SURVIVAL OF ARTIFICIAL GROUND NESTS IN SOUTHEASTERN ARKANSAS

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2015
: Supplemental feeding of white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus; hereafter, deer) is a popular management tool to alleviate real or perceived nutrient deficiencies and to influence temporal and spatial dynamics of deer distribution during hunting ...

Potential contribution of biomass gasification‐based technology in energy transition: a technical review coupled with bibliometric studies

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Biomass gasification technology has been extensively researched around the world; however, there is a need to evaluate the current research landscape and evolutionary direction of research in the broader context of energy transition. A systematic bibliometric analysis of the Web of Science database was performed for articles that fall within ...

Distribution and transmission of American foulbrood in honey bees [PDF]

, 2006
The distribution of Paenibacillus larvae spores, the causative agent of American foulbrood, was studied on three different levels in the honey bee system; the apiary level, the colony level and the individual honey bee level.

Osmia3DNest—Novel designed 3D printed artificial nest for solitary cavity‐nesting bees

Methods in Ecology and Evolution
The availability and appropriateness of nesting sites significantly influence the reproductive success and overall welfare of wild bees. Human‐induced factors contribute to the destruction of natural nesting habitats.

Continual decision‐making dynamics across biological organisms

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Decision‐making is a central function of adaptive behaviour in biological agents. However, strategies for adaptive decision‐making can vary substantially across species. Here, we aim to extend the comparative scope of decision‐making analyses to phylogenetically diverse organisms.
