Using biotelemetry to assess drone effects on whale sharks

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The use of unoccupied aerial vehicles or drones for wildlife research has proliferated in recent years and they have proven to be a valuable tool for collecting data for population surveys, morphometric and body condition measurements, and for observing behavior.

Genome‐wide identification and solute selectivity of aquaporins in the sharpnose sevengill shark, Heptranchias perlo

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, April 2026.
Abstract The aquaporin genes (aqps) are widely distributed among vertebrates. In cartilaginous fish, aqp3 and aqp10 are duplicated, whereas many species have lost aqp8. While the solute permeability of aquaglyceroporins and Aqp8 exhibits significant diversity, systematic evaluations of their activity within species are limited.

Effects of salinization on tropical freshwater wetland primary producers and aquatic invertebrates

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.
Sea level rise is expected to transform coastal aquatic ecosystems world‐wide. The freshwater wetlands of tropical northern Australia are among the most biodiverse and productive ecosystems on the continent, but owing to high regional rates of sea level rise coupled with low‐lying land and large tides they are increasingly affected by saltwater ...

Illegal Wildlife Trade in a Tourism and Biodiversity Hotspot

Sustainable Development, Volume 33, Issue 6, Page 9106-9122, December 2025.
ABSTRACT There are clear connections between tourism, development, and sustainable use—particularly in biodiversity hotspots, where tourists may unknowingly purchase souvenirs made from protected wildlife. This issue is explicitly recognized in the Sustainable Development Goals, including SDG15, Life on Land, and SDG16, Peace, Justice, and Strong ...

An outbreak of chlamydiosis in farmed Indopacific crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus).

Journal of the South African Veterinary Association, 2008
An outbreak of chlamydiosis was diagnosed in hatchling and juvenile Indopacific crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) on a crocodile farm in Papua New Guinea. The outbreak was characterised by high mortality with hepatitis and exudative conjunctivitis. The agent appears to have been introduced with live wild-caught crocodiles, which are purchased routinely ...

Harvest and natural predation shape selection for behavioural predictability in male wild turkeys

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 12, Page 2627-2640, December 2025.
Male wild turkeys with riskier behavioural types were more predictable in their behavioural expression and more likely to be killed by both hunters and predators. If risk‐taking behaviour is heritable, selective removal of riskier and more predictable individuals may reduce harvest success over time, making wild turkeys increasingly difficult for ...

Applying the IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology to classify, describe, and map ecosystems based on regional data and Indigenous knowledge

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.
Four streams of infromation, data, and knowledges are brought together into an ecosystem typology for the Tiwi Islands. The Typology contains written descriptions and conceptual models for each ecosystem, cross‐reference to other classification schemes, and a map of ecosystem distributions. Abstract Effective ecosystem conservation for biodiversity and

High genetic diversity and demographic history of captive Siamese and Saltwater crocodiles suggest the first step toward the establishment of a breeding and reintroduction program in Thailand.

PLoS ONE, 2017
The Siamese crocodile (Crocodylus siamensis) and Saltwater crocodile (C. porosus) are two of the most endangered animals in Thailand. Their numbers have been reduced severely by hunting and habitat fragmentation.
