A co‐development approach to conservation leads to informed habitat design and rapid establishment of amphibian communities

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, 2021
1. Effective wildlife restoration is a critical requirement of many conservation actions. The outcome of conservation interventions can be optimized through knowledge of species’ habitat requirements, but few studies consider the impact of using explicit

Cloacoscopy in reptiles

open access: yesVeterinary Quarterly, 1985
Endoscopy of the reptile cloaca is a noninvasive method for the diagnosis of disorders of the cloaca and the structures which empty into it. The technique may also be helpful in sex determination and for local administration of drugs.

Viruses in reptiles [PDF]

open access: yesVeterinary Research, 2011
The etiology of reptilian viral diseases can be attributed to a wide range of viruses occurring across different genera and families. Thirty to forty years ago, studies of viruses in reptiles focused mainly on the zoonotic potential of arboviruses in reptiles and much effort went into surveys and challenge trials of a range of reptiles with eastern and

Shape of the Pulmonary Doppler Sonography Blood Flow Profile of the Congo Grey Parrot (Psittacus erithacus) and the Influence of Heart Disease

open access: yesVeterinary Sciences
In avian medicine, sonographic examination is an important diagnostic tool for heart diseases. Little is known about the diagnostic relevance of the Doppler blood flow profiles of parrots.

Diversity of urban reptiles in three Amazonian municipalities: an assessment using a citizen science platform [PDF]

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
The management and protection of urban habitats are relevant conservation strategies since cities around the world harbor a diversified fauna. Unfortunately, basic species inventories are unavailable for most cities located in tropical regions.

Caution: Reptile pets shuttle grasshopper allergy and asthma into homes

open access: yesWorld Allergy Organization Journal, 2015
The numbers of reptiles in homes has at least doubled in the last decade in Europe and the USA. Reptile purchases are increasingly triggered by the attempt to avoid potentially allergenic fur pets like dogs and cats.

Adult Sex Ratio as a Demographic Feedback Linking Mating Systems, Parental Care, and Evolution

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Breeding systems are some of the most diverse social behavior, and our team is investigation the evolutionary causes of this diversity. This review summarises our research carried out at the University of Bath. We argue that demographic components of wild populations, especially the adult sex ratio, plays a key role driving breeding system variation ...

Shape of the Doppler Sonographic Systolic Blood Flow Profile of the Pulmonary Artery of Healthy Racing Pigeons and the Influence of Anesthesia

open access: yesVeterinary Sciences
There is scant information available about the blood flow of the pulmonary artery in avian cardiology. In human medicine, the shape of the Doppler sonographic blood flow profile of the pulmonary artery can be used to access the pressure conditions of the

A Soft Robotic Finger With Deep Learning‐Enhanced Tactile Sensing for Texture and Softness Recognition

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Inspired by human touch, a tendon‐driven soft robotic finger combines multimodal tactile sensing and deep learning to simultaneously perceive texture and softness on deformable surfaces. A CNN‐LSTM model fuses pressure, accelerometer, and gyroscope signals to accurately classify material properties, achieving up to 95.4% texture and 97.0% softness ...
