Regulatory compliance and support for altered management of the exotic pet trade
Abstract Globally, the exotic pet trade has contributed to species invasion, disease, and animal welfare risks. Although scientists have advocated for increased trade regulation, the success of management and regulatory efforts depends on compliance by participants in the exotic pet trade. We used a regulatory compliance framework to investigate exotic

Quaternary Ice Ages Shaped Protists Phylogeography: The Case of Arcellinida in the Iberian Peninsula
ABSTRACT The Quaternary glaciations profoundly shaped the biogeography of plants and animals, yet their impact on microbial eukaryotes remains largely unexplored. We tested the “genetic legacy of the Quaternary” (GLQ) paradigm in terrestrial protists using Arcellinida testate amoebae diversity distribution across the Iberian Peninsula, a well ...

This may be especially true when issues of risk and scientific uncertainty are involved, which can be difficult for ...
