The trade in freshwater turtles from Bangladesh [PDF]
There are at least 25 species of turtles and tortoises in Bangladesh, with freshwater turtles being particularly abundant. Although these turtles form part of the diet for only a minority of people in the country, they are being exported in increasingly large numbers and this trade could now be threatening this valuable resource.

Common construction materials do not deter turtles from nesting in roadside habitat
We used a before‐during‐after study to evaluate rock rip‐rap at wetland crossings as a mitigation strategy to deter female turtles from nesting in unsafe roadside habitats. Although females did not nest in the rip‐rap, they continued to nest in roadside habitat, indicating the strategy was unsuccessful and required further research.

31P‐MRS of the Human Heart at 7 T With an Integrated Whole‐Body 31P Radiofrequency Transmit Coil
We demonstrate the use of an integrated whole‐body phosphorus‐31 (31P) radiofrequency transmit coil for 31P‐MR spectroscopic imaging of the human heart at 7 T. Intersession measurement repeatability of the mid‐septal myocardial phosphocreatine (PCr) over adenosine triphosphate (ATP) concentration ratio in normal volunteers was 17.7%.

New perspectives on head and neck allometry and ecomorphology in tetrapods
ABSTRACT The skull and neck are vital parts of the body, influencing feeding ecology, habitat exploitation and locomotion. Numerous studies have therefore sought to understand how the size of these segments vary with ecology and scale with overall body size.

Ecosystem Impacts of the Landing Obligation for Unwanted Catch in Thermaikos Gulf (Greece)
ABSTRACT Discards by marine commercial fisheries have been an issue of major concern to the scientific community in recent years. We modeled the ecological and trophic consequences of a mandatory landing obligation (LO) regulated by the reformed Common Fisheries Policy [Regulation (EU) 1380/2013] on the Thermaikos Gulf ecosystem (northwestern Aegean ...
