ABSTRACT This study expands the known distribution of the nonnative millipede Prosopodesmus jacobsoni in Brazil and reports its presence in cave environments for the first time in the country. Based on recently collected material and historical records, the species is shown to maintain stable populations in subterranean systems in the states of ...

Assessing water quality in aquifers has become increasingly important as water demand and pollution concerns rise. In the Yucatan Peninsula, sinkholes, locally known as cenotes, are karst formations that intercept the water table. Cenotes are distributed

The Evolution of Epigean and Stygobitic Species of Koonunga Sayce, 1907 (Syncarida: Anaspidacea) in Southern Australia, with the Description of Three New Species. [PDF]
Three new species of Koonunga were discovered in surface and subterranean waters in southern Australia, and were defined using mtDNA analyses and morphology. The new species are: Koonunga hornei Leijs & King; K.

Clumped Isotope Temperature Reconstruction Using Stalagmite Drip Cups
ABSTRACT Rationale Application of clumped isotope palaeothermometry to speleothems (carbonate cave deposits, e.g., stalagmites and flowstones) has been restricted largely to subaqueous samples because of kinetic fractionation processes that occur during subaerial speleothem formation, which lead to erroneously high inferred temperatures.

This study evaluates how human activities impact margay (Leopardus wiedii) distribution in the Yucatán Peninsula, revealing habitat loss due to agriculture but also recolonization opportunities in abandoned lands. Species distribution models show range contraction (2010–2023), yet margays demonstrate resilience near disturbed habitats.

Multi‐Scale Habitat Selection of Greater Caribbean Manatees in Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, Mexico
ABSTRACT Habitat selection describes population distribution as a function of environmental features. It is a fundamental process with primordial ecological and evolutionary implications. To accurately describe habitat selection, it is important to identify temporal and spatial scales perceived by the population and use these scales when modeling ...

La información biológica disponible para los cenotes de la península de Yucatán es escasa; espacial, como temporalmente. Esto se debe principalmente a que en la península de Yucatán existen más de 7,000 cenotes; por lo cual, para la comunidad científica ...

Exploring Marine Mammal Cognition as a Conservation Tool
ABSTRACT Cognition is an animal's real‐time adaptation system for responding to change. Rapid environmental change, often anthropogenic, is expanding the range and severity of challenges confronting wild animals. Effective conservation requires a multifaceted approach that includes animals' capacities.
