The politics of animal extinction and conservation: Interests, framing, and policy

Journal of Political Ecology, 2023
Why do conservation policies fail to prevent species extinctions and die-offs in contravention of stated intentions and goals? Bringing together a range of literature, including political ecology, political theory, conservation science, communication ...

Dust distribution in L1217/L1219: Nice vs. Nicer [PDF]

Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2004
The dust in molecular clouds reliably traces the molecular gas within. We used this assumption to get an estimate of the dense cores size and mass in L1217/L1219 by deriving the total optical extinction, and therefore, the total column density.

Integrating deep-time palaeontology in conservation prioritisation

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Halting biodiversity loss under growing anthropogenic pressure is arguably the greatest environmental challenge we face. Given that not all species are equally threatened and that resources are always limited, establishing robust prioritisation schemes ...

Extinction and Non-Extinction of Solutions to a p-Laplace Equation with a Nonlocal Source and an Absorption Term

Mathematical Modelling and Analysis, 2014
In this short paper, the authors investigate the extinction and non-extinction of solutions to a fast diffusive p-Laplace equation with a nonlocal source and an absorption term.

Global dynamics and optimal harvesting in a stochastic two-predators one-prey system with distributed delays and Lévy noise

Journal of Biological Dynamics, 2020
In this paper, we first investigate a stochastic two-predators one-prey model with Lévy noise and distributed delays. The global dynamical behaviour is discussed.

Microrefugia and species persistence in the Galápagos highlands: A 26,000-year paleoecological perspective.

Frontiers in Genetics, 2013
The Galápagos Islands are known to have experienced significant drought during the Quaternary. The loss of mesophytic upland habitats has been suggested to underlie the relatively lower endemism of upland compared with lowland plant assemblages.

Eyeblink Classical Conditioning and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder – A Model Systems Approach

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2015
Not everyone exposed to trauma suffers flashbacks, bad dreams, numbing, fear, anxiety, sleeplessness, hyper-vigilance, hyperarousal, or an inability to cope, but those who do may suffer from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Facilitating evolutionary rescue from a wildlife health threat with cross-sectoral strategies: a case study on white-nose syndrome

Ecology and Society
Evolutionary rescue, the ability of a species to evolve under new selective pressures and rebound from threats, occurs within a social-ecological system.

Activation of dopamine receptors in the nucleus accumbens promotes sucrose-reinforced cued approach behavior

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2016
Dopamine receptor activation in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) promotes vigorous environmentally-cued food-seeking in hungry rats. Rats fed ad libitum, however, respond to fewer food-predictive cues, particularly when the value of food reward is low.
