Monitoring of exposure to toxins in raptors in Albania

Bulgarian Journal of Veterinary Medicine, 2023
Raptors are large carnivorous birds, most well known for their scavenging nature. This study evalu-ates the level of exposure to toxins in raptors and vultures in Albania to assess whether existing legis-lation and regulations are effectively protecting ...

Frugivory in Raptors: New Observations from Australia and a Global Review

Birds, 2021
The diets of raptors are some of the best studied and well-known of all bird groups. Raptors are typically carnivores, hunting and feeding on vertebrates and, for some species, invertebrates. Here, we described instances of the Black Kite (Milvus migrans)

Landscape heterogeneity affects diurnal raptor communities in a sub-tropical region of northwestern Himalayas, India.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Raptors are highly sensitive to environmental and human-induced changes. In addition, several species of raptors exist in considerably small numbers. It is thus critical to conserve raptors and their habitats across relatively larger landscapes.

Short-term exposure of anticoagulant rodenticides leads to the toxin accumulation from prey (Rattus losea) to predator (Elanus caeruleus)

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022
Rodenticides are widely used around the world since the 1950s. In Taiwan, an anti-rodent operation initiated 1977 and became a regular action annually implied by the government until 2014.

Minimally Invasive Delivery of Optical Nanosensors Using Injectable Hydrogels

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Injectable peptide hydrogels offer a minimally invasive delivery platform for single‐walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT)‐based near‐infrared fluorescent sensors, enabling real‐time measurement of drug concentrations. Encapsulated SWCNTs show a dose‐dependent fluorescence response across physiologically relevant concentrations and retain their fluorescence ...
