ABSTRACT Aims Climate change poses severe threats to biodiversity in Australia, particularly for species already at risk from other factors, such as bluetongue lizards (Tiliqua and Cyclodomorphus spp.). Here we model climate‐driven changes in suitable climatic conditions for bluetongue lizards to 2060 and 2100 under multiple climate scenarios and ...

Efficacy of a two-ingredient fumigant on Richardson's ground squirrel [PDF]
In July 1981, efficacy data were obtained on a new two-ingredient gas cartridge by field testing against Richardson's ground squirrels (Spermophilus richardsonii) in a sagebrush-rangeland pasture. The gas cartridge contained 97 g of a sodium nitrate (65%)

Intra-dance variation among waggle runs and the design of efficient protocols for honey bee dance decoding [PDF]
Noise is universal in information transfer. In animal communication, this presents a challenge not only for intended signal receivers, but also to biologists studying the system.

Understanding how animals interact with their environment across life stages is key for conservation. In our long‐term study of the Blunt‐headed tree snake (Imantodes cenchoa) in the tropical rainforest of Los Tuxtlas, Mexico, we tracked over 240 individuals and found age‐related differences in environmental preferences.

SURVIVAL OF FEMALE WILD TURKEYS TRANSPLANTED BEYOND THEIR CURRENT DISTRIBUTION IN MINNESOTA
: The current distribution of eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) in Minnesota extends well beyond their ancestral range. Severe winter conditions are believed to prevent wild turkeys from persisting in areas beyond their current ...

Acid‐sensing ion channel 1a deficiency drives endocrine hypertension in male mice
Abstract figure legend Acid‐sensing ion channel 1a deficiency drives endocrine hypertension in aged male mice. Global deletion of ASIC1a (Asic1a−/−) in adult male mice (6 months old) elevates corticosterone, leading to hypokalaemia, volume expansion, increased pulse pressure and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.

Linking Snake Behavior to Nest Predation in a Midwestern Bird Community
Nest predators can adversely affect the viability of songbird populations, and their impact is exacerbated in fragmented habitats. Despite substantial research on this predator-prey interaction, however, almost all of the focus has been on the birds ...
