Faunistic inventory of the genus Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Mauritius Island, Indian Ocean: Diversity and spatial distribution of species of veterinary interest Inventaire faunistique du genre Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) sur l'île Maurice dans l'océan Indien: diversité et répartition spatiale des espèces présentant un intérêt vétérinaire

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Four Afrotropical Culicoides species are recorded in Mauritius with suspected or historically involvement in BTV and EHDV transmission. All species were distributed all over the island. While intra‐specific morphological variations were detected, genetic analyses did not reveal any cryptic diversity. Abstract Viruses transmitted by biting midge species

Weaving Entities into Relations: From Page Retrieval to Relation Mining on the Web [PDF]

, 2004
With its sheer amount of information, the Web is clearly an important frontier for data mining. While Web mining must start with content on the Web, there is no effective ``search-based'' mechanism to help sifting through the information on the Web.

Variable geographic distribution of Blastocystis subtypes and its potential implications. [PDF]

, 2013
Blastocystis is a common intestinal micro-eukaryote found in both humans and non-human hosts and known to be genetically very diverse. It has been divided into numerous subtypes (STs), nine of which have been identified in humans to date.

Tree planting choices mediate wildfire damage to tropical forest restoration in eastern Madagascar

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Wildfires threaten tropical rainforest conservation and restoration around the world, and they pose a particular risk to the unique species assemblages in eastern Madagascar. Following an intense period of wildfires in 2020–2022 that impacted 33% of 46 tropical forest restoration sites installed by the non‐profit organization Green Again Madagascar ...

Projecting forest cover in Madagascar's protected areas to 2050 and its implications for lemur conservation

Oryx
Predicting future conservation needs can help inform conservation management but is subject to uncertainty. We measured deforestation rates during 2015–2017 for 114 protected areas in Madagascar, linked deforestation to the status of protection according

An update on pacemaking in the myometrium

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The spread of multiple electrical signals (panel A, blue‐to‐red indicates increasing electrical excitability) that are spatiotemporally distinct, yet in‐phase with the excitatory episode, determines action potential shape and form (panel B, as recorded by single cell microelectrodes) and ensures contractile amplitude and duration

Strontium isotopes are consistent with low‐elevation foraging limits for Henst's goshawk

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2017
Apex predators play critical roles in the ecosystems they inhabit. Unfortunately, little is known about movement patterns for many species. This information is critical for evaluating vulnerability to habitat loss and the adequacy of existing or proposed

Why all those spines? Anachronistic defences in the Didiereoideae against now extinct lemurs

South African Journal of Science, 2013
Plants evolve physical defences, such as spines, against browsing herbivores. However, in some cases, these defences may be anachronistic because the principal consumers of protected parts of the plant are extinct.

Field notes on findings of threatened amphibian species in the central mountain range of western Panama [PDF]

, 2012
During field work along a transect in the Cordillera Central of western Panama between 2008 and 2010, we detected several populations of amphibian species which are considered as “Endangered” or “Critically Endangered” by the IUCN.

On-going frontal alpha rhythms are dominant in passive state and desynchronize in active state in adult gray mouse lemurs [PDF]

, 2015
The gray mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus) is considered a useful primate model for translational research. In the framework of IMI PharmaCog project (Grant Agreement n°115009, www.pharmacog.org), we tested the hypothesis that spectral ...
