Captive Breeding of the Chinese Alligator Reduces Inbreeding but Increases Genetic Load

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Captive breeding of the Chinese alligator successfully reduced genomic inbreeding but increased the burden of deleterious mutations. Genomic analyses indicate that managing both genetic diversity and genetic load is essential for the long‐term conservation of this critically endangered species.

Bioclimatic approach of passive cooling techniques for the design of buildings in southern Algeria

International Journal of Energetica, 2021
The bioclimatic approach looks into the opportunities for building conception under the local climatic conditions. The first bioclimatic chart has been developed by Olgyay which combines temperature with relative humidity to characterize the comfort zone.

Predicting Mammal Species Suitable for Chagas Disease Spread Using a Machine‐Learning Framework

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Chagas disease is maintained in wildlife by Trypanosoma cruzi cycling among many mammal species, but we still do not know the full range of potential hosts. Using machine learning and ecological/behavioral traits, we found that kissing bugs overlap with 573 mammal species and tend to feed on mammals that are den‐dwelling, medium‐to‐large in size, and ...

Perspectives of increasing energy efficiency on designing new and reconstruction of present city districts: World experiences and local recommendations [PDF]

Arhitektura i Urbanizam, 2006
With 20th century along came a significant increase of energy consumption and a serious ecological crisis caused by the extensive usage of fossil fuels (oil, coal). Because of that, many countries have declared regulations to lower the traditional energy

Climate Change and Dispersal Limitation Reshape Future Habitat Accessibility for Lady Amherst's Pheasant (Chrysolophus amherstiae) in China

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We combined occurrence records across China with multisource environmental variables using ensemble species distribution modeling, optimal‐parameter geographical detector analysis, and dispersal simulations to estimate future habitat accessibility for Lady Amherst's Pheasant (Chrysolophus amherstiae). ABSTRACT Montane forest birds are highly vulnerable

Microbiome Dynamics During Translocation of the Critically Endangered Frog Craugastor ranoides

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
A female Craugastor ranoides fitted with an LB‐2X radio transmitter using a silicone waist‐belt harness for post‐translocation monitoring. ABSTRACT Amphibian populations are declining, and species are going extinct due to habitat loss, climate change, and emerging infectious disease, prompting the increasing use of translocations as a conservation tool.
