Multispecies slavery–environment nexus in resource extraction and animals' ecological politics: Coercive donkey labour in Indian river sand mining

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of British Geographers, EarlyView.
Short Abstract Coercive animal labour is often state sanctioned as an ecologically friendly mode of sand mining, based on anthropocentric environmental ideology that sees animal bodies as solutions or fixes for often human‐caused environmental crises, even as, incrementally, it causes extreme ecological destruction.

Phylogenetic allometric scaling of near basal breathing frequency in terrestrial, semi‐aquatic and aquatic mammals

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract We measured the BASAL breathing frequency following an overnight fast in adult, non‐pregnant/non‐lactating, inactive mammals ranging in body mass from 15 to 5520 kg. The data included results from 338 individual animals from 34 species that were divided into terrestrial, semi‐aquatic (Otariidae and Phocidae) and aquatic mammals.

Cardiac conduction system and the electrocardiogram of the common hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius)

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The common hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) shares a common terrestrial ancestor with whales (Cetacea) and has independently evolved similar physiological adaptations to their aquatic lifestyle. Although several studies have explored the electrical signalling in whale hearts, the understanding of the conduction system and electrical ...
