THE TRANSCALAR POLITICS AND SPATIAL IMPLICATIONS OF INVESTMENTS IN SHOPPING MALLS IN AFRICAN CITIES: A Study of Accra's West Hills Mall, Ghana

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract A surge in the number of shopping malls across many African cities reflects capital's responses to the continent's growing middle class and deepening neoliberal globalization. This article develops an analysis of the transcalar nature of these urban investments using the case of the West Hills Mall (WHM) in the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (

Harnessing the strategy of metagenomics for exploring the intestinal microecology of sable (Martes zibellina), the national first-level protected animal

AMB Express, 2020
Sable (Martes zibellina), a member of family Mustelidae, order Carnivora, is primarily distributed in the cold northern zone of Eurasia. The purpose of this study was to explore the intestinal flora of the sable by metagenomic library-based techniques ...

Divergence Linked to Possible Ecological Speciation in Blind Mole Rats: Integration of Thermal Biology and Bite Force in the Upper Galilee Blind Mole Rat (Nannospalax galili)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Basalt‐dwelling blind mole rats maintain lower body temperatures, show greater post‐digging thermal increases, and dig more efficiently than those from rendzina soils. Although metabolic rates and bite force did not differ between populations, these thermal and physiological shifts align with the greater mechanical resistance and seasonal hypoxia of ...

Geographical Variation in Thermal Adaptation of the Asiatic Toad (Bufo gargarizans)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Northern and southern populations of Bufo gargarizans exhibit coordinated divergence in thermal preference, resting metabolic rate, and TRPM4 temperature sensitivity along a climatic gradient. ABSTRACT Thermal adaptation in animals can manifest in multiple dimensions, yet few studies have integrated behavioral, physiological, and molecular perspectives

Effects of 6‐OHDA‐Mediated Chemical Denervation of Sympathetic Axons in Inguinal Subcutaneous White Adipose Tissue

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims White adipose tissue (WAT) innervation by sensory and sympathetic axons contributes to tissue functions, but the consequences of selectively disrupting sympathetic input to WAT remain incompletely defined. Materials and Methods We utilised 6‐hydroxydopamine (6‐OHDA) as a validated approach to achieve bilateral sympathetic denervation of ...

Analysis of Feed Digestibility in Wild and Farmed Sable (Martes zibellina) in Yakutia (Northeast Asia)

Siberian Journal of Life Sciences and Agriculture
Background. Yakutia has always been famous for its traditions of breeding silver-black foxes, white (polar) and "blue" (veil) arctic foxes, but industrial breeding of sables has not been practiced in the republic.
