Urban biotic homogenization: Approaches and knowledge gaps
Ecological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 8, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Urbanization is restructuring ecosystems at an unprecedented pace, with complex and profound consequences for life on Earth. One of the hypothesized trajectories of urban ecosystems and species communities is biotic homogenization, possibly leading to very similar species assemblages in cities across the globe.

Are Libraries an Endangered Species? [PDF]
American Journal of Neuroradiology, 2010 When was the last time you stepped into your institution's library? A few weeks ago my son asked me to get him some books from the undergraduate library, and this stirred in me the desire to learn more about the current status of libraries.

Breakthroughs and new horizons in reproductive biology of rare and endangered animal species
Biology of Reproduction, 2019 Because of higher extinction rates due to human and natural factors, more basic and applied research in reproductive biology is required to preserve wild species and design proper strategies leading to sustainable populations. The objective of the review

Ecological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 8, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Species conservation and management require reliable information about animal distribution and population size. Better management actions within a species' range can be achieved by identifying the location and timing of population changes. In the Greater Mahale Ecosystem (GME), western Tanzania, deforestation due to the expansion of human ...

Recyclable NiO/sepiolite as adsorbent to remove organic dye and its regeneration
Scientific Reports, 2022 In this study, the impregnation synthesis of NiO/sepiolite and its application for dye removal during wastewater treatment is introduced. The NiO/sepiolite materials act as an adsorbent/catalyst.

Ecological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 8, December 2022., 2022 Abstract The brown treesnake (BTS) (Boiga irregularis) invasion on Guåhan (in English, Guam) led to the extirpation of nearly all native forest birds. In recent years, methods have been developed to reduce BTS abundance on a landscape scale. To help assess the prospects for the successful reintroduction of native birds to Guåhan following BTS ...

Ecohydrology, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Rivers in arid regions often rely on flow generated from wetter regions upstream, leading to high transmission losses of downstream flows. These transmission losses support a range of ecosystems, but partitioning the volume of the transmission losses across the floodplain, riparian zone and in‐channel is difficult.

Endangered species and endangered knowledge
Zootaxa, 2009 The recent discovery of a new species of land iguana in the Galapagos (Tzika et al. 2008; Gentile et al. 2009; Gentile & Snell 2009) is indeed an exciting novelty, of great interest to all zoologists and evolutionary biologists. This species being apparently represented only by a very small population with a very limited range, it was described as ...
