A Meta‐Analysis and Systematic Review of Single‐Session Interventions for Eating Disorders

International Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background There is a critical gap between the need for eating disorder (ED) treatment and provider availability. Single‐Session Interventions (SSIs) are structured programs intentionally designed for a single client encounter and show promise for filling ED‐treatment and prevention gaps by enhancing accessibility of evidence‐based ...

Astragalus ecomorphology in Quaternary elephantids

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The astragalus plays a fundamental role in the graviportal locomotion of proboscideans, reflecting the biomechanical constraints imposed by large body masses. This study analyses the morphological variability of the astragalus in Quaternary elephantids using linear biometry and 3D geometric morphometrics, incorporating an unpublished ...

Partial recovery of large seed arrival following ecological restoration in fragmented tropical rainforests

Oikos, EarlyView.
Forest restoration success depends crucially on the reinitiation of ecological processes such as seed arrival that drive natural regeneration. We know little about whether, by increasing and diversifying local seed sources to alleviate seed limitation, and attracting animal frugivores to alleviate dispersal limitation, restoration could shift seed ...

Multi-scale habitat selection and constraints of a small Asian elephant population in Yunnan Nangunhe National Nature Reserve, China

Global Ecology and Conservation
The Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) populations in Yunnan Nangunhe National Nature Reserve (NNNR) represents the smallest known population in China and geographically isolated from other Asian elephant populations, potentially leading to their gradual ...

Is nonlinear propagation responsible for the brassiness of elephant trumpet calls? [PDF]

, 2014
African elephants (Loxodonta africana) produce a broad diversity of sounds ranging from infrasonic rumbles to much higher frequency trumpets. Trumpet calls are very loud voiced signals given by highly aroused elephants, and appear to be produced by a ...

Community perceptions and management of the fleshy‐fruited invasive alien plant Pyracantha angustifolia: Insights from South Africa's Montane grasslands

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Invasive alien plants can provide economic or cultural benefits to local communities, influencing perceptions and potentially affecting management decisions. Understanding these perceptions is crucial to avoiding inefficiencies, misunderstandings and conflicts in the management of invasive alien species.

Clinical health issues, reproductive hormones, and metabolic hormones associated with gut microbiome structure in African and Asian elephants

Animal Microbiome, 2021
Background The gut microbiome is important to immune health, metabolism, and hormone regulation. Understanding host–microbiome relationships in captive animals may lead to mediating long term health issues common in captive animals.
