Topsoil Carbon Spatial Patterns and Successional Shifts in Dominant Controls in Tropical Forests on Hainan Island

Land
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a key component of terrestrial carbon stocks, yet its spatial variability, recovery potential, and dominant controls across tropical forest succession remain insufficiently quantified.

Choosing between human trash and trashed forests: Resilience in nonvolant Atlantic Forest small mammals

Ecología Austral, 2023
Open pit rubbish dumps generate serious environmental problems both in Brazil and elsewhere. The goal of this study was to evaluate the occurrence patterns of an assemblage of small flightless mammals in the area of a landfill deactivated 19 years ago ...

Quantitative muscle architecture in large carnivorous marsupials (Marsupialia: Dasyuridae) and links to substrate use and prey processing

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Dasyurid species Sarcophilus harrisii, Dasyurus maculatus, and Dasyurus viverrinus, occupying diverse ecological niches and forming a guild structure in Tasmania, provide a basis for examining the roles of various forelimb muscle groups in prey capture and locomotion.

Climatic controls on vegetation trends and variability in Southeast Asia over the recent two decades

Environmental Advances
Although the spatiotemporal patterns of vegetation productivity in tropical forests have been widely studied, the differences between long-term trends and interannual variability and their respective driving factors remain poorly understood.

Diet of the lizard Ecpleopus gaudichaudii (Gymnophthalmidae) in Atlantic Rainforest, state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2011
In this study we analyzed the diet of the gymnophthalmid lizard Ecpleopus gaudichaudii Duméril & Bibron, 1839, a typical inhabitant of the forest-floor leaf litter, in an Atlantic Forest area in the state of Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil.

Humans and platyrrhines share a pattern of articular variance

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Previous work has identified a pattern of articular shape variation in modern human limb joints, in which convex joint surfaces exhibit constrained variance relative to their more variable concave conarticulars. This pattern is notable given that joint morphogenesis is influenced by local biomechanical environments, which vary substantially ...

First reports on the relationship between the eggshell and bone mineralization in Rhinoclemmys punctularia punctularia embryos

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Composed of various minerals, the eggshell provides ideal conditions for embryonic development, and understanding its composition and structure is essential for clarifying its relationship with bone formation. This study characterized the structure and mineral profile of the Rhinoclemmys punctularia punctularia eggshell in relation to ...
