Functional and phylogenetic convergence of winter and breeding bird communities in the northeastern US

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 10, October 2025.
Around the world, ecological communities are becoming more similar to one another in a process known as biotic homogenization – an increase in similarity among communities over time. While biotic homogenization has been widely studied among spatial communities, very little attention has been paid to beta diversity between seasonal communities ...

Behavioral patterns of two fiddler crab species Uca rapax and Uca tangeri in a seminatural mangrove system

open access: yesZoo Biology, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 343-354, July/August 2019., 2019
Mean individuals of visible Uca rapax crabs per hour Zoos increasingly transform their exhibitions from traditional one‐species enclosures to more natural exhibits, that is, environments that capture part of an ecosystem including a selection of animals and plants that occur there.

Novel 4,5‐Dihydrothiazole‐Phenylpiperazine Derivatives: Synthesis, Docking Studies and Pharmacological Evaluation as Serotonergic Agents

open access: yesChemMedChem, Volume 20, Issue 15, August 2, 2025.
The synthesis of a new series of 4,5‐dihydrothiazol‐2‐ylphenylpiperazine derivatives as serotoninergic ligands is described and tested for their affinity toward 5‐HT1A, 5‐HT2A,and 5‐HT2C and selected for further in vivo assays to determine their functional activity. The pharmacological studies highlight that among the developed derivatives, FG‐7 and FG‐

Critical Velocity and Backlayering Conditions in Rail Tunnel Fires: State‐of‐the‐Art Review

open access: yesJournal of Combustion, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
The use of interurban and urban trains has become the preferred choice for millions of daily commuters around the world. Despite the huge public investment for train technology and mayor rail infrastructure (e.g., tunnels), train safety is still a subject of concern. The work described herein reviews the state of the art on research related to critical

Antibiotic–Polycationic Peptide Conjugation as an Effective Strategy to Overcome Daptomycin Resistance

open access: yesAdvanced Therapeutics, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2025.
Antimicrobial resistance necessitates the development of new antibiotics with “resistance‐breaking” properties. In this study, conjugation of polycationic peptides is proven to represent a versatile strategy for the fast and affordable reactivation of daptomycin.

Concurrent radiological and ultrasonographical findings in the forelimb proximal sesamoid bones and adjacent suspensory ligament branches in yearling and 2‐year‐old Thoroughbred sales horses

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, Volume 57, Issue 3, Page 654-665, May 2025.
Abstract Background Changes in the proximal sesamoid bones (sesamoids) and the insertional region of the adjacent suspensory ligament branch (branch) are of particular importance in young Thoroughbreds sold at public auction. Little is known about the prevalence of concurrent ultrasonographical branch change, relative to the various grades of ...

Swift sampling of farmland aerial invertebrates offers insights into foraging behaviour in an aerial insectivore

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2024, Issue 5, September 2024.
The common swift Apus apus is an obligate aerial, migratory, insectivorous bird, that has experienced significant declines in the UK since the 1990s. Reductions in the availability of prey during their summer breeding season in the UK are likely to be a key factor in this decline.

FlockSeer: A portable stereo vision observer for bird flocking

open access: yesIET Cyber-Systems and Robotics, Volume 6, Issue 3, September 2024.
Abstract Bird flocking is a paradigmatic case of self‐organised collective behaviours in biology. Stereo camera systems are employed to observe flocks of starlings, jackdaws, and chimney swifts, mainly on a spot‐fixed basis. A portable non‐fixed stereo vision‐based flocking observation system, namely FlockSeer, is developed by the authors for observing

Preclinical efficacy profiles of the sigma‐1 modulator E1R and of fenfluramine in two chronic mouse epilepsy models

open access: yesEpilepsia, Volume 65, Issue 8, Page 2470-2482, August 2024.
Abstract Objective Given its key homeostatic role affecting mitochondria, ionotropic and metabotropic receptors, and voltage‐gated ion channels, sigma‐1 receptor (Sig1R) represents an interesting target for epilepsy management. Antiseizure effects of the positive allosteric modulator E1R have already been reported in acute seizure models.
