Revisiting paravertebral muscles in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and European brown hares (Lepus europaeus) (Leporidae; Lagomorpha)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Domesticated European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have long been chosen as laboratory model organisms. Despite this, there has been no definitive study of the vertebral musculature of wild rabbits. Relevant descriptions of well‐studied veterinary model mammals (such as dogs) are generally applicable, but not appropriate for a species ...

Machine learning-based Komodo dragon conservation planning using habitat suitability and wildfire risk

Environmental and Sustainability Indicators
The conservation of Komodo dragons ( Varanus komodoensis ), an apex predator whose top-down regulation of ungulate prey helps sustain savanna ecosystem balance, and an iconic yet endangered species, requires a nuanced understanding of habitat suitability,

Evaluation of conservation approaches for specialist woodland invertebrates [PDF]

, 2011
In recent years, attention in woodland conservation has increasingly focused on developing Forest Habitat Networks (FHN). This strategy aims to target new woodland development towards linking existing woodland fragments together.

Are there morpho‐acoustic patterns of adaptation in nonhuman primate ears? Testing the role of ecology and habitat in shaping ear morphology and function

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...

Expert-based and correlative models to map habitat quality: Which gives better support to conservation planning?

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2018
Biodiversity loss and habitat degradation are big challenges to be tackled by conservation planning since their effects on both ecological and social-economic systems are remarkably detrimental.

Tradable Set-Aside Requirements (TSARs): Conserving Spatially Dependent Environmental Amenities [PDF]

In the lab, we examine the effectiveness of two land use conservation policies: a tradable set aside requirements (TSARs), and the TSARs combined with an agglomeration bonus. Evaluated by bioeconomic efficiency, our experimental results suggest: 1) TSARs

Much more than their fangs: Macroscopic anatomy of the brain of Bothrops moojeni Hoge 1966 (Squamata, Serpentes, Viperidae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Neuroanatomical research has progressed considerably in several vertebrate lineages, yet studies of reptilian brain morphology remain markedly underdeveloped. Here we provide the first description of macroscopic brain anatomy and its ontogeny in the viperid Bothrops moojeni, based on a sample of seven individuals.

Testing the delivery of conservation schemes for farmland birds at the farm-scale during winter, in Southern lowland England

, 2013
Many farmland bird species across Europe have continued to show population declines since the 1970s, as a result of agricultural intensification. A large number of conservation schemes and initiatives have emerged from Government and the food industry ...
