Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective

Oikos, EarlyView.
The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

Dress for success: climate pressures predict fur insulation and body size in natural and reintroduced populations of a threatened marsupial

Oikos, EarlyView.
Phenotypic variation in functional traits underpins responses to environmental gradients, influencing thermoregulation, energy balance, and long‐term persistence under climate extremes. Climate change is altering these gradients globally, yet in species that have already disappeared from much of their range, adaptive phenotypes may have also been lost,

Nutrients digestibility in rabbits fed with rami (Bohemeria nivea)/
Digestibilidade de nutrientes em coelhos alimentados com rami (Bohemeria nivea)

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2005
This work was carried out with the objective of evaluating the nutrients apparent digestibility of rations containing different levels of rami (Boehmeria nivea) for rabbits. 36 rabbits of the New Zealand White race were housed in metabolism cages through

Knee height is often right: evaluating device height effects on camera trapping rate

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Camera trap deployment height can introduce systematic biases in detection trapping rates across species of different body sizes. Combining 172 paired sampling points in five experiments across Europe, North America and Africa, our results show that low cameras significantly increase detections of small‐ and medium‐sized species, whereas high cameras ...

Coccidiosis of the wild rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in France [PDF]

Parasite, 2003
In 1998-1999 a survey of coccidiosis in wild rabbits was carried out in six different localities in France. About five individuals were caught monthly in each locality and a total of 254 wild rabbits was examined. Ten species of Coccidio were identified: Eimeria perforans, E. flavescens, E. piriformis, E. exigua, E. media, E. magna, E.

Modification and expansion of existing body condition scoring scales for rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) improves inter‐rater reliability when used by experienced raters

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Reliable body condition scoring in rabbits is essential in managing healthy bodyweight. The commonly used Rabbit size‐o‐meter (RSOM) has shown poor inter‐rater reliability, particularly among inexperienced raters. This study aimed to develop a reliable, reproducible body condition scoring scale for companion rabbits across breeds ...

Development and validation of a cephalic conformation scoring system for the domestic rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus)

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Extreme cephalic conformation has been theorised to be associated with compromised health in rabbits. However, recognition and assessment of such phenotypes remain largely subjective. This study aimed to develop and validate a visual, semi‐quantitative system for head shape phenotype in rabbits.
