Tetrapod Diversity in the Atlantic Forest: Maps and Gaps

, 2021
The Atlantic Forest is a heterogeneous and complex vegetation mosaic caused by variety of climatic, geomorphological, and edaphic conditions. It has long been known that the Atlantic Forest has one of the most diversified biotas on the planet, presenting high levels of endemism.

Flight of the dragons: a global review of migration in Odonata

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Insects are the most abundant and ecologically important animal migrants. Yet, we know relatively little about the patterns and processes underlying insect migration. Dragonflies (Anisoptera) and damselflies (Zygoptera) comprise the ancient insect order Odonata, whose ancestors were the first organisms to fly on Earth.

Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Tracking insect outbreaks: a case study of community-assisted moth monitoring using sex pheromone traps

FACETS, 2020
Insect outbreaks can cover vast geographic areas making it onerous to cost-effectively monitor populations to address management or ecological questions.

Analyzing the Development of a Sustainable Enterprise in an Emerging Economy: Black Cacau and the Bean‐to‐Bar Philosophy

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines sustainable entrepreneurship (SE) in emerging economies through the case of Black Cacau, a Brazilian bean‐to‐bar enterprise integrating agroforestry, direct trade, and Afro‐Brazilian cultural empowerment. Adapting the Patagonia‐based framework of Allal‐Chérif et al., the study explores how SE operates under conditions of ...

Embryonic development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Starfish play essential ecological roles as predators and ecosystem regulators; however, detailed developmental descriptions exist for only a handful of species, none of which are from the Mediterranean Sea. Results In this study, we provide the first full account of the development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata ...

A shining starlet: Nematostella vectensis as a model for developmental, regenerative, and comparative biology

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract The sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis, has been used as a model organism in developmental biology studies for many years. This estuarine species has the notable capacity to regenerate its full body plan from small pieces throughout life. Nematostella have been described as having a great degree of cellular plasticity.

Epidemiology of Intensive Nutritional Interventions and Restraints in Hospitalizations for Anorexia Nervosa: Annual National Trends of the United States

International Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Despite the clinical relevance of enteral and parenteral tube feeding and restraint use in anorexia nervosa (AN), national‐level data on their use have remained limited, particularly for total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG).
