Potential Invasion Risk of Pet Traded Lizards, Snakes, Crocodiles, and Tuatara in the EU on the Basis of a Risk Assessment Model (RAM) and Aquatic Species Invasiveness Screening Kit (AS-ISK)

Diversity, 2019
Because biological invasions can cause many negative impacts, accurate predictions are necessary for implementing effective restrictions aimed at specific high-risk taxa.

Corporate Crocodile Tears? On the Reactive Attitudes of Corporate Agents

, 2017
Recently, a number of people have argued that certain entities embodied by groups of agents themselves qualify as agents, with their own (analogs of) beliefs, desires, and intentions; even, some cl ...

Climate‐Driven Mangrove Dieback and Recovery: A Case Study in Albert and Leichhardt Rivers, Australia

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Cycles of dieback and recovery drove mangrove forest dynamics at the Albert and Leichhardt Rivers (Gulf of Carpentaria, Queensland, Australia) over 36 years (1987–2023). Landward margins were the most affected by reduced tidal inundation when the alignment of low lunar declination suppressed tidal range and extreme El Niño phases lowered mean sea level.

Evaluating Pt Nanoparticle Electrocatalyst Stability on Corrosion Free Carbon Supports Using Identical Location TEM

Small, EarlyView.
Pt nanoparticle stability during accelerated stress testing at high anodic potentials was investigated using identical location TEM on a corrosion‐resistant boron‐doped diamond (BDD) electrode. Changes in nanoparticle size, position, and response with respect to nearest neighbor distance on a particle‐by‐particle basis were tracked using machine vision

Exploring Distribution‐of‐Practice Effects on L2 Grammar Learning Among Older Adults

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper examines the effects of practice distribution among older adult learners of L2 English, an understudied population in both second language acquisition and distributed practice research. Additionally, it considers the effects of proficiency and age.

Double gene targeting multiplex PCR-RFLP detects Crocodylus porosus in chicken meatball and traditional medicine

International Journal of Food Properties, 2018
Crocodiles have been hunted and consumed for centuries for skins, nutrients, and medicines. These indomitable trends have overpowered restrictions from wildlife and conservation agencies, continuing the illegal trades of crocodiles across the world. This

Den attendance by Arctic foxes experiencing 10 years of increasing tourism

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife tourism is a growing industry, and an increasing number of people seek to observe and interact with wild animals in their natural surroundings. In Iceland, the native Arctic fox Vulpes lagopus is widespread and has been under heavy hunting pressure for centuries.

Seasonal variations and challenges in estimating populations and identifying species of Korean ungulates using drone‐derived thermal orthomosaic maps

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Drones equipped with thermal infrared (TIR) cameras offer significant time and labor savings in estimating wild ungulate populations. However, accurately monitoring forest‐dwelling ungulates remains challenging due to their elusive behavior and complex habitat.

Genetic evidence supports a distinct lineage of American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) in the Greater Antilles

PeerJ, 2018
Four species of true crocodile (genus Crocodylus) have been described from the Americas. Three of these crocodile species exhibit non-overlapping distributions—Crocodylus intermedius in South America, C. moreletii along the Caribbean coast of Mesoamerica,

Contrasting properties of predation and scavenging networks governed by megaherbivores in an African savannah

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
For the first time, predation and scavenging networks are directly compared within a single ecosystem. Using an 8‐year dataset of African mammals, including megaherbivores, this study reveals distinct structural rules and body mass constraints, providing a scalable framework for studying consumer–resource dynamics and ecosystem function.
