Microclimate drives demographic compensation in a narrow endemic tropical species. [PDF]

open access: yesNew Phytol
Summary Demographic compensation occurs when reductions in some vital rates are offset by increases in others, allowing populations to maintain similar performance across varying environments. This mechanism may help explain species' ecological distributions and range limits, yet its role at microenvironmental scales remains poorly understood.

Does Ivermectin Pollute the Surroundings of Swine Farms? [PDF]

open access: yesVet Med Sci
This study assessed ivermectin residues in faeces and environmental samples from intensive swine farms in Emilia‐Romagna, Italy. Faecal concentrations varied by administration route, with oral treatment leading to higher early excretion. Residues in fertilised soil sometimes exceeded ecotoxic thresholds, highlighting environmental risks and the need ...

Controversies and hidden risks in biodiversity offsets in critically threatened Canga (ironstone) ecosystems in Brazil

open access: yesOryx, 2023
Canga, or ironstone, ecosystems are hotspots of old-growth plant diversity and highly specialized cave invertebrates. These ancient metalliferous habitats are amongst the most threatened ecosystems because of the destruction caused by large-scale iron ...

Image fusion in the JPEG 2000 domain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This paper presents a novel approach to image fusion in the JPEG 2000 domain. In this scheme, compressed images are fused without the need for full decompression. The proposed method can be integrated with the existing JPEG 2000 tools.
