Role of protected areas in mitigating range loss and local extinctions of terrestrial mammals. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Protected areas (PAs) are a major tool in biodiversity conservation, but the extent to which they mitigate species declines is often unclear. We evaluated the effectiveness of PAs in mitigating range contraction and local extinction for 483 terrestrial mammal species.

Handgrip and Acute Hemodynamic Responses During Cyclic Exercise: Randomized Clinical Trial. [PDF]

J Clin Hypertens (Greenwich)
ABSTRACT During exercise, fine hemodynamic adjustments are essential to ensure adequate energy supply. Although cyclic treadmill exercise has been widely studied, isometric exercise with Handgrip (HG) has gained relevance in conditioning and rehabilitation contexts, yet data on the acute hemodynamic effects of combining these modalities remain scarce ...

Integrating presence‐only and presence–absence data to model changes in species geographic ranges: An example in the Neotropics

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 9, Page 1561-1575, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Anthropogenic changes such as land use and climate change affect species' geographic ranges, causing range shifts, contractions, or expansions. However, data on range dynamics are insufficient, heterogeneous, and spatially and temporally biased in most regions.

Implications of fetal premature atrial contractions: systematic review

Ultrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, Volume 60, Issue 6, Page 721-730, December 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT Objective Fetal heart‐rate irregularities occur in 1–2% of pregnancies and are usually caused by premature atrial contractions (PAC). Although PAC are considered benign, they may be associated with cardiac defects and tachyarrhythmia. We aimed to determine the incidence of congenital heart defects (CHDs) and complications in fetuses with PAC ...

Population estimates and trends of three Maui Island‐endemic Hawaiian Honeycreepers

Journal of Field Ornithology, Volume 92, Issue 2, Page 115-126, June 2021., 2021
Abstract Population monitoring is critical for informing the management and conservation of rare Hawaiian forest birds. In 2017, we used point‐transect distance sampling methods to estimate population densities of birds on Haleakalā Volcano on east Maui island.

Measuring policy debate in a regrowing city by sentiment analysis using online media data: A case study of Leipzig 2030

Regional Science Policy &Practice, Volume 13, Issue 3, Page 675-692, June 2021., 2021
Abstract In a time of data science, online crowdsourced data and advanced data analytics would be a waste of resources and knowledge if these tools wouldn't assist urban planning. This paper uses sentiment analysis to understand policy debates' present in online media in a re‐urbanized city and discusses how these tools and new datasets can help ...

Factors influencing occupancy and density of salt marsh songbirds in northeast Florida

Journal of Field Ornithology, Volume 91, Issue 2, Page 156-169, June 2020., 2020
Abstract Salt marshes and the organisms that depend on them are subject to a variety of anthropogenic threats. In Florida, Worthington’s Marsh Wrens (Cistothorus palustris griseus) and MacGillivray’s Seaside Sparrows (Ammospiza maritima macgillivraii) are species of concern that inhabit a small, narrow range of salt marsh in the northeastern corner of ...
