Streptozotocin induced hyperglycemia in the axolotl
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Diabetes is a group of diseases characterized by loss of β cell mass and/or function, resulting in hyperglycemia. With no established curative treatment, this has initiated research in β cell regeneration. Current animal models have either limited regenerative capacity (mice) or small size and evolutionary distance from humans ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Species diversity typically increases from higher to lower latitudes, but the regional‐scale variation along this geographic gradient remains unclear. It has been suggested that species diversity throughout Amazonia generally increases westward toward the Andes, but this pattern and its environmental determinants require further investigation for most ...

Alpine ungulates adjust diel activity to the natural return of wolves amid anthropogenic pressures
Ecography, EarlyView.As wolves recolonise their historical range across Europe, ungulates face predation once more – but in landscapes profoundly altered by human activity. This shift raises crucial questions about their capacity to express adaptive antipredator behaviours.

Landscape‐level habitat connectivity of large mammals in Chitwan Annapurna Landscape, Nepal
Ecology and EvolutionThe populations of many species of large mammals occur in small isolated and fragmented habitat patches in the human‐dominated landscape. Maintenance of habitat connectivity in the fragmented landscapes is important for maintaining a healthy population ...

From shadows to data: first robust population assessment of snow leopards in Pakistan
Ecography, EarlyView.The snow leopard Panthera uncia is a flagship species of the greater Himalayan region and symbolizes the integrity of this ecological system. Within the greater Himalayas, Pakistan holds special significance as the north of the country represents a confluence of three major mountain ranges (Hindu Kush, Pamir–Karakoram, and Himalaya).

An evaluation of hunter surveys to monitor relative abundance of bobcats
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2016 We examined the utility of bobcat (Lynx rufus) detections by deer hunters in New Hampshire, USA, as an index of relative abundance. To validate the index, we compared the number of hunter outings that detected bobcats per 1,000 outings (hunting seasons ...

Dogs Never Gets Prion Diseases. The Entropic Landscape Analysis of Prion Proteins Answers Why. [PDF]
, 2009 The Entropic Landscape Analysis was applied to the prion protein sequences of various mammals in order to detect potential sites of variants that would be responsible for the susceptibility of prion disease infection.

How much species' biodiversity could area targets protect globally?
Ecography, EarlyView.Protection targets for addressing biodiversity loss include protecting at least 30% of the land and ocean in ecologically representative areas, but do not specify how many or what proportion of species should be protected from extinction. Here, a systematic analysis of 77 880 marine, freshwater and terrestrial species indicates that all species could ...

Yellowstone grizzly delisting rhetoric: An analysis of the online debate
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2013 The Yellowstone ecosystem is a hotbed of environmental issues and conflicts such as endangered species management. The Yellowstone grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) delisting debate illustrates how rhetoric can contribute to fragmentation and ...
