Climate change causes reductions in fish habitat suitability in Loktak Lake, India

open access: yesEcological Indicators
Climate change affects ecological processes that govern species distribution patterns at different spatio-temporal scales. To aid in habitat restoration aimed at increasing biodiversity, numerous habitat models were developed and employed in the past. In

Modelling potential habitat for snow leopards (Panthera uncia) in Ladakh, India.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
The snow leopard Panthera uncia is an elusive species inhabiting some of the most remote and inaccessible tracts of Central and South Asia. It is difficult to determine its distribution and density pattern, which are crucial for developing conservation ...

Landsat ETM+ and SRTM Data Provide Near Real-Time Monitoring of Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) Habitats in Africa

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2016
All four chimpanzee sub-species populations are declining due to multiple factors including human-caused habitat loss. Effective conservation efforts are therefore needed to ensure their long-term survival.

Study on the spawning habitat suitability of four major Chinese carps in the fluctuating backwater area of the Three Gorges Reservoir

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2022
The upstream of the Yangtze River has abundant fish resources and is home to the four major Chinese carps (FMCCs), which are economically important fish in the Yangtze River that reside in the fluctuating backwater area (FBA) of the Three Gorges ...

Structural and biochemical insights into the thermostable esterase Ta0887 from Thermoplasma acidophilum

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this study, a novel esterase from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum was biochemically and structurally characterized. Our results demonstrate that Ta0887 is a highly thermostable esterase that preferentially hydrolyzes p‐nitrophenyl hexanoate and possesses an α‐helical cap domain that likely contributes to its substrate ...

STATEWIDE ASSESSMENT OF WILD TURKEY HABITAT USING SATELLITE IMAGERY IN ARKANSAS

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2005
: We explored the potential provided by classified digital land cover maps derived from remotely sensed satellite imagery for assessing statewide habitat suitability for eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) in Arkansas.

The Ecology of Cuvier’s beaked whale, Ziphius cavirostris (Cetacea: Ziphiidae), in the Bay of Biscay [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This dissertation introduces the habitat use and spatial-temporal distribution of Cuvier’s beaked whale (Ziphius cavirostris, Cuvier, 1823) in the Bay of Biscay, from surveys carried out by the Biscay Dolphin Research Programme between 1995 and 2007.

A HABITAT SUITABILITY APPROACH TO EVALUATING LANDSCAPE PATTERNS FOR EASTERN WILD TURKEY

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2000
: Evaluating wildlife habitat over large geographic regions is difficult because of the labor‐intensive nature of measuring habitat in the field using traditional suitability models.

Melanin's Role in Balancing Mechanical Strength and Reproductive Output in Environmentally Stressed Fungal Spores

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...
