Socioeconomic characteristics of suitable wolf habitat in Sweden

open access: yesAmbio, 2021
Large carnivores are ecologically important, but their behaviour frequently put them in conflict with humans. I suggest that a spatial co-occurrence of suitable habitat and relatively poor socioeconomic conditions in rural areas may contribute to inflated human-carnivore conflict. Here, I test if there is potential for such an explanation for the human-

MODELING POTENTIAL SUITABLE TIGER HABITAT IN SARISKA NATIONAL PARK (INDIA) USING HABITAT SUITABILITY AND INTEGRATED GEOSPATIAL APPROACH

open access: yesInternational Journal on Environmental Sciences, 2020
The aim of the study is to model the actual/potential wildlife habitat suitability with or without the current human impacts with integrated Geospatial technology. The research area is the Sariska National Park, Rajasthan. In order to determine the suitable site, the parameters considered are slope, elevation, aspect, vegetation types and density ...

Shaped by context: Evolutionary trajectories of desiccation tolerance in land plants

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Desiccation tolerance (DT), the ability to survive near‐complete cellular dehydration, is widespread in diaspores but rare in the vegetative tissues of land plants. The patchy and punctuated phylogenetic distribution of vegetative desiccation tolerance (VDT) suggests that the trait is both ancient and recurrent, yet the evolutionary ...

Bird's habitat suitability model in Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve using geographical information system. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Peninsular Malaysia's growing population and rapid economic development have resulted in pressure of forest area usage which consequently led to decrease in wildlife habitat.

Construction of pathogenic Sec16a mutation mouse model using CRISPR/Cas9

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Yaqiang Hu et al. engineered a pathogenic Sec16a mutant mouse model using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. They observed that the Sec16a mutant mice displayed diminished learning and memory capabilities, along with a limb‐clasping phenotype upon tail suspension.

Livestock production land and conservation areas play a complementary role in the conservation of a critically endangered grassland bird

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, 2022
In many parts of the world, livestock production and biodiversity conservation are important land uses of native grasslands in agricultural landscapes. Approaches to managing grasslands typically differ between production farms and conservation areas as ...

Construction of data-driven models to predict the occurrence of planktonic species in the North-Sea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Marine habitat suitability models typically predict the potential distribution of organisms based on basic abiotic variables such as salinity, oxygen concentrations, temperature fluctuations (Gogina & Zettler, 2010) or sediment class information (Degraer

Integrated Evaluation of Contaminant Profiles, Detection Techniques, and Management Strategies for Tannery Sludge

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This review article critically examines the environmental and health hazards of tannery sludge (TS), a complex by‐product of the leather tanning industry. TS is characterized by a diverse array of contaminants, including heavy metals like chromium, organic pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), volatile organic compounds ...
