Foraging under Predation Risk: A test of giving-up densities with samango monkeys in South Africa [PDF]

, 2013
Animals frequently make a trade-off between food and safety and will sacrifice feeding effort if it means safety from predators. A forager can also vary its vigilance levels to manage predation risk.

Finding floral and faunal species richness optima among active fire regimes

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Changing fire regimes have important implications for biodiversity and challenge traditional conservation approaches that rely on historical conditions as proxies for ecological integrity. This historical‐centric approach becomes increasingly tenuous under climate change, necessitating direct tests of environmental impacts on biodiversity.

Targeting FABP4 to Inhibit AGEs‐RAGE/NF‐κB Signalling Effectively Ameliorates Nucleus Pulposus Dysfunction and Angiogenesis in Obesity‐Related Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Obesity promotes the progression of intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) through the mTORC1/FABP4 axis. Targeting FABP4 effectively ameliorates nucleus pulposus dysfunction and angiogenesis in obesity‐related IVDD. ABSTRACT Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a primary contributor to low back pain, posing significant social and economic ...

Poultry–carnivore conflict in Chile: Are we advancing toward effective co‐existence for small wild carnivore conservation?

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Livestock–carnivore conflict is one of the main threats to carnivore conservation worldwide, and mesocarnivores have been understudied in this topic. We evaluated poultry–carnivore conflict from the perspective of governmental advisors that support poultry breeders across Chile.

Changes in abundance and distribution of European forest bird populations depend on biome, ecological specialisation and traits

Ecography, EarlyView.
Forest bird abundance in Europe has remained stable overall, unlike farmland species which have declined dramatically in recent decades. However, this apparent stability may hide large variations among species and geographical regions. We aimed to determine if forest bird species with varying life histories and biome distributions show different ...

Aspects of the biology of the Australasian harrier (Circus aeruginosus approximans Peale 1848) : a thesis presented for the degree of Master of Science by thesis only in Zoology at Massey University [PDF]

, 1978
The study is based on 18 months intensive field-work during which 212 Australasian harriers were trapped, retrapped, measured, sexed, aged, individually marked and observed.

Strategic Deployment of Secondary Defences in the Springbok Mantis (Miomantis Caffra)

Ethology, EarlyView.
Prey often use multiple defences for warding off predator threats. But the factors that influence their optimal deployment are poorly understood. In the springbok mantis, we show that females utilise their defences strategically to match the level of the threat by fleeing in early phases of the predation sequence and standing their ground with startle ...

Regulation of physiological and pathological condensates by molecular chaperones

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Mounting evidence suggests that stress granules (SGs), dynamic membraneless compartments involved in cellular stress responses, can transition into pathological condensates upon improper disassembly. This review discusses the evidence supporting this notion.

PI5P4K inhibitors: promising opportunities and challenges

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Developing inhibitors is like climbing a steep, challenging mountain. PI5P4K inhibitors hold significant promise for the treatment of cancer, immune disorders, and neurological diseases. However, the path to success is fraught with hurdles, and researchers are therefore required to apply their expertise to overcome critical “checkpoints.” While some ...

Conservation genetics of Iberian raptors

Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2011
In this paper I provide an overview of conservation genetics and describe the management actions in the wild that can benefit from conservation genetic studies. I describe the genetic factors of risk for the survival of wild species, the consequences of loss of genetic diversity, inbreeding and outbreeding depression, and the use of genetic tools to ...
