New Distributional Records of Lizards in Wyoming [PDF]

, 1988
Based upon published evidence (Baxter and Stone, 1985), either lizard distributions in Wyoming are extremely patchy or they are not well known. It is apparent that many of the localities for different species are coincidental and clustered in particular ...

Remote sensing and citizen science for habitat mapping: A machine learning approach to lowland heathland in Surrey, UK

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract In a time of extensive global biodiversity loss, conservation efforts increasingly rely on high‐resolution, accurate, up‐to‐date habitat maps to guide decision‐making and strategic interventions. Many products have been developed in response, using machine learning (ML) methods to automate habitat classification, often relying on satellite ...

Rotenone Induces Morphological Damage and Reduction in Catecholamine Levels in the Central Nervous System of the Ascidian Styela plicata

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ascidians are invertebrates that occupy a key phylogenetic position as a sister group of the vertebrates. The organization of their central nervous system (CNS), with cortex and medulla, indicates a plesiomorphic character of the gray and white matter of vertebrates, making this group of animals useful for studies of neurodegenerative events ...

Husbandry factors are associated with skin, gastrointestinal and ophthalmic disorders in leopard geckos (Eublepharis macularius)

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Research into disorders in captive reptiles is notably sparse in the UK, despite the popularity of various species as pets. This study aimed to survey and investigate risk factors for disorders of leopard geckos in the UK. Methods Medical records for leopard geckos presenting at three veterinary practices between 2019 and 2023 were ...

Field evaluations of thermal optics and tracking tunnels for small mammal surveys at airports and grass dominated habitats

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Small mammal survey tools are needed at airports to help inform aircraft strike‐risk management. We evaluated thermal optics and tracking tunnels as small mammal survey tools. We conclude that thermal optics would not be a viable survey tool for mouse‐sized mammals (19‐41 g) at airfields and other thick grass habitats unless grass height was maintained

Out of the fire and into the frying pan: Hostile post‐fire thermal conditions reduce activity windows for reptiles

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change and intensified fire regimes are reshaping ecosystems globally. Reptiles, as ectotherms, rely on microhabitat shelters to buffer against thermal extremes, yet the capacity of these shelters to persist or function following fire remains poorly understood ...

The effect of prenatal environment on brain mitochondrial function and prey detection in a lizard

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The ability to detect prey is crucial for survival in many animals. However, prey detection is a cognitive process that can be influenced by early life conditions such as prenatal stress or temperature.
